ATLANTA (AP) -- In what appears to be an amazing success for American medicine, preliminary government figures released Wednesday showed that the annual number of deaths in the U.S. dropped by nearly 50,000 in 2004 - the biggest decline in nearly 70 years.



So since it happened on Bush's watch he DOES get credit doesn't he? How aboutit Dems, your position is that if it happens on the President's watch he either gets blame or credit.

Yeah, Bush is such a good doctor...

When I saw the title of the thread, you know "Bush" and "accomplishment" in the same sentence, I assumed it had something to do with mountain biking or maybe that he finally managed to get all the brush cleared off of his ranch down in Crawford.

You accidentally copied a couple of blank images. I removed them.

So this means you're willing to agree that Bush gets the blame for 9/11?

Hmmm, if I credit him, that means

1. Katrina was his fault
2. 9/11 was his fault
3. torturing was his fault
4. leaking plame was his fault
5. fires in so cal was his fault
6. global warming is his fault
7. jack abramoff was his fault
8. economic recession was his fault
9. illegal immigration is his fault
10. avian flu is his fault

Sure, if you want to put it that way.

First off, with the cluster %#$ mess that our country has become the past 6 years, do you really want to be poking that bear?

Secondly, unless Bush is responsible for a) the natural progression and decay of a human life or b) leading any form of a national physician association... he surely is not responsible for any mortality rate.

Sure he could be responsible. Don't you know that Bush is Supply Side Jesus's chosen one (not to be confused with Jesus Christ, the God of peace and love). Newsmax is reporting right now that the drop in the mortality rate can only be explained by Bush's secret domestic Faith Based Healing Program. Bush has been secretly working with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson on it. Thats why the two have had several private dinners at the Whitehouse with him. Anyway, as Newsmax is reporting, through the Domestic Wiretapping program, they have learned which Americans are in need of Spiritual Healing and have paid Bush "Mega-Pioneer Churches" who like Bush and Falwell, are devote worshipers of Supply Side Jesus (once again, not to be confused with Jesus Christ, the God of peace and love.), over 1 million dollars in Faith Based Healing Funds for every lost liberal soul they heal. Sure, its really making the deficit that much worse, but as the death rate is dropping, looks like its working.

But you have said these things all along, thus Stinger's thread.

 

[beyondtherim55008@yahoo.c]

And Bush will take the blame for the high gas prices also, immigration, the economy, education? LOL. BS :bs

I vote this thread as the illogical post of the week.

So this happened on his "watch" as you Dems so like to say, are you giving him credit for it?

 

[Stinger]

I didn't say I was giving him credit because it happened on his watch, the death rate that is. I'm asking Demorats. Do YOU blame hime for 9/11 because it happened on his watch? Do you therefore give him credit for the decline in the death rate?

The attempt to dodge the question is noted.

 

[Stinger]

Your dodge is noted.

It's a simple question, Democrats like to assign blame or credit simply because things happen on the Presidents "watch"

Well how about it.

 

[Captain America]

Pardon me, but this is rather childish. :roll:

 

[shuamort]

First thing that came to mind with the title "Another Bush Accomplishment":

"...and he can pull 'em off and on..."

Great minds think alike. My first thought was to google up a potty chair.

Thank you for making the OPs point so eloquently! The original post served to further the typical anti-Bush logic (the logic that dictates that you blame Bush and his administration for EVERYTHING). You should embrace it. If you don't, you risk mooting many of your previous arguments.:mrgreen:

Well how about it.

Not being proactive towards avoiding a national disaster (whether naturally induced or not) and being held responsible for that lack of execution is not the same as taking credit for the biological make up of a human being.

Besides, if he is responsible for the reduction in mortality – how was this accomplished? I’ll tell ya how…

Anyways, I know what you are arguing and technically my post doesnt address it in its current form. Sorry.

HMMMMMMMMNNNN? I have been pondering a thought (Sometimes I ponder two to three hours at a time, pondering is definately under rated).

This particular ponder is totally based in fantasy----a total "What if" if you will. What if 9/11 had not occurred on George's watch. Where would America be right now? Figuratively of course, I mean, would GW still be President?

What if, it turned out that what we have seen with George and his staff was always there to question as it relates to competence, but for "Patriotic consideration", they got away with a whole lot until just recently? What if it turned out that he (GW) really was a Mr. Potato Head? What if the Poltics of the situation (9/11) had not been there to use a a prop?

Arguably, the incompetence being shown right now would have noted long before 2004-----too bad the Troops, our Security, and our Moral History have been compromised because they were used to enhance a political platform designed to benefit only a few-----it will take a long time to repair the damage, and we better fix what's broken, the consequences for our nation's future, our kid's future, and the world depend on it.

Well the circus with ultra right wing nut heads dropping like flies wouldn't be going on. Though I believe the plame case would still be under investigation; we'd still be at war in Iraq.

Bush actually could take credit for something like this if he would fund stem cell research.

But it happened on his watch?

It happened on his watch didn't it, the Dems take the position that the person who is on watch is responsible.
