Nancy Pelosi calls Bush ‘total failure’: she should get own House in order

In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday Nancy Pelosi had some choice words for the President. “God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States — a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject,” Pelosi told Blitzer.
I guess Speaker Pelosi doesn’t realize that a well placed “her” “hers” and “Speaker of the House” could be substituted in that sentence if Congress doesn’t change courses in the very near future. It was all good when she and her party were in the minority, but now that they hold an advantage in both Houses of Congress.
As a matter of fact I’d like to revise her comments a bit. The President has LOST all credibility on the subjects that she mentioned. It’s Congress that continues to lose credibility every daily.
President Bush is a lame duck to put it mildly. I can get with Obama using Bush as a punchline but Ms. Pelosi needs to move beyond that. It’s time to offer solutions not critiques.

Bush is the worst president in American history. Bush facilitated the 9/11 attacks. Subsequently, Bush lied to Congress and the American people relative to the reasons for invading Iraq. Bush purposefully misled Congress and the American people. Then, Bush murdered more than 4,000 United States service members. And Bush wounded more than 30,000 United States service members. In torturing prisoners of war, Bush patently violated the Geneva Convention. Bush unlawfully wiretapped United States citizens. In using “signing statements” to challenge hundreds of laws passed by Congress, Bush violated the Constitution. Bush has ignored global warming. Bush is guilty of criminal negligence relative to the response to Hurricane Katrina. Bush disobeys our democratic values and Constitution. Bush is a disgrace to the United States.
Pelosi is right: Bush is a total failure.
