Lonely and lame, Bush agonises over legacy (Barf Alert!!!)
The Guardian ^ | July 7, 2007 | Ewen MacAskill

· President avoids limelight after Libby backlash
· Republican ally withdraws support over Iraq

President George Bush turned 61 yesterday but he had little to celebrate at the end of a week in which his isolation has been exposed as never before.

Laura Bush held an early family party for him on Wednesday, to which a few professional golfers were also invited, and on Thursday the president made a rare outing to watch a baseball game. But these few birthday celebrations apart, it has been a relentless week for the US president.

What a load of bravo sierra.

Bush’s legacy will be that he saved the USA from a lot of foxes and wolves pulling at our tendons.

I won’t even bother reading it...the fact is, for better or wrose, this President is not concerned with what people say or think about him....more power to him...

The history books won't list trivialities such as "Libby backlash" as part of Bush's legacy. On a positive note, he has saved us from further terror so far. On a negative note, he hasn't secured the borders. So the Bush legacy is still not yet written.

One thing I'm sure of, it will be impossible to make the "Bush lied" and "culture of corruption" mantras stick to this man when all is said and done.

And they won't find any interns under the desk.

I won’t read it either, because it’s from the Guardian. If Bush single-handedly cured cancer they would accuse him of medical malfeasance...it’s a leftist rag

Legacy = Islamic Republics of Afghanistan and Irak. That’s gotta make his Born Again self proud.

It's quite an image, the Pres of the US isolated. Who on earth has more contact with humanity every day with this and that? Maybe the Pope.

Part of his legacy will be the open promotion of communism from the White House.

The Bush legacy is far more noteworthy than the Clintoons. The Clintoon legacy has yet to be exposed because of the hands-off policy of the MSM. Tubba and Bubba have a long list of “dead” associates and the jury is waiting to hear about their dirty deeds yet to be exposed. BJ’s in the White House are but one small fraction of their legacy. Hitlery is evil through and through and her skeletons have been hidden well. Since the MSM refuses to expose the Clintoon dirty laundry, we will have to wait for someone brave enough to expose it.

If there was nothing else ... we got a Supreme Court ... with maybe another.

THAT, in itself, could turn America into Americanism again.

Bush's legacy is alive and well, I'm afraid...

...Only to hand the USA to "foxes", and wolves in sheep's clothing from south of the Rio Grande.

No it won't - Bush's legacy is will be one of failure.

With the word's most powerful military at his disposal President Bush failed to capture Osama Bin Laden.

That is what Bush will be remembered for.

“Bush’s legacy will be that he saved the USA from a lot of foxes and wolves pulling at our tendons”

Saved us from foxes and wolves and turned us over to los zorros y los lobos.

Bush threw away a popular mandate from conservative Americans, indepenents and grass roots Republicans. The damage he has done to the Republican Party and America, will, like the “good” in Caesar’s life, outlive him.

You know, Bush has never struck me as the type who is concerned at all about a legacy. He seems like the type who just plugs away and leaves it up to God.

It's not just the MSM that is giving them cover, they are also under the protective cloak of the Bush family.

Sad to say, I have to agree that his record is one of missing the mark. There were no end of opportunities to take advantage of, but he didn’t. And I would like to know why?
