Bush: Sorry I Didn’t Privatize Social Security

George W Bush

And just like that the worst President ever is back in the news.

Former President George W. Bush signaled on Thursday that he sees not privatizing Social Security as his greatest failure from the eight years he served in the White House, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The unpopular Republican leader made the suggestion while speaking at a trade conference in the Windy City, where he discussed his legacy and also offered a glimpse into what readers can expect from his forthcoming memoir, Decision Points.

‘I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities,’ explained Bush. ‘In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.’

Yes, if you pretend away the worst terror attack in U.S. history and the unnecessary invasion of Iraq that allowed Al Qaeda and the Taliban to flourish, Bush kept us safe for the domestic anthrax attack and the drowning of New Orleans.

Bush can look at the total meltdown of assets in the charade called Wall St and the global banking chaos, with the benefit of hindsight, and wish he had your retirement and America's well-being involved in that house of cards.

What a complete asshole. The guy double downs on known f*ck-ups.
