Good riddance. Respect is something you earn, not inherit. This President has failed to earn in so many ways its hard to count.

Bush is an excellent campaign tool for the DEMOCRATS. Mike Dewine was a fool for being seen with him. Why would any politician want to be connected to:

-immoral and disastrous Bush's (Iraq) War.
-ineptitude with Katrina.
-failure to heed warnings on 911.
-staggering deficit
-rampant corruption and cronyism (Abramoff, Ney,...)
-9 BILLION $ missing from Iraq
-failure to supply adequate body armor to the military
-increase in poverty rate
-disinegration of infrastructure
-trambling of the constitution
-outing CIA asset for political reasons(Plame + Brewster Jenning cover)
-spying on Americans for political revenge
-Worsening global warming
-no oversight of congress
-weakening of environmental standards

COMPLETE FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP!

While the Chavez remarks may have been a bit over the top, why would any *thinking* person not prefer CitGo -- which uses no mideastern oil, other criticisms notwithstanding.

I wonder if folks filling up the SUV think about their purchase supporting terrorists.

Carl, when President Clinton comes to town to campaign for John Cranley in October, will you be covering his arrival, drive through town, remarks and departure at all, let alone with the wet-panties tone you provided us with for Bush's ‘visit’? We all know the answer is ‘no’.

What happened Carl? Did you get all caught up in the excitement of being in the motorcade Carl? Did it make you feel like a real big-city reporter? Is that your excuse for this hammy, unprofessional coverage? You are a complete hack Carl and you owe your readers an apology.

But Andy, you spread lies: " Clinton, a man who employed a prositute" and comment that we don't "like Bush". What is there to like in the multitude of failures and fiascos that he has brought to this country/world. Name just ONE accomplishment to his credit.

Here is a list of why we abhor his policies:

-immoral and disastrous Bush's (Iraq) War.
-ineptitude with Katrina.
-failure to heed warnings on 911.
-staggering deficit
-rampant corruption and cronyism (Abramoff, Ney,...)
-9 BILLION $ missing from Iraq
-failure to supply adequate body armor to the military
-increase in poverty rate
-disinegration of infrastructure
-trambling of the constitution
-outing CIA asset for political reasons(Plame + Brewster Jenning cover)
-spying on Americans for political revenge
-Worsening global warming
-no oversight of congress
-weakening of environmental standards

COMPLETE FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP!

You want solutions to Bush's failures?

1. Out of Iraq
2. Restore taxes to the levels during Clinton (remember the days of surplus + functioning administrations?)
3. reinstitute diplomacy and re-hire the multitude of seasoned employees who fled under Bush.
4. End our dependence on oil through alternative fuels quickly.
5. Give incentives to high mileage vehicles and place taxes on gas guzzlers.
6. Institute a Marshall Plan for New Orleans.
7. Institute public financed campaigns to get big $ out of influence.
8. Verified hand counted paper ballots, counted at the precinct level with full public witness.

theres a couple to start with!

We assess that the Iraq jihad is shaping a new generation of terrorist leaders and operatives; perceived jihadist success there would inspire more fighters to continue the struggle elsewhere.

The Iraq conflict has become the “cause celebre” for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement. Should jihadists leaving Iraq perceive themselves, and be perceived, to have failed, we judge fewer fighters will be inspired to carry on the fight.

Four underlying factors are fueling the spread of the jihadist movement: (1) Entrenched grievances, such as corruption, injustice, and fear of Western domination, leading to anger, humiliation, and a sense of powerlessness; (2) the Iraq “jihad;” (3) the slow pace of real and sustained economic, social, and political reforms in many Muslim majority nations; and (4) pervasive anti-US sentiment among most Muslims—all of which jihadists exploit.

Al-Qa’ida, now merged with Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi’s network, is exploiting the
situation in Iraq to attract new recruits and donors and to maintain its leadership role.

Fighters with experience in Iraq are a potential source of leadership for jihadists pursuing these tactics.

The increased role of Iraqis in managing the operations of al-Qa’ida in Iraq might
lead veteran foreign jihadists to focus their efforts on external operations.

Feel safer? Not for a generation.

The broad judgments of the new intelligence estimate are consistent with assessments of global terrorist threats by American allies and independent terrorism experts.

The panel investigating the London terrorist bombings of July 2005 reported in May that the leaders of Britain's domestic and international intelligence services, MI5 and MI6, "emphasized to the committee the growing scale of the Islamist terrorist threat."

More recently, the Council on Global Terrorism, an independent research group of respected terrorism experts, assigned a grade of "D+" to United States efforts over the past five years to combat Islamic extremism. The council concluded that "there is every sign that radicalization in the Muslim world is spreading rather than shrinking."

More bad news on the fiscal front, attributable to miltary spending and tax cuts.

U.S. Warned on War Spending and Deficits
Emad Mekay

WASHINGTON, Sep 26 (IPS) - One of the world's most exclusive business clubs warned the United States Tuesday that its open-ended national security and war expenditures, along with tax cuts that led to large budget deficits, could affect the country's status as a powerful economic force.

The Geneva-based World Economic Forum issued its 2006-07 Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) rankings and listed the United States in sixth place, down from the top spot, behind Switzerland, Finland and Sweden and just ahead of Japan.

The top 10 countries are all rich industrialised nations. They are Switzerland, Finland Sweden, Denmark, Singapore, the United States, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and Britain.

The report says that with potentially even higher spending commitments in defence and homeland security, which comes with the U.S. war on terror and ongoing plans to lower taxes further, the U.S. faces difficult fiscal balancing.

"With a low savings rate, record-high current account deficits and a worsening of the U.S.'s net debtor position, there is a non-negligible risk to both the country's overall competitiveness and, given the relative size of the U.S. economy, the future of the global economy," said Augusto Lopez-Claros, chief economist of the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Network.

Could someone please remind me what Republicans are supposedly good for?
