I blame Bush for everything he is responsible for:
1. the failure to prevent 9-11.
2. the stupid 2003 tax-cuts.
3. The invasion of Iraq & Afghanistan.
4. allowing Big Oil to author our environmental policy.
5. letting the Housing Bubble-burst the way it did.
6. more to come...
your ignorance and total lack of ability to recognize or comprehend hyperbole is duely noted. thanks for playing
How about at the very least, in response to a PDB reporting of suspicious activity of terrorists involving hijackings, he had airport security increased until the threat passed?Now I want you to tell me how Bush could have stopped this after being president for 8 months?
Liberals have been complaining about the moderate Obama not ending the Bush wars quick enough, and I am one of them. Its why I agree with Ralph Nader in hoping that several liberals will run against Obama in a primary.
Sorry, but approximately 3/4 of the debt was created by Republican presidents. Reagan tripled the debt and Bush 41 doubled it.

how about you enlighten me then? what do YOU blame Bush for?
what anti-terror work? you mean allowing the February 26, 1993, bombing of the World Trade Center,...
I gladly await to see your evidence that President Clinton "allowed" the first WTC bombing.
oh, my bad. I forgot you love to play nit-pick semantics games when you have no real arguement. Clinton "failed to prevent" the first WTC bombing et al ....
accusing a President of allowing a major terror attack upon the American people, is a vicious conspiracy theory demanding damn good evidence.
accusing the President of failing to prevent a major terror attack upon the American people, is very different.
I'm glad you finally comprehend the difference.
..by "failing to prevent" you "allow" it to happen
"allowing" suggests intent. "failing to prevent" suggests nothing regarding intent.
let us know when you understand this simple concept.
when your job is to prevent and you fail, you have allowed it to happen via your incompetance. intent has nothing to do with it.
Incompetence is not the only explanation for failure. :roll:when your job is to prevent and you fail, you have allowed it to happen via your incompetance. intent has nothing to do with it.

another distraction from your own failed arguments. what a surprise.tell that to the bush bashers. funny how the panties twist when the shoe is on the other foot.
hypocrisy...what a concept

Or negligence, which seems more appropriate in this case.
The 1993 attack on the World Trade Center is particularly damning—not that the Clinton administration was negligent in “allowing it to happen”, but that the Clinton administration was grotesquely negligent in ignoring the warning that it represented and in failing to act on that warning in such a manner as to prepare us for further attacks of that sort.
If not for Clinton's negligence and misfeasance, the 9/11 attacks would probably have been prevented.
another distraction from your own failed arguments. what a surprise.
the biggest problem is the frequency with which it happened. after the 1st WTC bombing, Clinton should have done something to prevent future attacks, by not doing so, he ALLOWED all the subsequent acts to occur.
