Don't forget the $400 billion to 'Pearl Harbor' a nation that was not even a threat to any of its adjacent neighbors. Then when this president wanted Europe to help pay for rebuilding of Iraq, they asked, "how much?" $20+ billion. That was more than all aid to most of Africa. $20 billion for an oil rich nation? Somehow the president never understands anything except spend, spend, spend, .... on projects to the greater glory of his religion. It's a new budget entry. Faith based contributions.

Meanwhile is it $10 or $20 billion to rebuild Iraq's electric grid. The grid that now outputs less electricity then ever - less than when Saddam ran it in 1990. Of course. The boss is an MBA. Like GM and AT&T, costs increase when an MBA is the boss.

911 Commission gave this president a D- on port security. Still that means nothing. Security (like reading his PDBs) is not relevant to his religious and political agendas. Security, like reading, is a 'dirty' detail. This president doesn't get bogged down in such details.

To find a president this bad - hands down - we must go back to Nixon. No cellar dweller has ever read so many criticisms from me of any other politician. Even Sharon never earned such negative comments. None have been as bad and as corrupt as George Bush, Jr. George Jr will probably be the most corrupt president in my lifetime. This from someone who has no political affiliation or love of either party.
