Bush Just Never Gave a Damn About His Responsibilities as President of the united States

BOB HERBERT asks in his commentary: "Does anyone know where George W. Bush is? You don’t hear much from him anymore. The last image most of us remember is of the president ducking a pair of size 10s that were hurled at him in Baghdad. We’re still at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel is thrashing the Palestinians in Gaza. And the U.S. economy is about as vibrant as the 0-16 Detroit Lions. But hardly a peep have we heard from George, the 43rd." Herbert suggests that when Bush leaves office: "There should be a great hue and cry — a loud, collective angry howl, demonstrations with signs and bullhorns and fiery speeches — over the damage he’s done to this country." Herbert suggests that Bush's legacy amounts to nothing but eight years of "deceit." Herbert concludes his assessment of Bush: "The catalog of his transgressions against the nation’s interests — sins of commission and omission — would keep Mr. Bush in a confessional for the rest of his life. Don’t hold your breath. He’s hardly the contrite sort. He told ABC’s Charlie Gibson: “I don’t spend a lot of time really worrying about short-term history. I guess I don’t worry about long-term history, either, since I’m not going to be around to read it.” Herbert points out Bush's incredible lack of remorse for all he has done to bring ruin to the United States: "The president chuckled, thinking — as he did when he made his jokes about the missing weapons of mass destruction — that there was something funny going on." This writer believes that somehow, someway, someday Bush fully deserves to be held accountable for his complete failure to abide by his oath to the Constitution. Let Bush be remembered for all time as the deceitful scoundrel that he has proved himself to be.
