The Bushtanic Has Finally Sunk |
 |
Housing secretary Alphonso R. Jackson resigned today.
For those of you keeping score at home, Jackson’s resignation marks the departure of the very last of the Bush loyalists George brought with him up from Texas to run his new administration in 2000:
After Karen Hughes resigned in October, Jackson was the only one of Bush’s inner circle still working at the White House. The rest had left and had been steadily replaced by Washington insiders, capping Bush’s transformation from aggressive Texas outsider to lame-duck President. And like the rest, Jackson resigned in disgrace:
In recent weeks, Mr. Jackson had faced mounting pressure to leave his post. The FBI has interviewed several of his employees, and two senior Democratic senators called on him to resign, saying the allegations of wrongdoing had undermined his leadership. Lawmakers have also raised concerns about accusations that Mr. Jackson had threatened to withdraw federal aid from the Philadelphia Housing Authority after its president refused to turn over a $2 million property to a politically connected developer.
For me, this resignation marks the final end to Bush’s sinking ship of a presidency. All the loyalists he brought up from Texas - from Karl Rove to Alberto Gonzales to Karen Hughes - have left Washington discredited. Bush’s closest allies have fled his Presidency like rats, every last one of them.
I say good riddance.
Resigned only? They should all be prosecuted for treason against the USA.
This has been a tragically terrible presidency. I’m not sure I’d call it the worst (Buchanan, Hoover were both pretty bad), but it’s certainly down there.
Good riddance is right.
Mr VanBogaert: Presidents Buchanan and Hoover did not wreck this country’s military, worldwide respect and admiration, and its economy to anywhere near the extent that President George W Bush has accomplished. He in fact is this country’s worst president to date, no question, no doubt.
I’d have to say that Buchanan or Hoover did not have the kind of staff and information that todays president has. Bush and hopefully every president after him will have all the tools to be wonderful leaders, it’s all a question of doing what is right. Bush certainly had the tools to do a lot of good when he first stepped into office, but he used all those tools to make his friends rich and the world hate us and our way of life.
a Bushie through and through…what a pathetic presidency this has been
Lietanic, surely.
In case you haven’t noticed - ALL of or politicians SUCK ASS! No matter which side of the fence you are on, be you conservative, liberal or whatever, THE ALL SUCK ASS! I’m not even going to vote this time around because ALL OF THE CANDIDATES SUCK ASS! All of them! You cant trust Hillary, Barak is affiliated with a marxist “Black Liberation Theology” church, and McCain doesn’t stand for anything worth a damn on the conservative side either. Its all a mess. You think Bush was bad? LOL! You just wait to see what things are like 4 years from now! You look back at the Bush Presidency and wish for the “good ol’ days!” lol
