Then, he achieved his objectives.

So what's your problem?

You want someone who is ineffectual?

Someone needs to inform you, as always, that its the states that limited any such recovery from Katrina, and the scheme of things, the handling was actually quite good.. You can pretend it wasnt but I challenge you to list the errors by "Bush".. not the states..

And his handling of the wars are being duplicated by Obama, are you now saying Obamas managing of the wars are a failure?

As for the 9/11 attacks, how else would you have preferred it be handled? We can all sit here and play hindsight, but unless you can list some facts, it comes off as a bunch of hogwash, long on attacks, short on facts...

Bush deserves to have his feet held to the fire. Let's not forget the allegations of lying and fabricating evidence to get us into war. Ousting CIA agents, the "Patriot" Act, warrantless wiretapping, waterboarding, rendition, failure to respond to the New Orleans disaster. Let's not forget about the corporate bailouts either. Oh yeah, he oversaw the largest expansion of the federal government in the entire history of the republic. And, blame Clinton all you want, the largest terrorist attack on American soil took place under his watch.

So yeah, I'd say Bush deserves some scrutiny. After a record like that you know what the "lowest point of his Presidency" was? Kayne West calling him a racist. Please.

Its so sad and pathetic whenever one criticizes Bush it's assumed he's an Obama supporter. Just goes to show the sorry state of politics as well as the brain capacity of the average American. You're either a supporter of one side or the other. Thats whats wrong with our two-party system. It makes it easier to brainwash the gullible masses. I'd imagine that's the intended effect though. I'm not an Obama supporter I'm just a man who makes his own decisions and don't just repeat what some idiot on the radio or the TV tells me to believe.

Bush was a FAILURE. He started a war we couldn't finish over false reasons. The economy tanked. He didn't make a bonafide effort to bring that scumbag Osama to justice. And after getting multiple warnings about Islamists planning to attack us by plane they just let it happen. The list goes on. Anyone who'd defend a proven life-long loser isn't the smartest guy in the world.....

Am I the only one who is sick of the 'Bush bashers'

Nope.

Their preoccupation with the man has cost them the House, diluted the Senate, and put Obama's reelection in jeopardy.

Keep it up I say. Its a splendid strategy.

Ahh and there we go again, ignoring reality while going off on some diatribe. Wars stimulate economies, so your complaint about the wars, and the economy tanking are counter one another.. If you knew anything about economics you'd understand this, but sit here and call other posters stupid, that doesnt make you correct..
