How silly of me to respect the judgment of the only U.S. president to have
been elected to more than two terms by our nation's people,

Bush was wrong too, and he was re-elected by the American People.

Bush wasn't wrong; he was deceitful. Bush administration former CIA
director George Tenet claims, that:

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60mi...main3415.shtml
In the midst of the al Qaeda threat, Tenet says he was astonished
and mystified when the White House turned its aim to Iraq.

The truth of Iraq begins, according to Tenet, the day after the
attack of Sept. 11, when he ran into Pentagon advisor Richard
Perle at the White House.

"He said to me, 'Iraq has to pay a price for what happened
yesterday, they bear responsibility.' It’s September the 12th.
I’ve got the manifest with me that tell me al Qaeda did this.
Nothing in my head that says there is any Iraqi involvement in
this in any way shape or form and I remember thinking to myself,
as I'm about to go brief the president, 'What the hell is he
talking about?'" Tenet remembers.

"You said Iraq made no sense to you in that moment. Does it make
any sense to you today?" Pelley asks.

"In terms of complicity with 9/11, absolutely none," Tenet says.
"It never made any sense. We could never verify that there was any
Iraqi authority, direction and control, complicity with al Qaeda
for 9/11 or any operational act against America. Period."

"The president, in October of 2002, quote: 'We need to think about
Saddam Hussein using al Qaeda to do his dirty work.' Is that what
you're telling the president?" Pelley asks.

"Well, we didn't believe al Qaeda was gonna do Saddam Hussein's
dirty work," Tenet says.

"January '03, the president again, [said] quote: 'Imagine those 19
hijackers this time armed by Saddam Hussein.' Is that what you're
telling the president?" Pelley asks.

"No," Tenet says.

The vice president upped the ante, claiming Saddam had nuclear
weapons, when the CIA was saying he didn’t.

"What's happening here?" Pelley asks.

"Well, I don't know what's happening here," Tenet says. "The
intelligence community's judgment is 'He will not have a nuclear
weapon until the year 2007, 2009.'"

"That's not what the vice president's saying," Pelley remarks.

"Well, I can't explain it," Tenet says.

Tenet says he sometimes warned the White House its statements were
false, but he admits that he missed a big one in the 2003 State of
the Union address, when the president said, "The British
government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought
significant quantities of uranium from Africa."


Further, Bush was not re-elected; he was declared the winner of the
election by the Judicial branch of government. Bush is the only US
president that wasn't elected.

(A few months before the election, his brother, the governor of
Florida, employed a private firm to expunge that state's voter rolls
of felons. When asked to provide evidence to support the selection of
those expunged voters, that firm didn't, and it subsequently came to
light that less than 5% of those voters removed from Bush's brothers
state voting rolls had actually committed any crime, but they were 95%
registered Democrats. At least that's what was purported in the video

Unfortunately, Bush was able to mask his lies from the American
electorate until after being declared president. FDR served four
consecutive four-year terms. If he'd been caught lying, that wouldn't
have occurred.

To compare that duplicitous recovering alcoholic from Midland, Texas
with FDR is an affront to thinking people everywhere.

Brash humorist Bill Maher had this to say about our Commander And
Chief on the February 27, 2007 Tonight Show hosted by Jay Leno:

This man. I mean, come on. Let's get real... The science is in
on this question...

The people who were defending him were saying he was just
inarticulate, but 'inarticulate' doesn't explain foreign policy.
I mean, it's not that complicated.

The man is a rube. He is a dolt. He is a yokel on the world
stage, a Gilligan who cannot find his ass with two hands. He is a
vain halfwit, who interrupts one incoherent sentence with another
incoherent sentence. I hope I'm not piling on...

I'm just saying... Here's George Bush, the 'decider, deciding all
on his own, that this is a good idea. This was not a
recommendation from our commanders on the ground. This was not a
recommendation from the Iraq Study Group, as you know. It's not
supported by the American people. It's not supported by the Iraqi
people.

It's just President Charles-in-Charge, spitballin', thinkin'
outside the bun, and saying to himself, "Everybody else is wrong.
I alone know what the right answer is. I got everybody else's
recommendations. I, you know, I talk to the Big Guy, so I
know..." And even the Pope said he was wrong... This recovering
alcoholic from Midland, Texas, he cannot be wrong, at any point.


Bush is so bad, that:

Vermont Senate: Impeach Bush
By AP/ ROSS SNEYD
(MONTPELIER, Vt.) — Vermont senators voted Friday to call for the
impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney,
saying their actions have raised "serious questions of
constitutionality."

The non-binding resolution was approved 16-9 without debate — all
six Republicans in the chamber at the time and three Democrats
voted against it.

The resolution says Bush and Cheney's actions in the U.S. and
abroad, including in Iraq, "raise serious questions of
constitutionality, statutory legality, and abuse of the public
trust."

"I think it's going to have a tremendous political effect, a
tremendous political effect on public discourse about what to do
about this president," said James Leas, a vocal advocate of
withdrawing troops from Iraq and impeaching Bush and Cheney. ...

More than three dozen towns voted in favor of similar nonbinding
impeachment resolutions at their annual town meetings in March.
State lawmakers in Wisconsin and Washington have pushed for
similar resolutions.


And it's gathering momentum.

Ohio Congressman Rep. Dennis Kucinich filed articles of impeachment
against Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday April 24, 2007.

Bush wasn't wrong; he was deceitful.

He was wrong =and= deceitful. But he was elected to office. Twice.
After four years of study, half of America still couldn't answer a one
question true-false test.

FDR had his detractors too. You seem to worship him. Maybe he was
good, but I do not believe that anything he said was golden - that he
was incapable of being wrong.

It is possible that SSI morphed into something FDR did not envision.
(remember, the original SSI was that everybody's children would pay for
a tiny number of elderly retirees, in exchange for a promise). However,
in that case he was wrong for not envisioning the disaster it could
easily turn out to be.

FDR is certainly capable of being wrong.

Any of us are capable (with fifty years of hindsight FDR didn't have) of
seeing that.

There are many who feel his caving in to the soviets by allowing
Stalin to take control of so much of Europe was a bad decision.
That resulted in 50 years of oppression of eastern Europe (hundreds
of thousands got sent to the gulag) and we spent billions defending
western Eurpoe and fighting a cold war at home.

And all the people that warned FDR against it? What hindsight did they have?

You expect Bush to commit an impeachable offense?
