THE NAME OF GEORGE W.BUSH IS NOW FOREVER IDENTIFIED WITH GLOBAL FINANCIAL CHAOS
America, America, may God shed the light of justice on thee.
There is a stark scripture, "Be sure your sins will find you out."
We as a citizenry have looked the other way for so long as CEO’s and corporations delivered to us huge returns on our investments. Did we actually care if they indulged themselves, gouged their stockholders for millions in outragious salaries, perks, and bonuses? No. The CEO’s got theirs and for a long period we got ours. We chose to ignore the obvious, the system was corrupt and corruptible. The habits of such corporations were unsustainable. Deep in our moral consciences we always knew this! There would be a day of judgment on such greed and fraud. That day is here.
May God now have mercy on America.

Hoover is a name forever etched with the stain of the Great Depression. Bush will be the family name forever branded with the shame and the blame for the melt down of the economies of the entire world. Many of us knew, right from the start, that we had allowed a man to be elected to the presidency who was a wasted mind, a dilettante, a frat brother of legacy and wealth guaranteed privilege, and we are all taken down by George W. Bush.
Bush, the warmonger, who took us into a stupendously expensive, internationally condemned and unending war of choice against Iraq, has failed in a spectacularly shameful manner. Bush has spent nearly 8 years in a bubble, cut off from real questions, real response and personally accountability through the management of news and the tight control of many actions and procedures made "classified" and labeled "secret."
We all intuitively knew George W. Bush lacked the gravitas and probity to be our chief executive and commander-in-chief. In large measure the Neo-Cons, who spoon fed Bush with their notions of preemptive strikes, and the nobility of benevolent imperialism, are the tainted puppeteers who moved the non-perceptive Bush into this morass.
On a spiritual and moral level, the blame for the Bush failures--such important issues as torture, the confiscation of personal rights and freedoms under the Patriot Act and other executive orders, signing statements, and nefarious schemes--lies squarely on the heads of the hard right religionists--without whom Bush would not have been elected, sustained, and re-elected. The ability of this religious cadre to rally support for Bush was because "he is one of us," that is a born againer with socially conservative values held by the group. The codependency of Bush and the "so-called Christian Coalition" has taken the country down.
Those straight thinking, morals observant ordinary folk--who are led about by sectarian pastors and Christian operators like "Pat" Robertson, James Dobson, and Ralph Reed--have had their real issues, their savings, and their futures betrayed, sold off, for a bowl of cold partisan pap. That betrayal, that deception and duplicity, will be answered on the day of judgment.
For Robertson and Dobson there has been a rich harvest of personal power, wealth connected with products and publications, and national influence. They’ve been richly rewarded for their efforts; their faithful followers, their flocks like sheep, have been close sheared and nicked by their greed and self-serving. Now it is too late.
The great shame of the Bush era is now irreversibly connected with global economic meltdown, with the undermining of our constitution and precious Bill of Rights, and the perpetration of illegal war and war crimes.
The enduring shame that attached to Hoover for the Great Depression is now eclipsed by the attached far greater blame and shame of the legacy of George W. Bush, a man of limited ability who wasted his prime years, ignorant of the world and of the workings of national affairs, yet presumed to become the leader of the world with such insufficient and deficient qualifications and character flaws. This one man, George W. Bush, a dilettante and a slacker for decades, has now taken the U.S. and the entire world down to ruin and shame.
