Bush is looking better and better

Ohole must really be putting his foot in it. I know history views with rose colored glasses sometimes, but a lot of people really hated Bush.

I did too, but I still prefer him vastly to the Mooselimb we have now...

People told you to hate Bush.
I remember hearing the left saying you should hate Bush because they did. I had no problem with him.
See what you got now people?

No, 9-11, WTC 7, Iraq, The Patriot Act, wiretapping, massive education cuts to finance Iraq, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, record breaking profits for his oil industry buddies at a time when we're all paying >$4.70 per gallon and being told it's all supply-based, and that shit eating grin every time he told us to "stay the course", told me to hate Bush.

Bush was Obama : the Beta Test. Just not as smart. That was the Cheney/Rove/Rice presidency... an ugly, overbearing hydra oligarchy with a puppet just barely smart enough to be dangerous. Ohole is just carrying on what Bush started.

The only thing Bush had going for him was not elevating gay rights to the level of worship, and not overtly attacking our 2A rights. He just left that to his successor.

I always get sort of a kick out of bashing Bush for being so dumb and yet somehow smart enough to know about (or in some cases masterminding!) 9-11.
Which is it?

OTOH, Obama is the smartest president in history. Just ask him.
He has no idea what is going on with Benghazi, the NSA, fast and furious, the IRS targeting, or how to make jobs, but my God he is smart!

I don't get that either how President Bush could be a moron and beat algore and john fukken kerry in consecutive elections.

I'm no fan of President Bush but he inherited problems that stem back to his father and Klinton allowed these problems to build. President Bush just happened to be the man when these problems finally bloomed.

President Bush is most certainly a better human, a better man, and a better president that the whores fuckstain that currently occupies the seat.

Agreed. Bush will be seen as a mediocre president in the history books and that really is what he was.

What massive education cuts? They spent more on education every damned year -- and I defy you to find me a place in the Constitution that authorizes federal expenditures or involvement in education.

Better check your memory -- gas was never $4.70/gal under Bush except maybe in CA -- it was about $2.80/gal on Jan 20, 2009. Federal gas taxes constituted a larger portion of what you paid at the pump than oil industry profits -- about double if memory serves me right.

As TEAMRICO stated, you hated Bush because you were told to hate Bush and you demonstrate it in the ignorance behind the litany of reasons you hated Bush. I was no fan, still am not, but I also pay no attention to the foil hat garbage spewed by the liberals or self-proclaimed libertarians. I'm sorry to see Rand Paul going down the same crazy path as his father, he seemed a tad more reasonable and balanced until recently.

9-11, WTC 7

I lost a little respect for you just for bringing this up in correlation to GW. I guess people just can't listen to experts in engineering, firefighting and construction... I am so goddamn sick of people spouting this AJ/Loose Change shit about WTC 7... go read the Debunking 9/11 stuff out there, from people who actually know what they're talking about.

Anyway, I digress. Did Bush mishandle 9/11's aftermath? Maybe a little (see: Patriot Act), but his response (see: Afghanistan) was appropriate. Was Bush the worst president ever? Hardly. Was he responsible for the 2008 economic collapse? Not entirely (see: Clinton admin, Fannie and Freddie). If he were running again today and I had to choose between he and Obama, I'd vote for Bush, again.

I never liked Dubya, but I'm under no illusions that he was stupid. You don't graduate from Harvard AND Yale with a room temperature IQ. The blame for 9/11(not the act, but the intel failures) can be laid at the feet of one William Jefferson Clinton; he's the one that gutted the CIA's on-the-ground operations in favor of relying on remote surveillance and electronic data gathering. Regardless, Oblowme will go down as the worst (and potentially last)president in history.

THIS! Clinton had OBL in his sights back in the late 1990's... he could have really gone after him and potentially prevented all this... but then again, he also could have prevented Rwanda, the 2008 housing collapse, and a host of other things, but he was a spineless POS.

As soon as you blamed Bush for 9-11 I said screw you.
Sorry but your a fool if you think he was anything like we have now.
keep wasting time hating Bush. The old Liberal "Blame Bush" is still working on you to make you forget what Obama is doing.
Im not coming back to this topic.

Well, I'll go ahead and reply since human nature dictates that you will check back in and read, even if you don't reply. :-)

Not liking Bush doesn't make me a liberal, it just makes me not a Republican. :-)

But good effort.
