POPSBush popularity rating purportedly lowest in history History will be kind to President Bush. Like Winnie Churchill who was discarded by the ungrateful Brits immediately after WWII, Americans have forgotten how Bush prevented any terrorist attacks on the homeland for 7 years. Americans will miss his strong leadership once the attacks resume under the obamanation

POPSObama's Instant Plans to Overthrow Bush Orders
One of Bush's methods of shredding the American Constitution was to abuse the power of what's called: "Executive Orders." Congress would pass some piece of legislation and Bush, in secret, would write a little memo saying he wasn't going to obey that law, or parts of that law. This is not how 'Executive Orders,' were suppose to work. Obama's team has spotted 200 of such abusive Executive Orders that Obama can instantly delete -- since Bush wrote these things all on his own Obama will delete them all on his own. Targeted for instant deletion: 1. Prohibition on stem cell research 2. Limits to foreign aid bases on another nations' contraceptive or abortion policies. 3. Approval of oil drilling in sensitive areas. 4. Approval of torture. 5. Various Bush directives that denied climate change And will close down Guantanamo Bay prison and will end policies of indefinite detention and denial of habitus corpus. & 190 other things. Just the beginning of why he deserved

POPS Obama vs. Pelosi Barack Obama obviously has thought carefully about mistakes made by previous Democratic presidential winners who wrongly believed a Congress controlled by their own party would help make them a success. That may be one reason why Mr. Obama has chosen Rahm Emanuel, a respected member of the Congressional leadership, to become his new White House Chief of Staff. Mr. Emanuel has a reputation as a tough partisan, but he has also exhibited impatience with left-wing members of his party who have overly ambitious ideological agendas. To the extent Mr. Obama becomes a successful president, it will be because he remains his own man and trusts the brilliant political instincts that have gotten him this far, this fast.

POPSBush presidency 'battered', 'incompetent', 'unlucky' Who are these people kidding? They are being far too kind with him. The word I would use to describe him is “criminal”. He set a precedent for spying on American citizens, lied to start a war in order to line his corporate buddies pockets with cash, stomped on the Constitution to give his office more power, run roughshod over habeas corpus, approved the use of torture, appointed incompetent cronies to leadership positions, abused executive privilege to protect criminal activities, is responsible for creating more terrorist than al Qaeda, smothered Americans with a security bureaucracy that has only fostered fear and anger, and run our economy into the ground. The word “Incompetent” doesn’t begin to cover what this administration will be known for.

POPSThe Treatment of Bush Has Been a Disgrace (?????) hahahahahahahahaha---this guy is so delusional...with all the damage Bush has done and is STIL tryin to do with his latest round of environmental deregulations designed to profit his cronies, I find it impossible to show him any respect whatsoever--He has no regard for people or the Earth! He should be prosecuted for war crimes and other felonies that he and Cheney have committed, not defended by this bozo.

POPSMy Beautiful Blue Indiana! I am so pleased that the majority of voters in my home state of Indiana chose Obama over McCain! It has been an exciting election for us Hoosiers, who normally get little attention due to the assumption that Indiana is a dyed-in-the-wool red state. Well, not any more! Woo hoo! I was one of the Hoosiers who cast an absentee ballot this year. :)

POPSAn Election Day Note: Thanks, President Bush Me too. I believe he will gladly leave the White House and return to private life to live as a private citizen. I believe he will be sad by what he was not able to accomplish and fearful of what lies ahead for all of us. Since I never read the Daily Kos, Huffington, Salon, or watched CNN, I never saw anything in his conduct as my President to make me ashamed or embarrassed. I believe he is a man who tried to do what was best of us and the US. Sadly, he didn't have much to work with in the other Branch of Government.

POPSIs there hope for the FDA? Bush's policies and culture has far and reaching effects on the federal government. The public good is no longer at the heart of our democracy.

POPSWhat if SNL Mocked Michelle (hate America) Obama With complete media bias assisting ZerObama's election efforts, with hundreds of millions illegally coming in from overseas (Arab) sources, isn't it amazing the Wonder Boy isn't ahead by 20 or 30 points? The race is tied because Americans are coming to realize His Holiness is selling snake oil.

POPSAnd We Won't Come Out! "All U.S. forces in Iraq will simply remain in their bases and not come out." This is simply ridiculous. It sounds more like a kindergarten spat, than world politics.

POPSTortue: Direct Authorizations from White House Revealed Torture is against Internation law In March 2008 Bush vetoed Congressional legislation outlawing torture. New legislation was later passed officially approving waterboarding & other modes of torture (John McCain voted in favor of this approval) Approving torture and approving totally allowed spying on citizens without specific warrants or reasons are two fatall steps towards full-fledged fascism. This documentation of these White House memos would document Bush/Cheney & other White Houses officials of war crimes OR complicity in war crimes. If these officials can get away with this now, not only does the corruption and descent of our nation deepen now but makes it more probably that such evils will happen in the future. (Having private armies is another classic step down the road to fascism -- like Blackwater, like other "private security contractors.") Ruling by fear and lies, etc. The legacy of George Bush will be that he's the first president to be tried for

POPSMcCain-Palin Warmongers Don't Know Jack In this latest blast Obama is accused of being in some conspiracy with the Iraqi government. Here is the big Conspiracy: He told the Iraqi government what the USA law was, concerning future plans for Iraq. The USA law is that Congress has to vote on any agreement. Shocking! This is like the law that says Congress is suppose to vote on wars; (it sure would be nice if they got back to that basic Constitutional mandate). But here's the Real Shocker: the Bush Administration wants to sign a "private contract," with Iraq, allowing the war to go on and for permanent occupation. They call this private contract a "Status of Forces Agreement." By doing it this way they claim they can avoid the hassle of going to Congress. These *()*$#8 do this all the time. We don't go to war anymore. The president makes private 'Status of Forces Agreements." We got them all over the world. They try to keep them secret. (Backstory: US needs one by Dec./ UN mandate justifying war

POPSCongress approval rating just 10% "A political establishment held in higher regard may have been able to hold together some kind of coalition of the willing," wrote Joel Achenbach in the Washington Post. "But distrust of the nation's leaders, from the leaders of Congress to the president, foreclosed that possibility." This was not mere rhetoric. Congress's public approval rating was down to 18% before the crisis hit. By some estimates, it is now 10% and falling. Washington has seen a "throw the bums out" mood before, notably Newt Gingrich's 1994 anti-government "Republican revolution". But this is something else. Like some others, Gingrich is calling for the resignation of Hank Paulson, the treasury secretary, for presiding over a train wreck and then failing to persuade people why $700bn was needed to get back on the rails.

POPSAmerica Under Martial Law If this would have taken place 20 years ago, I never would have found out about it. Thank God for the internet and people who pass info like this around. I don't know what to make of the added remarks about Bible Prophecy. I think you can make a lot of money speaking about it. Jesus said you won't know the day nor the hour. He told the Jews they would have signs, but I believe the church will be gone prior to that. Paul said Jesus would come for the church like a thief in the night and the people would be crying "peace and safety." Rev 17? speaks of Babylon surrounded by water - it is a desert right now. I think we we delay his coming by allowing our country to be at war and stirring up more war and letting our president turn a republic into an empire. Jesus may or may not come back in our life time. But this I know for sure - we are losing our country, the leaders are corrupt, and only an outcry from THE PEOPLE in mass is going to stop them.

POPSPoll: Obama Leads Wisconsin This one's a little personal. If I see one more electoral map that shows the Badger state as a toss-up, I'm going to hurt someone. Wisconsin isn't going McCain, it hasn't gone GOP since the Reagan landslide. Other fun results; Bush is really unpopular here -- only a 15% job approval rating. More evidence that McCain's done here. He's still spending money here, though. You can't watch TV for an hour without seeing a McCain ad. Glad to see him blowing that cash on a lost cause.
