-Brought the country into one of the worst recessions in recent years
-Completely alienated all relations to foreign nations
-Invaded a country on false premises
-Invaded and made a regime change in a country, then left, and now the country is falling apart again

-Invasion into Iraq killed over 15000 iraqis
-Planned to build NEW nuclear weapons
-His entire information on weapons of mass destruction was from a few exiled Iraqis whose info turned out to be false
-"You're with us, or you're against us" idealization the most retarded thing a world leader has ever said
-Uses falsified propaganda to link Saddam to Al Qaeda
-Quoted during his campaign in 2000 "Our job as a nation is not to go around the world telling people what to do"
-Expresses everlasting gratitude to war veterans, then cuts their funding
-Bush told people at a food bank that we must do some good, then cut funding for the meals on wheels program
Bush closes women's offices in federal agencies and defunds programs
-Bush's tax cuts cut taxes for the rich only
-Bush appoints racially hostile Republicans to key civil rights positions

Bush did not start this war, he certainly was for the war, but he did not start it all by himself. It takes an act of congress to declare war.
WMD's, Biological weapons, nuclear weapons, whatever, doesn't matter Saddam killed thousands. A family friend of ours, a pastor , went to Iraq a few months ago to provide health and other volunteer services. He stayed in a hospital right next to a large parking lot. One the second to last day he was there the military was excavating that parking lot, under the concrete were buses side by side lined up 3 rows deep and 10 buses per row. Inside each bus were civilians packed inside and buried alive. Weapons, whatever, fuck it, the US put Saddam into power we made a mistake, it was the US's job to take him out of power.
Economic recession began due to a number of illegal tax evasions that when exposed were placed upon the government to fill By cutting program funding and cutting taxes Bush allows the people of America to keep more money, which promotes the spending of that extra money. For ever dollar that has been cut, that someone receives and spends the government makes back two. Double taxation, it's how the government was supposed to stay out of debt, but the programs for our well being, and wars have put us into debt.
An economic recession such as this one does not start over night, and it does not start because of one man, or even the president and congress (whom have to approve the president's budget) it is our fault as the people of the United States. When we have the least money is when ecnomically overall we need to spend it. Noone understands that, which is why the great depression happened. I digress, the points you have made again are either acts of congress or are not even the fault of this administration.
