Bush Crime Family is just "working to do the people's business"

Last week George W. Bush held a special press conference to announce

that, "Members of Congress now face a choice: whether they will waste

time and provoke an unnecessary confrontation, or whether they will

join us in working to do the people's business."

Yes folks, apparently "the people's business" now involves the White

House collaborating with the Justice Department to cripple

investigations against Republican officials by firing prosecutors who

don't have their noses sufficiently far up the president's backside.

Let's do a quick recap of some of the rest of the "people's business"

that the Bush administration has spent the past six years working on.

Allowing wounded soliders to live in rotting, rodent-infested

quarters when they return home from Iraq.

Outing a covert CIA agent and then lying about it.

Making sure that we lose three American soldiers a day for an

indefinite period of time.

Throwing hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars at a war which

most of the country thinks we shouldn't be involved in.

Torturing people in secret prisons and refusing them access to

any kind of legal representation.

Dramatically increasing the gap between rich and poor Americans.

Making sure that more children go without healthcare.

Ignoring the recent increase in violent crime.

Ignoring the very real threat of global climate change.

Doing nothing to decrease America's dependence on foreign oil.

Tossing off while Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast,

showing up for a couple of photo-ops, and then forgetting about the

whole thing.

Turning Michael Schiavo's terribly difficult and private family

decision into a nationwide media circus.

Unconstitutionally spying on American citizens.

Pursuing policies which have massively increased the threat of

global terrorism and then pig-headedly refusing to change course.

Letting Osama bin Laden get away.

You know, if that's the definition of "working to do the people's

business," maybe Our Great Leader should take another vacation.
