Bush, the worse head of state since Adolf Hitler

Did you read my post, flytiger? You didn't address my point, but merely engaged in ad hominem. Given your poor start, I'm not very hopeful your next post will be worth responding to, but to spell it out for you again:
Bush initiated a war of aggression under false pretenses.
Robert H. Jackson (former US Attorney General and chief prosecutor at Nuremberg):
"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."
Given that Bush knew Iraq was no threat to the US - which he certainly did, though he would be entitled to offer a defense at The Hague - he was engaging in a war of aggression. The penalty under Nuremberg, rightly or wrongly, was to be hanged by the neck until dead.
And I've never watched msnbc in my life. Not once.

I don't think I've ever seen a thread where one could invoke Godwin's Law on the very first post.

Thanks for the heads up on Godwins Law. I was unaware.
This country was in a DEEP shit before reagan
Bill Clinton did leave the country in a recession.
First I am not an American so I am a little removed from the situation there(from Canada) and although I am certainly no fan of Bush I do not understand the level of animosity towards him. The reality of it is, Presidents love war, the feeling of power that comes from weilding the most powerful military force in the world appears to be intoxicating. There is US intervention from false pretext all over the globe that is result of the actions of every president since Washington. Clinton bombed Kosovo to deflect attention away from Monica so I find the Dem's self righteousness here a little amusing.
About the economy the President is a lot like a manager of a MLB team. Gets too much credit when the win too much blame when they lose. Alot of the trouble facing US right now stems from housing bubbble deflating and the fact the Joe Average consumer has dug himself into a fairly deep hole from the overuse of credit. How this is any Presidents fault I don't understand. If a large segment of any population decides uncoerced to borrow large sums of money at high rates of interest to buy cosumable items at some point you will have a problem. And it is not the Realtor, Mortgage Broker, Credit Card Company, Senator, President, Restraurant Owner, or SeaDo salemans fault that people are in financial trouble. They are all easy scapegoats but ultimately people are individually responsible for their financial state in North America and need to stop blaming anybody and everybody for their inability to say no.
