george bush took over a country that was doing great with huge financial surpluses and is destroying the place in no time...
the surpluses are gone and the country is damn near bankrupt in very real terms, got the country mired down in foreign wars and trying desparately to pick more fights.....all the while totally ignoring the social problems of the country

if given the chance- i still think that fidel could have done a way better job leading america than bush
What he said.
