Google "failure"

What comes up when one searches in Google using the one word "failure" is George W. Bush. Wow! If a software search crawl can determine the president, his policies and his administration is a failure, one would think the living, breathing people of this country could see this as well.

It's not only W's foreign policy that is an abysmal failure it is most of his policies. Whether it is his inability to have the militias in Iraq disarm or his inability to have and administer a cogent plan to rebuild the Gulf coast to the unprecedented denial and strong arming of government scientists to speak and put forth sound science that may disagree with his politics W seems incapable of successful leadership. Isn't that what he touted when funning for president. Wasn't he the guy who said, " I'm a leader who leads"?

Of course that kind of statement was made fun of. It's a circular augment. But we had had enough of a guy who was aware of everything, wanted to know everything, had a hand in everything. We wanted an executive who would not stamp his personal imprimatur on everything and let the people decide for themselves. Boy did we misjudge. What we got was an impressionable near-do-well who chose his staff poorly and listened and instituted all the misguided things they could never have gotten an informed strong leader to do.

So, here we are. With a leader who even a software program has no equivocation about what he is and where he has taken us. A light weight good-'ol-boy party animal who everyone liked but was deep and thoughtful as a puddle. But "stay the course," is a bumper sticker. It is not a plan and it is a failure. Don't believe me? Google it.
