Won’t help Bush rehab his record

Posted May 08, 2013 4:40 am

We don’t need a fancy library to illustrate what Bush gave us as president: 9/11 terrorist attack in NYC, unnecessary war in Iraq, botched war in Afghanistan, three tax cuts for the rich, 40 percent larger federal government, $6 trillion debt, attempt to privatize Social Security, the Great Recession of 2008, billions in Wall-Street bailouts and record high middle-class unemployment and foreclosures.

Bush was a disaster for the average American that we’re still paying for. I won’t be visiting his library in Texas to celebrate his incompetence and help him rehabilitate his record.
