While surrounding himself with neo-con's, who wanted war, oil companies that wanted profits, drug companies that price gouged consumer's, and energy companies that wrote the U.S. energy policies. A sad time in our nation's history.

While Bush was the President, he could't have did this much damage by himself. The Congress and Senate went along, passing nearly everything that was sent their way. Republican's and Democrats should be hanging their heads in shame.
