What is the cruelest, stupidest thing Bush has done in his presidency?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

What do you think are the a.) cruelest and b.)stupidest things Bush has done in his presidency. I narrowed it down to make it (slightly) easier to decide.

[MichiganVote]

1. Swerved in the presidency for almost four years. That about says it all

[movonne]

2. I think everything he has done is a.) and b.)

[jdj]

3. Iraq of course, and then second in the long term it will be turning

back the clock on global warming.

[Semi_subversive]

4. Breathing!

[Bok_Tukalo]

5. My $0.02

a.) Looting the Working Class payroll tax surplus

b.) The invasion and occupation of Iraq

[immoderate]

10. Bingo!

--IMM

[Vickers]

6. A. sending kids to die for a lie B. nominated Ashcroft for AG (eom)

[Lori Price CLG]

7. It's a 600-way tie!

Here is one that got little publicity, and it seems minor... but I could not *believe* when Bush gagged the Agriculture Department from discussing the news item that rocket fuel had contaminated eighty per cent of the lettuce supply in Colorado. The media whores should have been all over that one... like a duck on a June bug.

Oh, yeah. 'Shock And Awe.' Cruel, stupid, and worthy of a treason trial.

8. Hmm, were to start?

Disclaimer: IMHO a=b

Having said that, here's my top ten list:

1. Invading Iraq (a no-brainier)
2. Killing tens of thousands of innocent people (including almost 1000 US soldiers)
3. Starting the biggest terrorist-recruitment drive in history (Lucifer, eat your hart out)
3. The tax-cuts (this nation is heading for a fall - BIG TIME)
5. Destroying US standings around the globe (Americans are simply not welcome any were - go figure)
6. Making innocent people suffer for political reasons (as in fucking over dirt-poor Cubans relying on money from relatives in the US)
7. see no. 6 (as in fucking over dirt-poor African women exposed to HIV/AIDS because some third party NGOS gives them advise on family planning and abortion)
8. see no. 6 (as in fucking over sound science claiming global warming is a commie ploy)
8. see no. 6 (as in fucking over entire states just so his cronies could earn some slimy bucks on energy de-regulation)
9. see no. 6 (as in fucking over any honest, hard working elected officials who happened to disagree with him)
10. Flipping the bird to ordinary folks (24/7)

His biggest accomplishment; being the most hated man alive

[bearfan454]

9. Cut funding to disadvantaged kids.

Also cutting VA benefits.

[TrogL]

11. cutting international funding on AIDS

for organizations that don't support abstinence only

12. cutting international funding on AIDS

for organizations that don't support abstinence only

[devinsgram]

13. There isn't enough time in the world

to list everything, but if I must, personally I think everything he's said or done from day one.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. Lying to the people of NY after 9/11 that the air was safe on Wall St.

When he knew it wasn't - just so the wealthy could manage to keep their investment accounts healthy.

[onecitizen]

15. He killed 19,000 innocent.......

Iraqis and 976 brave American men and women for starters.

AND duping the old folks about their medicines!

[number6]

16. tried to speak English

he's butchered it ...

[BootinUp]

17. slimed Kerry's war record

[Connie_Corleone]

18. He showed up for work

n/t

[number6]

19. ditto

;)

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. Well he showed up

Not sure about the "work" part.

[OHswingvoter]

20. dropping his own dog on

its dammed head is a pretty good indication he is an a-hole. If a man treats his own dog that way he is a worthless jerk.

[Geo55]

21. using his position to

spread human misery.

[Cha]

22. One word..

Iraq!

[lostnfound]

23. Restored torturing thugs to power in Haiti, to rule over former victims.

That's the cruelest.
Think about it: a former slave colony fights for its freedom; suffers under horrible torture tactics of FRAPH; yet finally throws them off and has a democracy.

What does Bush do? Put the torturers back into power. What of the brave people who were witnesses and accusers against the Latortues and Chamblains of FRAPH? What's happening to them now?

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

24. The stupidest thing

was to run for president at all. This is a democracy, not a monarchy. An unqualified and obviously uninterested person has no business running for president just because of his name and the fact that his father was president.

The cruelest thing was Iraq and the worst consequences might be from his unilateral, pre-emptive war action. How do we know other countries won't do the same thing now?

[AmerDem]

25. He destroyed the very fabric and integrity

our country was known for. We are now seen world wide as the second coming of the Nazi empire.

I still sit back shaking my head saying, "I can't believe what has happened to us"!

[Cheswick2.0]

26. Selection 2000

everything else is epilogue.

[Norquist Nemesis]

27. Took the oath of office.

Covers both a and b

[The Flaming Red Head]

28. Shock and Awe

was disgusting and mean.

[Jacobin]

29. IraqNam.....

Just ask the Iraqis.

[LisaL]

31. How about declaring he will send people to Mars?

That sure was a doozy.
