The ones that are even close are so simplified, there's a lot deeper reasons for such things and previous policies before GWB's time were already set.
It's just more idiotic misguided easy shots at complicated matters just to bash a president. Boring....but if he wants to bash, it's fine with me...just makes him look like more of a moron than Bush is so far.
Well some of them are undeniable facts, like blowing your budget surplus, withdrawing from Kyoto, pissing off a good chunk of the world. The actions of previous governments are often the reason for the way things are now, but the challenge is to work with those, work around them, or fix them. In Australia, the long term Labor government racked a lot of debt, and the Liberals have managed to pay a lot of it back, and grown the economy a lot. (Unfortunately, this meant not spending any money and hijacking prior Labor creations, hence the fact that I owe ~$4500AUD HECS already and will most likely end up with $15k+AUD debt.)
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...
