BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

"BUSH: ... You know, people said, ‘Well, the federal response was slow.' BUSH: Don't tell me the federal response was slow when there was 30,000 people pulled off roofs right after the storm passed." For once, during George Bush's 8 years in office, mainstream corporate media reported the facts, and the facts proved George Bush was culpably negligent, his ignorance and lack of support led directly to the death and destruction suffered in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina! The fact that people were still being housed in trailers that reeked of formaldehyde 3 years later proves that the federal response was slower than molasses in the dead of winter!!!!

When you have a looksee at what George Bush has done to the economy and the taxpayers in America, it makes Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme look like small potatoes in comparison!!!  “The Bush Era Has Been an Eight-Year-Long Madoff-Style Ripoff ... the $117 billion spent (as of mid-2008) on Iraq reconstruction — a sinkhole of corruption, cronyism, incompetence and outright theft that epitomized Bush management at home and abroad.  The source for this news was a near-final draft of an as-yet-unpublished 513-page federal history of this nation-building fiasco. The document was assembled by the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction — led by a Bush appointee, no less. It pinpoints, among other transgressions, a governmental Ponzi scheme concocted to bamboozle Americans into believing they were accruing steady dividends on their investment in a ‘new’ Iraq … The $50 billion also pales next to other sums that remain unaccounted for in the Bush era, from the $345 billion in lost tax revenue due to unpoliced offshore corporate tax havens to the far-from-transparent disposition of some $350 billion in Wall Street bailout money.”  So why is Madoff going to jail, while Bush is allowed to retire in luxury to Texas???

“... most people around the world, they respect America. And some of them doesn't like me –“   No typo here, Bush really said, “some of them doesn’t like me”.  Statements like this make one wonder, how in the world did George W. Bush get through Yale and Harvard????  Statements like this reinforce the theory that Poppy actually had to pay for his boy’s degree!!!

If ever you suspected that Cheney was delusional, now you know you are absolutely 100% correct!!!  In fact the guy is downright crazy!!!  “Cheney Tells Jim Lehrer Tonight: No Torture, Few Mistakes, Economy Not Our Fault.”  And just in case you needed more proof of the “crazies” --  “MR. LEHRER: Mr. Vice President … 4500 Americans have died, at least a hundred thousand Iraqis have died. Has it been worth that?  VICE PRES. CHENEY: I think so.”

As I watch and listen to these two, Bush/Cheney, trying to rewrite history in order to redeem themselves and blame someone else for the horrific, catastrophic, egregious mistakes they’ve made while poaching the offices of the presidency and the vice-presidency, I am struck with the arrogance, the audacity, and the plain downright egotism!  I am struck with the realization; they actually believe their own lies!

* * *

Try as they might to pass the blame for all the failures they’ve created on to Obama, it is well documented that George Bush and Dick Cheney are the parties responsible for the catastrophic mess in America!  Bush/Cheney have destroyed the American economy, they have destroyed the American world-wide reputation, George Bush is the worst president ever and Dick Cheney is the worst vice president ever!!!!!
