I just wanted everyone in the U.S. to know that my stimulus check that will be used to fill up my tank with gas will be going directly back to Saudi Arabia not back into the U.S. Economy!
Hopefully the stimulus check will help Saudi Arabia train and prepare their terrorist for future attacks agianst the U.S.
Thank you George W. Bush,
God Bless America- lol. nice. it'll also make the shareholders of Exxon very happy. Good Job W.nearestexit

Protected my family and I's well being and kept us safe from any further radical terrorist attacks, for starters. Did the best job possible of stimulating the weakening economy by keeping tax rates low and encouraging private investment. This time next year, I doubt I will have the same outlook. With the capital gains and income tax rates soaring like rockets, we'll soon see the real advantages of supply side economics and low taxes.

Hey Hedge, here's a couple more for your list:
• Allowed speculators to raise the price of oil helping to weaken the US dollar.
• Failed oversight of the home mortgage loan industry ensuring that housing prices plummeted thereby further weakening the US economy.
• Become a joke in the eyes of other nations instead of the world leader it could be.
• Ignored the problem of fiscal issues this country faces like our record trade deficit, the budget deficit, and our national debt.Ya, thanks W. Thanks for digging that hole a little deeper.

“When fascism comes to America it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” - Sinclair Lewis
I believe fascism has already arrived in America, goes by the name of George W. Bush!

@hedge. To quote one of my American heroes, Gen Patton:
"The only thing to do when a son of a bitch looks cross-eyed at you is to beat the hell out of him right then and there."
You sir, are a son of a bitch and you're looking at me cross-eyed. And I'll drink to that.

"I believe fascism has already arrived in America, goes by the name of George W. Bush!"
You've gone and mixed up fascism with socialism.
"• Allowed speculators to raise the price of oil helping to weaken the US dollar."
Yeah, increased worldwide demand, declining supply and increasing production costs had nothing to do with it. And raising the price of oil does not weaken the US dollar, as you claim. You've got that backwards, bud.

Lost my 2008 tax return. They did manage to cash the check that I sent along with the return... Bastards.

Hedge. so you're OK with our ballooning debt and deficit? Comeon, admit it, our current administration is a joke when it comes to fiscal policy.

I agree that the Bush administration has done a terrible job with spending. Frankly, it's quite the opposite of what the real republican prefers. I just don't like when people paint all republicans with same generalized brush.

has not done jack shit for me other than create a fancy databse
"According to a senior government official who served with high-level security clearances in five administrations, "There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived 'enemies of the state' almost instantaneously." He and other sources tell Radar that the database is sometimes referred to by the code name Main Core. One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million Americans are now listed in Main Core as potentially suspect. In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention. "
- the database is in excell, so it'll corrupt and be broken in no time.airey

Oh, and good point. The weakening dollar, which in part has been brought on by foreign investors selling their stake in our currency, has pushed commodities, like oil, to higher prices.
