Where'd you pull that from? Some fortune cookie? Even in this ONE poll he is consideribly more unpopular then popular. I see that whole Bush disaster still has you in denial though. Enjoy "reality."

That certainly explains the Bushbots' hatred of Obama.

Voters have a short memory, how else do you explain why we reelect the same people over and over. Maybe history has been re-written since 2008.

I'm sure we'd have felt the glow earlier if this was the only reason.

Hope and change ..... guess the thrill is gone.

I appreciate W staying out of the state of Connecticut.

Now if we could just get BO to do the same .....

George W. Bush


Look for Bush's popularity to continue to increase and for him to take an active roll in campaigning for Republicans.

You heard it here first.
I love W. I never stopped loving W. I would vote for him again. In a heartbeat.

That is never going to happen. The right will never be able to match the army of demagogues, shills, and screamers that the left can deploy. Left-friendly pundit Mark Halperin aptly characterized it as the "left wing freak show."
Halperin: "Left-Wing Freak Show" Trying To Delegitimize Marco Rubio | RealClearPolitics

The right, for example, does not have the capacity to concoct and spread a meme wherein the president is blamed for a storm, and actually make it stick. We don't have the capacity to blame an ex-VP candidate for a shooting by a mentally-ill man in a state thousands of miles away, and actually persuade millions that there might be something to it. We just don't.

This is a timely thread. Did anyone happen to see this piece by a liberal luminary?
Go Ahead, Admit It: George W. Bush Is a Good Man

I've always thought that eventually accede to a rehabbing of their portrayal of W Bush. Historians will be kind to W, if only because so many of the assaults on him were idiotic, like the 'lies about WMD' meme.

But we aren't seeing that.

its a demand problem, not a supply problem. The demand problem is due to the continued after effects of the financial crisis.


More people have gone on disability than have found jobs.

The food stamp president has record levels of people pimping the system.

Food stamps is not a person by person selection. You either meet the requirements or you dont. So how is Obama giving anyone anything ?
