What Ever Happened to Bush and Cheney???

... No, really, what ever happened to the previous President and Vice-President of the United States? You know, the guys who were in office for EIGHT YEARS, from 2001 to 2008? The guys who were in charge when September 11th, 2001, went down? The guys who used September 11th, 2001, to pass the Patriot Act, basically ushering in a twenty-first-century version of McCarthy-Era blind persecution? The guys who used September 11th, 2001, as an excuse to mercilessly invade Afghanistan and Iraq for their oil resources? The guys who wasted BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars invading the two aforementioned countries? The guys who sent DOZENS of soldiers into peril for the sake of their multi-billion-dollar corporate oil-greed? The guys who allowed (and probably even CAUSED) Wall Street to spin wildly out of control and land the entire nation into the 2.2-trillion-dollar hell-hole that is still affecting us today?

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BUSH AND CHENEY, THE REAL REASON THIS NATION IS AN ECONOMIC MESS TODAY???!!!

Every time I turn on CNN, I sit dumbfounded as the Republicans boldly declare that America's economic nightmare was all President Obama's fault, AND A MYRIAD OF AMERICANS BLINDLY AGREE WITH THEM, AS IF BUSH AND CHENEY DID ABSOLUTELY NO WRONG! How about we engage in some common-sense thinking for a minute, you know, BRING YOU TURKEYS BACK TO THE REAL WORLD. Was Obama President in 2008, during the 2.2-trillion-dollar economic meltdown that left you jobless today? "No," you say? Well, then, WHO was President in 2008? "W," right? OK, excellent, now we're back on Planet Earth! Now, who was President in 2007? ... 2006? ... 2005? ... 2004? ... 2003? ... 2002? ... 2001? Again, it was "W," and not his good twin brother, right? That's what I thought! See how easy it is when you use common sense?

Oh, and here's a kick in the head. When "W" (a.k.a. baby-Bush, because his father was also Bush, and was also President from 1988 to 1992) took office in 2001, didn't this nation have AN ECONOMIC SURPLUS INSTEAD OF A DEFICIT??? This means that in eight years time, Bush ("W") and Cheney wrecked the American economy, used terrorism to terrorize the American people into submission, invaded two countries for the sake of big oil, and forced America to put out enough petrochemical waste to make the nation one of the major polluters of the world, right up there with Communist China, contributing to global warming in a major way. Oh, and here's another major kick in the head. The American people knew that Bush and Cheney were up to no good back in 2004, WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE TO ELECT A DIFFERENT PRESIDENT. But instead, America mindlessly put those two clowns BACK in Office. (I voted for Kerry and Edwards back in 2004. I don't know why the heck all you other people voted differently, but maybe it had something to do with that stupid fear-tactic the Republican-owned newsmedia used against you all right before the polls opened, i.e. "Osama Bin Laden plans even more terrorist attacks against the U.S.," or some ridiculous report like that.) So in reality, if you truly wish to know why America is such a mess today, don't just point at Bush and Cheney. Find yourself a big enough mirror and point one of those bony fingers at yourself.
