A Letter From The President
I recieved an email about Bush today (well, this happens quite often actually), but this one stuck out because it is short, blunt, and to-the-point. I've actually editted this email down a bit, removing snide parenthetical comments that are pretty much there only to add opinion to the facts. I also added a few things that the email left out. I can't remove all of the sass from it, but I have done so in a lot of places. Obviously this is still a biased list, only address Bush's failures as president, but if you support Bush or are undecided, please read this email and take into serious consideration the future of our country (and more importantly, the world) if he is re-elected.
Dear voters,
I attacked and took over 2 countries.
I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the US Treasury.
I shattered the record for the biggest annual deficit in history.
I set an economic record for the most personal bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period.

I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed.

I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.
I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.
I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.
Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (The poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.)
I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously struggle against bankruptcy.
I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world.

I am the all-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
The biggest lifetime contributor to my campaign, who is also one of my best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).
I spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in US history.
I am the first president to run and hide when the US came under attack (and then lied, saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1).
I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.
I took the world's sympathy for the US after 9/11, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).

Comments
so, i just gotta point out a quote that schuyler gave to me, as i know you are planning on voting the lesser of two evils in our upcoming election. do you really believe the democrat would be any better? (i can't say i remember where the quote is from... sorry.)
"On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in."
