How he would stu stu stutter like an idiot on the podium couldn't even speak right let alone run the country!!!!
How disgusting his fake smile and hand waves were to everyone knowing or maybe not even knowing what the hell he was doing behind those closed doors at the White House
The signing of the Frank/Dodd - 2005 Home Ownership Act of America, which brought us the bank failures, housing collapse, and the brink of destruction.
And the fact that he was so bad that America now has a full fledged Socialist in charge.
The Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama dynasty. 21 years and counting. Will Free America survive?
I will remember that he protected the country, and I felt secure, and the economy, for most of his two terms was robust. Not so with Obama. I feel threatened, not only from him, but from our external enemies, and our economy is down the tubes. It will be years before we recover, and things continue to get worse. I wonder if America will ever be the same again. I don't think so.
Uh, didn't the most deadly attack on American soil ever happen under Bush's watch? And didn't the economy begin to suck before Obama took office?
Biggest Liberal president we had till the O man. Spend spend spend and do nothing good for the country! Took away more of our freedoms than all his predecessors. Number one worst president till now. That is till Obama beats his record.
Believe me, I'm not a fan of Bush but the de facto freedoms he took away were nothing compared to some of the laws Woodrow Wilson passed.
Actually, Bush DID win the election of 2000. 270 electoral votes were required to win and he won 271.
And what (of the many) recount showed that Al Gore "won the election?"
Gore never lead the vote count in Florida. Never.
Bush was elected by the people fair and square. And it was Gore who went running to the Supreme Court.
I'll remember he too embraced big government which is always wrong and definitely antithetical to conservative beliefs. I'll also remember he defended this country following 911. In doing so he liberated 50 million people from the yoke of tyranny. While going to war with Iraq could be seen as a mistake the long term benefits, such as a democracy in the Middle East, one less tin pot dictator, a strong ally in the heart of the Middle East, long term US basing rights in Iraq and the secure sourcing of oil have yet to be fully realized Bush's decision to liberate Iraq was strategically important to the US long term and the right decision. His decision to go in to Afghanistan was warranted, justified and correct also. More attention should have been paid to finishing the job there though but strategically Iraq is more important.

Gosh.
I hope as I get older my memory doesn't get this selectively bad.
I'd hate to wake up one day and remember a lot of things that never happened.
He was the second worst puppet president, Obama was the worst.
How is Obama a puppet? Even if you disagree with him, at least he believes and understands what he says and speaks with conviction. Whether Bush was giving a eulogy or speaking at a graduation, it was all the same; sounds like it was read directly off of a paper for the first time and that was written by someone who had a much stronger sense of vocabulary

How about if you dont like history you can just change it?
With a whitewash like that, I can only wonder your thoughts on more past history. Ronnie Raygun stormed the beaches at Normandy before becoming President.
Oh yea, "strategery", forgot about that. We had to use summa that over in Iraq, di'nt we?
He had the courage of his convictions to stand up to the dems/libs to keep this country safe from another 9/11-style attack.
His policies on the War on Terror have done just that.
In the face of the defeatist behavior from the dems/libs, he did the right thing by keeping troops in Iraq until the conditions on the ground warranted a phased withdrawal.
What you said pretty much wraps up what I feel about Bush, too.
I think it is easy for our countrymen to forget how Bush truly bound this country together after 9/11. He was graceful and eloquent - and his speech to the nation was nothing less than outstanding (and I believe history will review it that way).
I did not feel the invasion of Iraq was the right move, but once we invaded, we had no choice but keep troops on the ground.
