Seriously - blame Bin Laden for the mess we are in now.
Why?
If he did not attack the WTC Bush would have nothing to rally behind. Bush and his team would not have any means to scare the country. The fact he is the only President to have a net loss of jobs would have stuck out more. The fact companies are leaving America in record numbers would have stuck out more. The fact Bush is just an idiot would have stuck out more.
There is not a single thing Bush could have used other than the results of the WTC attacks that would have got him the white house.
So ya - thanks Bin Laden - you sheep fucker.
(ps I really do not care if I spelled Bin Laden correctly, I do not care enough to look it up)
