Yeah, a lot of people feel that way. I was SO RELIEVED McCain/Palin did not win the election! It would have made things worse! More hunting, fewer or no protections for animals, etc. I hope Obama's administration does a lot of good while they can!

No, no! Bush is is a moral man, after all he prays every day, and says hes against abortion and stuff. What a loser, can we throw out before Jan 20?

If all of you want to see
the extent of the Bush damage,
Google Blue Dot photo/Carl Sagan.

This photo is a mind blower in
how small we are & how delicate
the earth is.

I sincerely hope Obama undoes all
the insane laws Bush has inacted.

Bush and his administration are just sick, cruel, and truly evil people who should suffer as they made people, animals, and the environment suffer.
These people have diseased minds that enjoy pain and suffering.

I can't understand how such a man can claim to know a "powerful G-d" and do what he's done. Excellent point James Verry made. Once an alkie always an alkie, he's proven how damaged his brain has become even worse in the past 2 months. We'll sacrifice and let him come back to TX. early, except the coward won't.

I often wonder, when he closes his eyes at night, what sort of a future he visualises for his grandchildren and their children. Sure, he will leave them plenty of money but will they have anything to spend it on after he has made sure that all the Earth's finite resources have been pillaged? As the Cree proverb says, they won't be able to eat money. Someone should pin the following quote to his empty head.

How rich will we be when we have converted all our forests, all our soil, all our water resources, and our minerals into cash?"

- Ding Darling, American cartoonist/conservationist

I find it hard to comprehend that a man who has had so much power for so long can have absolutely NO vision for the future. He has had so much opportunity to do good and has squandered it. It is a crime and should be punished.

If Bush doesn't go down in history as one of the worst , if not the worst president in memory I'll be amazed. He's done more harm to the envrionment, and made more boneheaded decisions in his 8 yrs. than we can remember. This last ditch ploy to take the oversight away from scientists and give it to businessmen is like a slap in the face to the Ameican people.
