I would say just about every decision that HAS been made. The removal or Habeus Corpus (sp) the removal of our privacy, the terrorist list that most Americans are actually on, Illegal wars, a national ID card, the possible "unification" of north America... a war with Iran that NOONE is excited(in the literal sense, not the positive sense.) or upset about. All these things could have been vetoed or revisited, and yet he hasn't done any of it.
Now the "9/11 changed everything" bullshit aside, he should have read these things and actually wondered how this would affect the American people, and I must say I am disgusted that it was thought that we would gladly hand over out rights and privacy because of an attack we were warned about and didn't heed.
This isn't him taking on a job he couldn't handle, this is him IGNORING plenty of warnings and then using (yes, using) the fear this created to make MORE bad decisions. He could have been going "oh shit what do I do now?" the whole time letting the 9/11 hype control his decision making, but then that doesn't help his case at all and actually makes it look worse.
He could have turned this over to someone else if he felt it wasn't working out, that would have been honorable, but we've had to suffer 8 years of bullshit because the president thought that (what was it?) 13 countries were just playing a prank when they were telling us we'd be attacked... and I'm just saying that cause that was the event that catapulted us into the bullshit we're in.

I think people greatly overestimate Bush's desire and ability. I'll agree that he's not good at making decisions, he's not a good speaker, he doesn't understand shit about foreign relations or the economy, and we'd be better off without him. But I do not agree that he is evil and deceptive enough to extend his power for another term.

Sorry, but I honestly don't see how this
isn't defending him, but aside from that (which you're not even a good example cause I honestly feel like I don't know where you stand on anything besides obama lol), I've seen TONS of people defend him, have you missed all the Bush groupies who still worship him???
And I don't see how my saying he is just a bad president who has not thought one bit about the constitution OR the American people
is defending him.
If you look at all of the things that have happened throughout the years, all the people who have entered and left the offices and the things that happened, the things that were said and such, I think its naive to think that there wasn't something planned going on. I'm not saying "there were no planes!!11" and I'm not saying "Bush did it all!", but I am saying that "Bush needs to think about the American people for once" and "He knew about 9/11".
On a side note, I realize that much of the bad shit has seemingly happened with Cheney, and I realize this, but I would think that Bush wouldn't let that warmonger push him around when it comes to decision making, and makes me respect Bush less.
My post wasn't an attack on you personally, but the way your post was phrased made me think about people with that mentality. Its generally how I post and most people can't see that, which makes sense I guess.
