And their leader will certainly be adjudged the worst chief executive ever to occupy the White House. Sadly, and frustratingly, we, the American voters, will have no one but ourselves to blame for this abominable record. When the history of this administration is written (and here I include Congress, along with the White House), it will — and SHOULD — be described as the most corrupt, heartless, spineless, shameless, shameful and useless such group in our nation’s history.

And their leader will certainly be adjudged the worst chief executive ever to occupy the White House.

Sadly, and frustratingly, we, the American voters, will have no one but ourselves to blame for this abominable record.

[Quoted from Rolling Stone Magazine (I couldn't find this online).] I guess it’s fitting here to mention how the Pentagon supported the troops in 2007:

-Required that soldiers discharged early because of battlefield injuries repay their enlistment bonuses.

-Sent the longest-serving National Guard unit home after 729 days of combat in Iraq– one day shy of the 730 that the soldiers needed to qualify for education benefits.

-Omitted 20,000 cases of brain trauma from the official tally of troops injured in Iraq.

-Denied medical-benefits to 22,000 veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress by discharging them for having enlisted with “pre-existing personality disorders”.
