Was the country so bad on Sept 10, 2001 that we had to change so much.

They say they killed Bin Laden. Ok he's dead we agree.

How about we return back to normal.

Get rid of that evil patriot act.

Bring the troops home.

Repeal Homeland Security.

Fire the TSA.

Does anyone remember what freedom is anymore?

According to a Labor Department report, the nation's unemployment rate has soared, and President George W. Bush doesn't really have a plan.

Bush did have a plan - just different priorities.

September 1, 2001:

...boasting last week that he's happy the tax cut reduced the surplus to almost nothing, because it put a "fiscal straitjacket" on big congressional spenders, better known as Democrats. Rather astonishingly, the president admitted to what his enemies had long accused him of: achieving his anti-government agenda not with a forthright battle over individual social programs, but by reducing the government's ability to pay for them, forcing spending cuts in programs that might otherwise have popular support.

The trouble for Bush is that the biggest government spenders are Donald Rumsfeld and his friends at the Pentagon, who have already been promised an $18 billion boost by the president. Now that the tax cut has passed, the question is whether the president can afford his big-ticket programs for defense -- most notably his hugely expensive missile defense program -- as well as education. Democrats complain he can't, and that the tax cut also prevented action on a popular-with-voters proposal to develop a prescription-drug benefit for the elderly under Medicare.

September 11 changed everything for Bush.

PRINCETON, NJ -- President George W. Bush's approval rating was at 51% in a Gallup Poll conducted Sept. 7-10 and completed just before the tragic events of Tuesday. This rating was down some from Bush's recent average, which had been in the mid-50% range. The poll also showed that overall satisfaction with the way things are going in the United States was down significantly and that most of Gallup's measures of the public's perception of the economy had reached new lows for recent years.

I think that some of that was due of the push from Bush for his amnesty due to 'low unemployment' and not enough cheap gardeners, and grape and lettuce pickers. 911 put it on hold.

Bush's low unemployment numbers were caused by being business friendly.
Obama is not business friendly. Unemployment has at least doubled.

Anyone hear JStewart boo hooing about unemployment anymore?

Which for some reason started in the Bush administration, because he wasn't business friendly either at least among the smaller ones that tend to be the job creators. His deregulation and then bailout of too large to fail corps and banks proved it.

Can't argue that. I'm just struck by the lack of outrage from the left.

You can only be outraged/cry so much.

Then it's commit suicide or wait to fight. As you laugh at the reality...

Sorta exactly like 4th/5th Gen Warfare.
