George Bush: Worst American president in history



Recommended Posts

OMG! That's amazing news about the weather up there!

It's probably Dubya's fault.

I'll bet a lot of the natives are happy about it though. They usually complain about too much snow and cold! Spring too short and all that.

I miss it still.

Aw, that's so sweet to hear, kiddo. I just got a phone call from my husband who is up north in cottage country with his family. There is less than an inch of snow on the ground and the lake is not frozen at all. His sister and her kids are over here for the Christmas holidays. They usually live in the south of France. The kids are kinda bored. They can't go toboganning because there isn't enough snow. They can't go skating: there is no ice. Everyone is stuck inside the cottage. This is why I chose to stay down in the city. :heh:

I should probably clean the pigsty up.;) I told him that I would. ;)

We went to Quebec city for Christmas one year. Thought we were going to die of bitter cold and wind! But we had a great time.

Green it sounds like you are about as independent as I am. Of course you're having to pay the price - house keeping. Bah humbug! But I don't blame you. I know the decision was made all in the name of meeting your weight loss goals. If you can't go outside for winter sports exercise, you can do some indoor cleaning exercise. heh, heh, heh. Plus (and this is a biggie at my relatives' homes) being able to miss exposure to all the Christmas goodies is a bonus. Let's don't even talk about the noise level stress from being cooped up with little rowdy ones.

I am sure that when Dubya and the Mrs. had to spend some time in an armored vehicle as a precaution due to the tornadic activity in the area of their ranch a coupla days ago, they were sorry that they caused the weather to go south of Canada instead of where it belonged. Just trying to stay true to the thread...

It's hard to stay grinchy at Christmas! Guess we'll have to wait for George to open his mouth again. We'll be happy to shoo everybody outta Texas and back to Washington!

Some inroads were made on the swamp that Green calls home.:faint:

Her cat bit her.:help:

She had her second PB ever right after swallowing her morning meds. Oops!:party:

Her restriction vanished before dinner time and she was able to eat far too much Chinese food at the local restaurant where she invited a girlfriend out for dinner. Oops!:)

Now she is home alone and waiting for her mate to safely arrive. It is raining outside.:cry

She can't blame the dirty house or the lap band follies on George W, you know........:o

This is how Green spent the final days of 2006. On the plus side, her pants are a lot looser.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Green: Hope you don't lose your pants when you stand up, like someone else here did. Or maybe it would be a cool homecoming demonstration for your husband.

I thought we could blame anything and everything on George W.?? That was the way it worked when a Democrat was in the White House. Paybacks are hell.

Happy New Year, people!

BJean: Green is still looking forward to the day when her knickers continue to sit when she stands up. That will be one helluva NSV!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Without reading 42 pages of what I assume is arguing, I'm going to disagree with you about Bush being the worst president in history.

Yeh, but why? Don't leave us hanging, eh.:girl_hug:

Actually, there is more agreement than arguing. The majority of us think Bush is the worst US president in history. Some think he is the anti-Christ. A few think he is bad, but not the absolute WORST, and one or two misguided individuals, God bless 'em, agree with George that he is one hell of a great guy....and humble, too.

I'll just go down the middle and say he's not doing the job I'd like him to, but he's far from the worst president in history. I do believe he's done a lot of good while in the presidency. He's also done some things I agree with, even if our rationale is different (War in Iraq, at least).

Okay....fair enough. But who gets your vote for the worst president in US history? And if you say Bill Clinton, because he got a BJ in the oval office, then I'm just gonna have to send the men with those little white jackets - the ones with the cute wrap-around sleeves - over to your house.

I'll go ahead and say Andrew Jackson. That whole trail of tears thing was just a stellar piece of history...

But for the record I dont' think there's a categorically 'worst' president in history. Everyone has their ups and downs. Plus putting a blanket statement like "Worst" on such a complicated job wildly simplifies the presidency.

The experts usually hand the "worst" honors to a Democrat and a Republican. Buchanan--for letting the nation divide under his leadership--and Harding--for more corruption than had been seen...but then THAT was before Halliburton and all--are usually two of the pack leaders for "worst ever."

I almost went nuts looking for your original post about Truman and the "unnecessary" atomic bomb so I could reply. Are you deliberately trying to confuse an old lady?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
