W. and the damage done

After a couple of presidential terms, mismanagement in every area of policy -- foreign, domestic, even extraterrestrial -- starts to add up. When George W.

The opening paragraph says it all, best.

After a couple of presidential terms, mismanagement in every area of policy -- foreign, domestic, even extraterrestrial -- starts to add up. When George W. Bush entered the White House in January 2001, he inherited peace and prosperity. The military, the Constitution and New Orleans were intact and the country had a budget surplus of $128 billion. Now he's about to dash out the door, leaving a large, unpaid bill for his successors to pay.

I don't know what else to say about this man and the devastation & pain that he has caused this country. As he and his wife exit the white house to their comfortable lifestyle, with the protection of the secret service until his life ends is less than what he deserves even as a child of god. I'm not affected by the economy so far as a job but for the people across the country and what I see in my community; for him to think that saying sorry will fix the problem, how dare he! He let a mole hill turn into a mountain that will probably take two presidents to fix and our great grandchildren will stay be paying the bill. To quote Michael Douglas' character from the movie the American President, "Why don't we take him out back and beat the s*** out of him." It's not the justice he deserves a jail cell(with cheney) would be gratifying.
