OK, let me simplify this for you since you numbered them:
1 - Who is on the brink of bankruptcy?
Assuming you mean the country (and by that you mean 'debt') - what was the last year the US wasn't in debt financially? And how is this entirely Bush's fault? Congress has a lot to blame for the way our national debt has skyrocketed during his Presidency, granted that Congress was Republican controlled during a big portion of his term. But this is not "Bush's fault" as Congress had just as much, if not more, to do with it than the President did.

2 - What does this have to do with Bush? Is he controlling the stock market and oil futures? Did he call China upon taking the oath of office and tell them to increase their demand on a monumental scale? Has he voted time and time against drilling in ANWAR?

3 - So the President is now responsible for military funding all by himself as well? I thought there were Congressional oversight committees for all of military spending? I mean, they vote on the budgets and they oversee it, but somehow it's all Bush's fault.

4,5 - I'm still waiting for a link on that LIE you keep screaming about? This is the third time I've asked for it and you keep ignoring it.

6 - LOL, rhetoric, simply hate-filled rhetoric. While I will agree with you that Bush isn't the most intelligent President we've ever had, he's far from stupid.

7 - Does Vietnam ring a bell? Bush poorly planned this war. The invasion was performed almost flawlessly, but the planning for a post-Saddam overthrow was piss poor. The surge was about 3 years overdue. He has made several mistakes, but the progress made in the past 18 months have been because he had the right people in place and he listened to them.

8 - Yawn...

9 - What does this have to do with his Presidency being a failed one? Absolutely nothing, it only further emphasizes your hatred for Bush and why reality doesn't register with you.

10 - This is your first point reworded - nice try though

11 - He has tried to do something about gas prices. But this is also closely tied to questions 1 and 10, yet again. The difference is that the free markets will all work this out in time. Any knee jerk reaction now will only make matters worse. But again, refer to my answer to your first question.

12 - Did Bush make people go out and buy homes that they couldn't afford and sign ridiculous loan terms with a variable interest rate? Nope, but because they did, you blame Bush? Wow, just wow.

13 - Yawn, do you really think the President of the United States takes a vacation like you or I do? He spends most of his time on vacation working. I used to have a job like that, but not anymore. Of course I'm sure the fact that he works a vast majority of his time on vacation doesn't matter, right?

14 - If closing VA Hospitals will improve the quality if care at the remaining VA Hospitals, then I'm all for it. Have you ever been to a VA Hospital or tried to be treated at one? The VA itself needs some serious repair. But if you think this all started with Bush, you aren't looking very far.

15 - See my response to #12. People can't manage their money. But once again, this is somehow all Bush's fault. I'm noticing a pattern here...

16 - Bush works for these companies that are buying this crap from China? That's news to me. I mean maybe he should be held responsible for everything that happens, right? Essentially that's exactly what you are doing.

17 - Bush borrowed money from China? Got a link?

18 - Questions 1 and 10 reworded into this - yawn

19 - LOL - how exactly has Bush hurt the automotive industry? The unions, along with inept management at the "Big 3" have ruined the US auto industry. The Foreign companies are making a better product for less and this is Bush's fault? This has been going on for years and years. Paying some guy $26 bucks an hour to screw in a side view mirror is what's killing the US auto industry. My family worked for Chrysler and I know what went on there. This is yet one more "point" of yours that completely falls on it's face.

20 - I have no idea what you are trying to say here, but I'm sure it's just more BS along with a vast majority of the rest of your "points".

Look, I get it - you don't like Bush. But your reasoning behind it is fatally flawed. You blame him for everything and this simply isn't true. The facts don't support most of your rants and it's clear that you simply don't care. So go ahead and keep on hating Bush, because it won't matter in a few months. He will no longer be in office and we can look forward to whoever the next President is being the worst President ever. Politicians are going to screw us all. It doesn't matter if they have a 'D' or 'R' next to their name. They care more about themselves and getting re-elected than they ever could about the people they represent. Bush's Presidency hasn't gone as well as most of us hoped, but it isn't a total disaster and he isn't responsible for everything that goes bad as you have been led to believe.
