Bush and his reverse Midas touch... everything he touches turns to feces!
From Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, Midas or King Midas (in Greek Μίδας) is popularly remembered for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold: the Midas touch. In alchemy, the transmutation of an object into gold is known as chrysopoeia.
So I guess he has not shown chrysopoeia but fecespedia!

In a way, I hope that we don't expect miracles from Barack. Bush destroyed the peace and wealth of the entire world.

I know Barack is the right choice, but I want for us to be ready to help him, not expect him to solve this global debacle during the first month of his presidency.

1. Anyone remember the Hollies' song "King Midas In Reverse"?
If you could only see me
I know exactly where I am
You wouldn't want to be me
Oh, I can assure you of that
I'm not the guy to run with
'Cos I'll throw you off the line
I'll break you and destroy you
Given time.

He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse

It's plain to see it's hopeless
Going on the way we are
So even though I'd lose you
You'd be better off by far
He's not the man to hold your trust
Everything he touches turns to dust
In his hands
Nothing he can do is right
He'd even like to sleep at night
But he can't.

I wish someone would find me
And help me gain control
Before I lose my reason

And my soul
He's King Midas with a curse
He's King Midas in reverse
He's King Midas with a curse (all he touches turns to dust)
He's King Midas in reverse (all he touches turns to dust)

2. As long we're into Greek myths ....
President Obama will have the Aegean stables to clean. He can not do it overnight; it's a Herculean task. However, with our help and support, he can at least make a good start.

4. Bush's Value was revealing how things run.
Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 09:32 AM by StClone
Secret Shadow Government, a slack-jaw front (Bush himself) with Cheney running things, billions-for-buddies cronyism and lawless for the chosen with total disregard for science unless its designing a better means of subduing the populace, war, or way of filching wealth.
