Before he was murderous, he was, is and always will be a moron. Here's a list of actions taken by not-soon-enough-to-be-ex-President Bush during his first 6 months as Oval Orifice. Some highlights:
* Cut $35 million in funding for doctors to get advanced paediatric training.
* Cut by 50% funding for research into renewable energy sources.
* Blocked rules that would require federal agencies to offer bilingual assistance to non-English speaking persons. This, from a candidate who would readily fire-up his Spanish-speaking skills in front of would-be Hispanic voters.
* Cut funding by 28% for research into cleaner, more efficient cars and trucks.
* Reduced by 86% the Community Access Program for public hospitals, clinics and providers of care for people without insurance.
* Proposed to eliminate a federal program designed to help communities (and successfully used in Seattle) prepare for natural disasters.
Plenty of foreshadowing here and even more so in the complete list.
