I'm no Bush-Butt-Lackey, but I don't see how he can personally be to blame for a broken system. Didn't he inherit it?

Yes, I'll admit it's 6 months old. But I also showed newer articles showing that Bush threatened vetoes of raises, weird rationality as to why the Feds. won't pay the guard the same pay as active (which when I was in the guard got the same pay as active, when they were active. When they were weekenders they got a prorated salary.
Inherited it? After 3 years in office and a congress of his party that has shown they will pass anything he wants, he couldn't change the system and make it better?
Come on that is a lame fucking excuse. I can see Bush and his cronies using it. Just as now in election year as this stuff comes out he's claiming he'll do more for them, but hasn't he had since Jan of 01 to do it?
What has stopped him? OOO he's been too busy giving tax cuts and budgeting in Haliburton contracts.
Of course Bush made a lot of promises in '00 and never did shit to see them happen, but he brings them out again this year. My favorite is Private retirement funds to help Social Security. I liked the idea in '00 but he hasn't done shit to do it. Now he is still using it? What stopped him from doing it in his first term? But I digress and get off topic.
