Godspeed to GW
 

What a bittersweet moment it was watching GW and crew lift off for
Texas. I wanted to savor the moment but couldn't wait for his
departure.

The King is dead, long live the President.

We have not seen such class in a departing President for many years. If
I remember right clinton did not even attend the event. President Bush
lead and made his decisions from the facts, and did the right thing;
which was not always what his detractors wanted.

He got blamed for many things, one of the most outrageous was when the
officials in Louisiana would not request federal assistance until it was
to late. Because of State's Rights issues President Bush could not
respond and was blamed for not responding fast enough. However the US
Coast Guard was there before the winds died down rescuing people from
the storm.

I hope that obama gets a spine before it is to late and tries to
measures up to President Bush. It would be a pity if the first black
man to be President turns out to be a total failure and pushes this
country into another 8 years of depression as the democrats did in the
1930's

Using Bush as an example would be disastrous.

Cut taxes for the wealthy while ignoring the real driver of the
economy, the middle class.

Launching a war against an enemy that wasn't a threat. Close to 5,000
of our military dead and hundreds of billions of our tax revenues
wasted.

Gutting whatever clean air and water regulations could benefit
corporate interests.

How you could possibly think of Bush as someone to look up to is
certainly beyond me. You have to be living in a special reality, like
he did.

The CEO of my company employs 45,000 people.

Wasting money on "green" energy is the perfect example of stupidity of

A man twice elected governor of Texas and twice elected President of the
country sure as hell puts you in the what have you done category.

Yup, and Bush was very helpful in the transition according to the
incoming administration, unlike Clinton and his aids who were more
interested in pardoning huge campaign contributors, steeling the
silver ware, and destroying tens of thousands of dollars worth of
equipment and defacing the whitehouse.. Even the San Fransisco
Chronicle agreed with the pardons Bush did in the end. Bush is class,
hopefully Obama can keep Pelosi, Reid, and the rest on track... I
doubt it though, I say over in an over under bet on how many useless
investigations the congress will take up, the base number is 200. I
mean, with over 200 investigations in the last two years alone and
nothing else much done, it's almost a given...- Hide quoted text -

While I don't care for Bush and his tactics, etc. I will say he went
out with grace and dignity. And Obama came in with the same. It was a
nice transition, and both did their share to make it so.

I would offer this:

One thing that occurred to me today while watching all the inauguration
activities was that it would have been a perfect day and timing for a
terrorist attack. Virtually everybody who would have a responsibility to
respond were tied up in activities. It would be chaotic.

I think thanks can be given for the fact that it didn't occur to the
departed cowboy from Texas.

Eisboch

You don't think the both administrations were keenly aware of that
potential? I do.

Bush did more to destroy the foundations of this country than
terrorists could hope to.

Torture
Bankruptcy
Ethical lapses of all sorts

Sure doesn't eclipse the blow job tho'.

Bush did fund aids prevention in Africa, the one thing I can credit
him for that I agreed with.

Until you mentioned Bush's work towards the prevention of AIDS in Africa, I
thought you were talking about the Democrat run Congress.

Torture -- Nancy Pelosi on TV
Bankruptcy -- Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, etc.
Ethical lapses of all sorts -- William Jefferson, Harry Reid, etc.

Real tortu Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld

Real lapses of ethic: Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, Rove, Wolfowitz, Pearle,
Craig, Vitter, Feith, Libby, Meiers, Foley, Goodling and a host of

That's just off the top of my head.

This, like the rest of your responses, is a non-sequitur. The fact
that CEOs earn 700 times, on average, of the mean salary of the rest
of the company is obscene.

Why is it obscene to pay someone a nice sum of money for running a
profitable business that employs 45,000 people?

The CEO of my compahy employs 5000 times as many people as I do. He
would like to earn 5000 times my salary. He only earns 192 times my
salary and he deserves every penny.

A game of egos played by an elite cadre of peers. Greed at its worst.

And to think any of what they earn will trickle down to affect the
economy is stupid. It's been proven wrong time and time again and yet
it's celebrated by fools like you who think he's blessed to have the
gilt of funding bailouts for billionaires.

He probably stuffs all of his money in his mattress at home. Freaking

Good point. He also transported pallets of $100 bills. My nephew
said they didn't count it when handing it out, they weighed it.

Those were my hard earned tax dollars at work. Buying Iraqi
cooperation or refunding them for the value of their family member's
lives.

Let's not forget how much fuel we've purchased over their to keep
those humvess and transports on the road. I'm sure Halliburton made a
pretty penny off each litre. I'm sure a percentage of our fuel
purchases went to fund terrorism, the mid-eastern version of unicef

Bush tranported the victims to them to save them fuel.

Good point. *He also transported pallets of $100 bills. *My nephew
said they didn't count it when handing it out, they weighed it.

Those were my hard earned tax dollars at work. *Buying Iraqi
cooperation or refunding them for the value of their family member's

Let's not forget how much fuel we've purchased over their to keep
those humvess and transports on the road. *I'm sure Halliburton made a
pretty penny off each litre. *I'm sure a percentage of our fuel
purchases went to fund terrorism, the mid-eastern version of *unicef
or Ronald McDonald house.

They are the only company in the world that does what they do under

Nope. They weren't already deployed when Bush/Cheney hired them. In
Clinton's case, they were already there.
And your last statement is not true, either.

There's several tens of defense contractors that do the same exact
thing as Halliburton. There are some in Iraq as we speak.
Halliburton, in it's own vision statement says it provides energy
services, energy equipment, engineering, construction, and
maintenance. Period.

"Today's decision by the Army means the LogCap contract will be split-
up into three companies, reports the Post, with a fourth firm hired to
help monitor the performance of the other three. Halliburton will be
permitted to rebid on some of the new work. But last year, the
company's CEO, David Lesar, said: "If we do choose to rebid, we're
going to jack the margins up significantly," a threat that could prove
costly to taxpayers if Halliburton is allowed back into any LogCap
work."

Four companies?!!!

Godspeed to GW

Halliburton had built most of the stuff there. So they had the plans as
well as the expertise.
