Bush - 2002 promise to promote more global access to agriculture and industry through elimination of farm subsidies and steel tariffs. Bush and the Republican Congress turned around and passed the 2002 Farm Bill, which included 70 billion in farming subsidies. Bush turns around and pushes for raising of steel tariffs, bringing 2 billion in retaliatory tariffs from the EU, after which Bush rescinds on the tariffs issue.
Bush made a campaign promise to triple education spending...when in fact NCLB is millions underfunded, leaving many children behind.
Cut by 80 percent funding for Head Start programs...something he said the exact opposite of during campaigns. But who cares, those minority students in poor areas don't deserve a cent from Uncle Sam...all they need to do is pull themselves up out of their situation!
Bush made a campaign promise to cut carbon monoxide and dioxide emissions, and decrease pollution...He follwed this *whopper* of a promise by
1.appointing Gale "Drill it Deep" Norton, a major skeptic of global warming, widlife preserves, and part of a conservative "think tank" funded by oil companies. Norton has declared the endangered species act unconstitutional and declared the Environmental Protection Act to be under attack. This is a bitch that defended 2 large companies in lawsuits about exposing children to lead paint.
2. appointing Paul "Scandal" O'Neill as Secretary of the Treasury, a guy who worked a loophole into Texas environmental regulations that allowed Alcoa, the company he was CEO of and personal Halliburton, to emit 60,000 tons of sulfur dioxide yearly.
3. Appointed a secretary of Eenrgy, Spencar Abraham, with an envrionmental rating of "zero" according to the Leagur of Conservation voters...lmao.
4. Is currently trying to repeal the Clean Air act, and replace it with one that increases the amounts of pollutants and carinogens factories can spew.
5. Pulled out of Kyoto...the list goes on.
Claimed to support worker Safety during campaigning...in actuality Bush has rolled back more worker safety and workplace standards initiatives than any other president. Good thing too, because those TRIAL LAWYERS are always suing hardworking, caring CEOs and Big Companies who only care about the good of the common person.

The Los Angeles Times reported, "The White House opposed that panel initially, then backed down under pressure, and some say administration officials now regret doing so because the administration has become locked in a series of embarrassing battles with the Sept. 11 commission." The New York Times noted Bush "gave the panel until March 2005, well after the November elections, to submit its conclusions." [NY Times, 2/7/04; LA Times, 2/1/04; AP, 2/6/04]

[White House Press Briefing, 10/24/01]
Bush Flop: Bush Decides to Support Homeland Security
The New York Times reported, "Bush initially resisted Democratic proposals for a Cabinet-level agency.

Bush Flop: Bush Supports Constitutional Amendment That Restricts States' Rights
Bush: "If we are to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever, our nation must enact a constitutional amendment to protect marriage in America.

After the removal of the Taliban in Afghanistan, Bush met with soldiers stationed in Afghanistan at the White House and thanked them for their nation building efforts.

And now we blame our leaders for doing the same shit we do everyday. Lie cheat and steal to take care of your family and then tell your kids not to do that shit when they grow up and never tell them what you really do to put food on the table cuz well you'd look like a hypocrite and an asshole at the same time and you got to raise them little babies better, right?
But if they find out the truth you know their gonna hate your ass. But you wanna look out after them so bad and you don't want them to know how shitty the world is so your paternal instinct is to shield them the only way you know how. Lie and shelter them from everybody as much as you can in your little safe shell happy world and hope all the bad things just go away or get solved by somebody else. Know I don't want to say that's pussy shit but hey, somebody's got to.
The American people are the President's children. And we're all spoiled little whinyass brats who won't fight for shit and who don't believe in shit.
