You want to see him impeach himself? Heck I want to see him impale himself..can we get him on one of those Segway things again? Preferabbly in an area with lots sharp pointed sticks spread about? Or maybe feed him some pretzels again...
On second thought, the guy is dumb enough to actually impeach himself somehow..

The Dubai Ports World deal is waking Americans up to a painful reality: So-called "conservatives" and "flat world" globalists have bankrupted our nation for their own bag of silver, and in the process are selling off America.
The old concept was that if there was a dollar's worth of labor in a pair of shoes made in the USA, and somebody wanted to import shoes from China where there may only be ten cents worth of labor in those shoes, we'd level the playing field for labor by putting a 90-cent import tariff on each pair of shoes. Companies could choose to make their products here or overseas, but the ultimate cost of labor would be the same.
Then came the flat-worlders, led by misguided true believers and promoted by multinational corporations. Do away with those tariffs, they said, because they "restrain trade." Let everything in, and tax nothing. The result has been an explosion of cheap goods coming into our nation, and the loss of millions of good manufacturing jobs and thousands of manufacturing companies. Entire industry sectors have been wiped out.
These policies have kneecapped the American middle class. Our nation's largest employer has gone from being the unionized General Motors to the poverty-wages Wal-Mart. Americans have gone from having a net savings rate around 10 percent in the 1970s to a minus .5 percent in 2005 - meaning that they're going into debt or selling off their assets just to maintain their lifestyle.
At the same time, federal policy has been to do the same thing at a national level. Because our so-called "free trade" policies have left us with an over $700 billion annual trade deficit, other countries are sitting on huge piles of the dollars we gave them to buy their stuff (via Wal-Mart and other "low cost" retailers). But we no longer manufacture anything they want to buy with those dollars.
So instead of buying our manufactured goods, they are doing what we used to do with Third World nations - they are buying us, the USA, chunk by chunk. In particular, they want to buy things in America that will continue to produce profits, and then to take those profits overseas where they're invested to make other nations strong. The "things" they're buying are, by and large, corporations, utilities, and natural resources.

Bush is no different than any other president who takes office and makes money out of the entire ride. His family has been doing it forever.
Clinton did the fucking same. He just looked smoother doing it, hence the high rating.
Why not keep it up? Even in the name of the US Presidency.

buying up huge lots of US businesses has been going on since the early 1900's.
nothing new there. take a look at lower Manhattan. I think the Japanese lost more money than any other entity during 9/11.
vice versa.

(Mar 29 06, 13:21)As someone who can look around his house and see 99.9% of his possessions saying "Made in xxxx"... and the xxxx AIN'T America... the answer is obvious.

Garrett I will respectively disagree with you. Of course, anyone willing to be president has to do so out of a sense of personal ambition - for good or ill. But there are those who have held that office that believe in the integrity of public service and adhering to constitutional principals and notions of the the common good. The Bush presidency lacks all of those things..

To compare a president like clinton to a president like bush is just fucking dishonest.
Clinton came from a poor family and is a self made man, rhodes scholar etc. Bush was handed everyhting on a silver platter.

Carter I'd say for sure. Heck, I'll even give you Reagen for having integrity of belief and a naive sense of American fairness - at least in foreign policy.
And what shitloads of money did Bill make exactly?
The Bushes have been an oppportunistic pockmark on the American scene for generations now though.
