[Vision2020] Straw Poll

[Tom Hansen]

Doonesbury's Straw Poll for January 15, 2009 -

----------------------------------------------

As the price of Bush trinkets plummets at the remaining Crawford gift shop 
and Dubya prepares to retire to Dallas, let's check the unpopularity of 
the top three most unpopular policies of the most unpopular president ever.

1)  THE IRAQ WAR. The lead on his obit. Conceived in obsession, sold with 
lies, executed with stunning incompetence, our unprovoked dismantling of a 
nation, killing tens of thousands, driving millions from their homes, 
torturing suspects, squandering global goodwill, handing Al Qaeda a new 
front, is a widening stain on American honor, one that will take 
generations to remove. 

2)  KATRINA. Why clueless cronies in critical positions are a bad idea. 
Hard to pick a favorite moment of callousness. Barbara Bush telling the 
Superdome inhabitants how good they had it was breath-taking, but the 
iconic shot of Bush touring the drowning city at 30,000 feet said it best. 
Heckuva job, Junior.

3)  THE ECONOMY. Endless tax cuts for the rich, skyrocketing deficits, a 
weakening dollar, unconscionable lack of regulation. Unfortunately, you go 
into a depression with the economy you have, not the one you wish you 
still had. By the way, the entire world blames us for the mess. No pass 
for Clinton, but this was on your watch.
