You won't need the cup ot tea 'er nuthin' else: Bush don't like no one but white folks. Period. No tea. No nuthin'. He is as racist a president this county has seen since Jefferson Davis... I repeat: He only like white people!

Anyone want to agrue with this? Check out how many black males, many of whom were guilty of nuthin' more than being born black, who he allowed to be executed in Texas!!! I hope in his next life he comes back as a black male who is victimized by some other racist gaovernor. He deserves nuthin' less...

"Failing to build on common ground, the Bush administration missed opportunities to build consensus on key civil rights issues and has instead adopted policies that divide Americans. President Bush could have, early on, called on public officials to unify and show America and the world that, together, the nation could improve its voting systems. Likewise, he could have exerted leadership on affirmative action by soliciting diverse viewpoints and promoting policies that achieve diversity. Future presidential administrations, in fulfilling their duty to advance civil rights, should inspire Americans to unity, not divisiveness."

For those who have no tea or food available, here's the last paragraph of the study. Says in a few words what is stated/proved/demonstrated and supported throughout the document. I read parts, not all.

If I remember correctly, some of his relatives are Latinos. But, if he has any sense, he probably hates himself, too.

From the summary:

"This report finds that President Bush has neither exhibited leadership on pressing civil rights issues, nor taken actions that matched his words. The report reaches this conclusion after analyzing and summarizing numerous documents, including historical literature, reports, scholarly articles, presidential and administration statements, executive orders, policy briefs, documents of Cabinetlevel agencies, federal budgets and other data.

Bush the dimwitted son of an oil-rich family, with strong Saudi ties, saw a chance to justify the conquest of an oil rich country, with an admittedly corrupt government. He created an ugly war where many people are dying, many many Iraqi's and over 1000 Americans. He did not delare war, as is required by the constitution. He did not justify himself except to say 'trust me'. He could not gather international support because he probably didn't want to share control of the proceeds. He seized the moment of sympathy the world offered the United States over "9,11" to drag American foreign policy through the mud and alienate most of the rest of the world.

He made his vice president richer, he made his backers happy, and he showed himself to be morally bankrupt.

This is a viewpoint - I believe it to be the most reasonable viewpoint. If it seems extremist or 'out of the ballpark' to you examine your news sources and question if they are one-sided or biased. I am not pretending to be 'the truth', just encouraging you to seek it.
