History will treat you kind, Mr President. Your detractors will fade from memory.

Mainly because his class interests will write history.

Thank you for liberating Afghanistan.

After your family and class interests ruined that country and its citizenry in the name of fighting the Red menace.

Thank you for standing strong in Iraq, when others wanted to surrender.

After your father and class interests supported the dictatorial regime when they all thought Saddam would be a good boy and play ball with the oil cartels.

How quickly we all scrub class interest out of our collective history.
Thank you for putting a dictator on trial for war crimes and receiving the final justice he deserves.

Thank you for not treating the White House as a brothel.

Clinton had far worse crimes than getting a blow job in office.

Thank you for putting the fear into Libya so that they gave up they nuclear weapons program.

Thank you for standing up to North Korea.

Got nothing on these, one less nuke is one less explosion.

Thank you for doing actually something about Al Qaida other than firing missiles that take so long to get there the camps are empty by the time the missiles hit.

Dont forget to thank him and his dad for funding death squads, mercenaries, and fascist regimes world wide in the name of Corporate Capitalism. After all Al-Qaida and the Taliban were right wing reactionary forces created to crush a red revolution forming in the ME. A right wing reactionary force with direct funding and support from many Western Nations, including yours.

Thank you Mr President for working hard to get the economy going after 9/11.

And then promptly privatizing as much as possible, while selling out the American Working Class to business interests.

Thank you for standing up for tax cuts.

For the rich. You forgot that part.

lets not forget bushes plea's with China and Japan while he was trying to make his first tax cut

Thank you for trying to make this country energy independent.

By doing what? Invading a country and opening its state owned oil operations to big business?

Thank you for trying to combat AIDS in Africa.

President Bush is doing a barnstorming tour of Africa to call attention to his administration's commitment to addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic on the continent.

One problem: He's simultaneously trying to impose on African countries enhanced patent protections that would undermine their ability to gain access to affordable medicines.

(Actually, there are lots of problems -- denial of debt relief, water privatization, insistence on the failed IMF "structural adjustment model," and much more -- but those are topics for another day.)

...

Bush's AIDS initiative recognizes the imperative of treatment for people with HIV/AIDS. Treatment is expensive, but massive savings are available through use of generic medicines and reaping the benefits of generic competition. Indeed, it will not be practicable for poor countries to provide treatment, or for donors to support treatment efforts, unless lower-priced medicines -- only obtainable through generic competition -- are used.

...

The Bush administration has a simple choice: Heed their paymasters in the brand-name pharmaceutical industry, or deliver on their commitment to provide treatment to two million people with HIV/AIDS. They can't do both.

Georgie and the AIDS

Gee I wonder what the US administration is going to do, stand by the words of GWB and provide Africa with the aide it needs, or support patent monopoly control of necessary medicines, allowing big pharma to reap massive profits at the expense of millions of poor African citizens?

Of course if thats not enough for you:

Thank you for trying to give the people who empty our trash and pick our vegetables some dignity, although I disagree with you about Amnesty.

While allowing them to be exploited by business big and small who are looking for a pool of cheap and un-organized labour. By the way, that pool of cheap labour helps to depress living wages of the middle and poor classes of US society.

Thank you for appointing justices to Supreme Court who believe in the US Constitution.

Ya, im glad they held up the second amendment.

really, i am.

Thank you for trying to protect us against an enemy who wants to harm us while others would let it happen for political reasons.

Nice attempt at a subtle political snipe. I agree, there are people out in this world that mean to do harm to Westerners, but firebombing two countries didn't solve anything, it just opened a different front.

Thank you for standing up for the unborn.

And crushing a womens right to choose.

This whole issue of abortion is funny really. For YEARS conservatives had the opposite position on abortion. Hell Regan signed the MOST LIBERAL abortion bill in the world while he was governor of California, and HIS daughter had an abortion and it didn't bother him one bit. So what happened? Crass Political Opportunism happened. Suddenly, reactionary and conservative forces realized how divisive the issue of abortion really was. They realized they could get religious democrats by the balls and take their vote by screaming about gods will and the rights of the fetus. Hell wasn't it Richard Vigory who said something to the effect of "Is she [Sandra Day O'Connor] soft on abortion? We cannot give up this issue, this issue helped us split the democrats"

They don't care about the fetus, they care about their own class and political interests. (this of course goes for both parties)

Thank you for resisting the pseudo science of global warming.

I dont even follow global warming to the extent others do, but to suggest that our environment is doing fine and to do nothing about the serious issues facing us today (air pollution, water pollution, mono-cultured crops, etc) is just stupid.

Thank you for your humility in office Mr President.

Was he showing that when he was off golfing?

Thank you for your love of country and the love of the men and women who protect this country.

yes thank you for showing you care so much about them by cutting funding to the VA and opposing paid education for returning vets among other cold things.

It all started when George Bush needed to cut $85 billion in 2003 so he could make his second tax cut possible. The cut to future funding for vets came while Americans were holding rallies with the cry to "Support Our Troops". Even then I asked how we were to support our troops in war when we won’t support them after the war?
The House of Representatives voted to cut funding for veteran's health care and benefit programs $85 billion over the next ten years. It narrowly passed by a vote of 215 to 212, and came just a day after Congress passed a resolution to "Support Our Troops."

Was it hypocrisy? You bet it was. Bush and his crony Congress voted to support our troops but the very next day left current and future veterans without access to health care and compensation. Now, once more and only two years later, veterans are faced with the issue of at least tens of thousands of us with non-critical medical issues who may suffer delayed or even denied care in coming years just so Bush can live up to his promise of cutting the deficit in half.

Thank you, Mr President.

For being another right wing reactionary crushing the middle and lower classes in order to uplift your own.
