- FlaG8r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Term limits are actually very recent. FDR was a 4 termer, for example.
- tanxadillo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35Almost dugg this before I noticed you used "lol" as the last thing in your title.
- celeronxl, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30Buried for the stupid title. Things like this on the front page just make the Digg community look dumb. Repost with a more intelligent title and I'll digg it. lol.
- pastasauce, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21And in the description. Do you type "lol" after each sentance/paragraph?
You should be a news anchor. Serriously.
"Five nuns were killed in a suicide bombing today in Pastastan. lol." - Railer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18I'm from Canada, and that's one thing (of several) that I like about the US, term limits. If a relatively small percentage in key areas in Canada want to keep a complete moron in power they can indefinitely. The US is 200 years old, your founding fathers figured out that even a complete moron can't screw up a country too badly in less then a decade.
So who you guys voting in next??? - AXNJAXN, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Byaaaargh!
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14kinda like the count down to when he olsen twins are legal, but less sexy, and far less disappointing (they got ugly)
- gbm85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Because the term limit is part of the 22nd amendment to The Constitution, and changing it would require 3/4 ratification by the House and Senate, as well as 3/4 ratification by the legislative branches of the 50 states.
- thiver, on 10/12/2007, -12/+20Scary !
Imagine all new wars that he is able to start in remaining days, ... Imagine budget deficit and upcoming economic crisis - Irimi, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13I made a paper chain. I'm special.
- erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9You must be new here...
- rickpable, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I'm surprised this hasn't gotten buried by the Bush-loving conservatives yet.
Can't wait until he's out of office, Dugg. - lickmygiggle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@Shinta
***** Romney. He's completely ignored Massachusetts for the past 2 years...The only thing he seems to do for us is keep getting all over Matt Amarillo's ass.
I'm very much a democrat, and I like John McCain. - Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8It started with the Politics section being added.
- terranika, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It just be we're a somewhat representative sampling of the American Population, which over 60% disapprove of the job he's doing.
I'm annoyed at the conservatives blaming the "liberal media" for everything.
I'm also annoyed at the liberals blaming Bush and "the right" for everything. - erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9stop trolling.
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7hey everyone! let's throw the word 'communism' around like black-listing is back in fashion!
just because a person has a liberal, progressive, or any view left of the spectrum, doesn't automatically mean they're communists. hell, the far right side of the spectrum is facism. should we call all republicans facists? no, we have more sence than that (at least i do).
Plus, i'd rather pick a ideally utopian society like socialism or communism where everything is shared equally among men, when those men CHOOSE to have said society (which is how it should be, and which is how it's never been so far, which is why it's never really worked so far), rather than facism which is forced upon the people by a tyrannical dictator (and which we seem to be falling further towards). - transistor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5maybe the US can put someone in office who doesn't have any oil business on the side.
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7ANY president would have responded to the attacks on 9/11 like Bush did, but do we think that after 9/11, when Osama admitted that he was the one behind the attacks, and explained very specifically WHY he did it, that Al Gore would NOT have turned on a tangent and put the majority of our forces on iraq? yeah, yeah we do.
- snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6stewart/colbert '08
- mikewitt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Anyone here notice that it's actually 905 days? I have this counter on my google homepage, that's how I know, but it still has seemed to slip past so many people...
- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6"GOT" ugly? They STARTED ugly!
- RubeusEsclair, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Bush is no Clinton.
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3that's probably impossible. bush just has a shorter amount of degrees of seperation between the two. plus, all political parties are influenced heavily by large corperations. i think if anything is to change, there needs to be some major campain reform to keep these lobbiests from giving out free vacations for votes.
- Leviathan777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I dunno that i see the positive in this. It looks like a lot of days to continue ***** up America and the rest of the world.
Seriously, this ***** hasn't accomplished anything or done anything right. Tax cuts for millionaires (and maybe, soon, for Paris Hilton - Save Paris!), bad economy for the middle class, alienated all allies, made America hated in the world, stopped research into life-saving medical technologies, done so badly on foreign policy that hundreds of promitent, life-long, hard-core Republicans from the policy, military, journalistic, and intelligence worlds have declared him a ***** lunatic, ignited war in the middle east, presided over the destruction of the separation of powers, eviscerated all constitutional provisions against a police state, raised the deficit to unprecedented levels, let the guy behind the worst terrorist attack on Americans go unpunished ("dead or alive" vs. "not that concerned about him"), he's outed undercover CIA agents to advance partisan politics, allowed North Korea to advance its nuclear program, allowed Iran to advance its nuclear program, allowed 2 mutually hostile nations (India and Pakistan) to become full-fledged nuclear states without enhancing the diplomacy necessary to prevent a nuclear conflict, he oversaw the hugely ineffective creation of the DHS, he opposed a commission into figuring out what went wrong before, before flip-flopping and supporting them, then stonewalling them, then ignoring their common-sense, non-partisan conclusions, and he's let the US miltary become weaker than ever through overextension, support of torture as a policy, weakened benefits for veterans, shortfalls in equipment production, and pretty much everything else you can do to NOT support the troops....
Seriously, all you Bush lovers, dont' bother digging me down - I'd rather that you name ONE THING he's done right.
And before any of you mention it: Clinton got a blowjob, Michael Moore is fat, so ***** what, and before you say "but, but Clinton...", he's been out of office for 6 years you ***** retards. I don't ***** care.
Just name ONE thing he's done right. One thing that has definitely benefited most Americans and/or America as a whole. One. One thing that is clear and can be supported by facts from the real world (i.e. killing Zarqawi, capturing Saddam don't count, because things are demonstrably worse since then). One thing that's clearly made this a better world to live in.
Oh, maybe that ocean nature refuge around Hawaii. Ok, one thing that you actually care about. - ThreeE, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Hopefully 900 days is enought time to pull a regime change on Syria, Iran, and North Korea.
- digitalgreek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3900 days before cheney is president :-(
- Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Too old.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2LOL there it goes
- Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Eaither Howard Dean (D), Mit Romney (R from Massachusetts), or Myself (Whig).
- chriskzoo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6While I agree that Bush's Approval rating might be 40% nationally, it's probably around 20% here on Digg (though I support him) simply because the majority of the traffic on Digg is from people who don't realize what a threat Islamo-facism is. They will never live peacefully in this world, and therefore must be killed (the Islamic nuts, hot the Digg users :-) )
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yeah? how so?
- mingistech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'd really like for someone to make a Dashboard Widget for OSX that counts down like this. :)
- neozeed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is innacurate... we all know he'll just be king afterwards.
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Because, ya know, he can run for a 3rd term.
- Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Maha! Buried for innacurate.
- rickpable, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Definitely dugg that, couldn't have said it better myself.
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"ANY president would have responded to the attacks on 9/11 like Bush did"
No, I think any rational president would have kindly told the children in the classroom that he had some official business to attend to and left the school. Just sayin... - wm2010russ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3economic crisis? our economy is doing amazing... what hints of an "economic crisis" are you referring to?
- Leviathan777, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I know what you mean, but god save us if you are right.
- killerofkiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Technicly you can be president for 10 years.. aka you're Vice president for 2 years, pres die, you are pres for 2 years then get re elected twice. any more than 2 and it doesnt work
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i donno, having an overweight trigger happy zombie might be kinda fun.
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"economic crisis? our economy is doing amazing... what hints of an "economic crisis" are you referring to?"
Oh, I don't know, how about the ever-growing deficit in excess of a trillion dollars, which just 7 years ago was a very large surplus? Though we're not hurting for it now (at least not in the sense that you speak of), it's something that will come back to haunt us when the countries who we're borrowing from come to collect. - bchang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ok so are we in the Digg community stating that people do not have the right to a political view and that although we have a politics section only one party can be portrayed.
- strom, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5900 days.... Plenty of time to invade a few more countries!
- sahaskatta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Backwards Bush Countdown - Yahoo! Widget: http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=40078
- aplusplus, on 10/12/2007, -11/+11Well, not a republican; that's for sure.
- chriskzoo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Wait, I thought W was the world's worst terrorist? Surely a man with that reputation would not just step down and allow the American people to elect a new President...
- nixr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Although I too can't wait for Mr. Bush to leave office, I find myself dreading the decades-long aftermath of his presidency. How long will it take for this country to regain some sense of legitimacy among the global community? How long will it take to reconcile the various conflicts that we no doubt will still be involved in? How long will it take to repair the damage that has been done to our infrastructure as a result of his errant policies? How long will it take to accomplish all of this with a polarized House, Senate, and public at large where there is no shortage of vultures to swoop down and take advantage of the chaos Mr. Bush leaves in his wake?
- jonthegamer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You never know, He may go duck hunting and "accidentally" shoot someone else or why not just accidentally shoot a missile and destroy the whole world ;)
