“As far as history goes and all of these quotes about people trying to guess what the history of the Bush administration is going to be, you know, I take great comfort in knowing that they don’t know what they are talking about, because history takes a long time for us to reach.”— George W. Bush, Fox News Sunday, Feb10, 2008

In an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted over a three-week period through the History News Network, 98.2 percent assessed the presidency of Mr. Bush to be a failure while 1.8 percent classified it as a success.

“George Bush has combined mediocrity with malevolent policies and has thus seriously damaged the welfare and standing of the United States,” wrote one of the historians, echoing the assessments of many of his professional colleagues. “Bush does only two things well,” said one of the most distinguished historians. “He knows how to make the very rich very much richer, and he has an amazing talent for f**king up everything else he even approaches. His administration has been the most reckless, dangerous, irresponsible, mendacious, arrogant, self-righteous, incompetent, and deeply corrupt one in all of American history.”

With his approval among the rank and file voters down to 28% this delusional oaf falls back on history to judge him.

His presidency will be remembered as an autocracy, with no regard for rights and a penchant for making the rich richer.

While I consider the current administration to be evil incarnate. I blame the Congress and the courts for our problems.
Not once did our faithless representatives stand up to these bullies.
They allowed them to put people in place who have eviscerated the watchdog organizations that were intended to protect us from such abuses.
They allowed the multinational corporations to profit at the expense of American jobs.
They allowed our rights to be trampled.
They allowed the destruction of a healthy economy.
The list is virtually endless.

Politicians are the same regardless of party. The Democrats came to power swearing they were going to change the way the committee system works. The day they arrived in Washington, they reconsidered their position on such matters and decided to keep power for themselves.

Watching politics at work reminds me of the scene in Bladerunner where Decker was told. “If you’re not one of us, you’re little people.”
