So the terrorist attack on our soil in '01 was all Bush's fault? And the worst economic melt down in 30 years (get your facts straight) is all Bush's fault? The failed policies of the Clinton administration that led to the housing crisis and the fact that Bush just took office when terrorists exposed our vulnerabilities due to Clinton's weaknesses...those things mean nothing for you? Do you realize that in your irresponsible comments you just condoned a murder plot against our president? I thought you had more respect for our system of government and the office of the president than to say something like that. This is why we have elections and term limits (in case you want to talk about disputed elections, at least term limits serve to limit the damage one bad president can do). Instead of having to devise a plot to other throw our govt, and instead of having to hatch a complicated scheme to murder our commander-in-chief, we simply get to elect a new one.
Bush apologists are big on not pinning 9/11 on him. But "he has kept us safe for the last 7 years". You can't have both. 1) 9 months is 20% of his term. At what point in a term is a president responsible for securing the country? 40% in? 50%? 2) Are you aware that he gets a daily security briefing? So, that means that in the 9 months between his inauguration and the attack he had gotten about 300 of these things, including one titled "Bin laden determined to strike in US"! So, yes. I blame him.
As far as condoning a murder plot, let me be clear: I don't put Bush's crimes on par with Hitler's, and I don't support or condone anyone trying to take him out. What I was speaking to was the spirit that the Germans in the movie possessed to do the right thing. The "right thing" in this case is not assassination. I believe that prosecution is the appropriate action for Bush and his guys. I believe he has done tremendous, tremendous harm to our country. I don't think he meant to. I think in his head, he was doing what was right. And that makes him the most dangerous type of dangerous person in my book. The well intended one...
