Are they upset that he was too squeamish to deploy American military forces in endless wars based on lies?

Or are they angry that the administration didn't privatize everything in sight, including the country's armed forces?

Do they mean that he was too nice to the mealy-mouthed diplo-nothing-burgers at the UN, rather than sending a thug over there to jam policy down their throats?

Do they mean that he wasn't unilateral enough, always worrying about what Europeans and other pansy countries were concerned about?

Is their problem with him that he coddled the Russians and refused to shred the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty?

Or that he was far too deferential to bearded, Birkenstock-wearing, Al Gore-adoring dittoheads, and wouldn't unsign the Kyoto Accord?

Or that he failed to undermine the International Criminal Court at every possible opportunity?

Maybe it's all about how he negotiated too much with North Korea.

Are they angry that Bushiekins didn't have the guts to piss all over international law by authorizing illegal invasions, torture and renditions?

Are they miffed that he constantly kowtowed to Palestinian terrorists, never taking the side of Israel in the endless rounds of Middle East peace negotiations he presided over?

Oh, I know what I was. They're angry that he didn't slash taxes during his presidency! That's obviously it.

Or, wait, was it that he was too pro-choice, both at home and in US family planning policy abroad?

Maybe they're fuming because he didn't put real regressive, pro-government, pro-executive branch, pro-corporate, 13th-century-social-policy-preferring, justices on the Supreme Court -- people like John Roberts or Sam Alito, for example.

Could it be that they really wanted a president who would absolutely thrash the historic barrier between church and state, and all they got was this lousy Bush-Cheney 2004 tee-shirt instead?

Maybe they're pissed because Bush refused to spy on Americans. Or that he was so weak-kneed that he went and got warrants before he did it. Or that he waited for Congressional approval to do any of this.

Or is it that he refused in principle to autograph over a thousand signing statements appended to legislation, which would have effective wiped out the role of Congress in American government?
