I agree Dragonrider, and feel that your points of WHY he is a failure as a president are valid:
-Manipulation of a national tragedy for the gain of his cartel
-Divisive
-Making misleading statements about the causes of high petroleum prices to make us ignore the record profits shown lately by the bog oil companies
-Horrible horrible failure to react appropriately to natural disaster [Katrina stands out]
-Out of touch with the needs of the People, when in a democracy it is the needs of the People that should be his main focus
-Putting the country at large at odds with the rest of the world
-Poor environmental record
-Wasting tax dollars on projects [war and associated] that are not wholly supported by the People
-Unnecessarily endangering the lives of members of our Armed Forces
-Creating and then denying the existence of a national economic crisis
-Allowing the DEA to interfere with the rights of States to define their own medical drug policy

I think it's telling that my neighbor, a pretty hardcore Republican/conservative, said recently, "I'm still a Republican. But my party has failed me and I'm voting independent until they get back in line with what I believe"

He (well, the people with their hand up the puppet's ass anyway) has been a genius at making us as a nation focus on what his handlers would like us to focus on, while ignoring evidence pointing to the true reason we're in a big economic and international-relations disaster right now.

Time to stop charging the red cape, and make a few runs at the Matador.
