"I can make things worse, I know I can. Think man, think. There must be something I can do to make people hate me even more."

Is it just me, or does Bush appear to be on a one-man quest to destroy our country and the planet?

[alvdh1]

May history treat this man with disdain for ravaging and plundering the planet for profit. The Buchanan heirs will at least be able to move up a notch in respect when he retires in shame. Obama needs to make sure the world knows what this thug has done on his watch.

He just went to the people to get their votes and forgot about them when he got into office.

This guy is a hard nosed tough greedy corporatist. Funny how we are in this severe recession and there are people still defending him here.

The photo of bush needs a comic book dialogue baloon saying "I'll show those liberal @#$%#?! s" - that's what his facial expression looks like he's thinking.

This is the same man who said two days ago that he is pleased with the outcome of the Iraq war....Of course he is !! It has proven to be a great instrument for the concentration of wealth to the top 6 % of the population....I pray that these thugs will face a day of reckoning !!!!!!!

Take a look at that list:

Naked Conservatism displayed for all to see.

Gee, it was OK when Bill Clinton did this before leaving office. Double Standard at play here?

[1Proudmama]

It was OKAY b/c Clinton was trying to protect the environment and strengthen lead standards. he wanted things like ... clean air and protections for workers who have take care of sick relatives. As a mother, I find Bush's regulations sick. This is complete facism where corporations mean more than people. Where is the Christianity in that?

[breezyholler]

Tell me this Photofarm.....do you truly believe that we fared better, as a nation, with Bush than we did with Clinton?....if so ...examples please!

[Bearangaria]

This man is a vengeful, destructive, narcissistic, miscreant.

[Phytoresearcher]

I guess he has not done enough damage already.

[LaoTsu]

Publicity for this everywhere. Make sure the Republicans have this hung around their necks.

[darthdarcy]

Bush is an environmental criminal...

[breezyholler]

Bush is a criminal on many levels...and it will be up to WE THE PEOPLE ..to demand justice...we need to overwhelm the politicians with the power of the people's voices...It is our responsibility !!!

[newsbusturd]

as usual bush is trying to slip the rules by the american people!
