That's right!! Bush bought America to its knees!!! So much has happened when he was in ofice...it has been a living hell!!!

 

It's been a very bad decade for America. The 90's were so much sweeter. I hated this stupid decade.. Bush is part of the reason. He stole the election and has made this decade a living hell.
