So Little Time, So Much Damage

Post by stilltrucking » November 4th, 2008, 2:48 am

While Americans eagerly vote for the next president, here’s a sobering reminder: As of Tuesday, George W. Bush still has 77 days left in the White House — and he’s not wasting a minute.

President Bush’s aides have been scrambling to change rules and regulations on the environment, civil liberties and abortion rights, among others — few for the good. Most presidents put on a last-minute policy stamp, but in Mr. Bush’s case it is more like a wrecking ball. We fear it could take months, or years, for the next president to identify and then undo all of the damage.

Here is a look — by no means comprehensive — at some of Mr. Bush’s recent parting gifts and those we fear are yet to come.

Sorry Cecil I probably should not even have posted it, just something I been following for the past couple of months.

wrecking ballz!
while not a filibuster=proof concoction, the senate will be able to pass significant changes, if they are willing, and the repukeblickinz will try to block legislation with their fullofit bluisteringk. kgb style\

eviduncely, the current prez and his cronies can make economic changes and legislative -economic changes only thru just afore feliz navidad

as far as health care workers being able to refuse to participate in abortions, and relatesd counselling, i have noproblem with that

i would refuse a partial penectomy
