Let me know if Bush is coming back, and I'll sell my investments and wait for him to destroy the economy again, and then I'll buy my investments back dirt cheap.
The thing is, when you present baseless arguments like that, it's really hard to come up with intelligent responses. "Bush just loved his country more." You can't measure that. You have absolutely no way of actually knowing that to be true.
Sure you do. Bush didn't vow to transform the nation. Bush didn't go on an apology tour. Bush didn't disrespect our longtime allies. Bush's wife didn't say she wasn't proud of America. Bush doesn't have an autobiography where he says he intentionally sought out counter-culture people to socialize with. Bush didn't give a speech honoring a Marxist.

And he was more supportive of the military? Really? First off, who cares if the president 'supports' the military.
People concerned with national security do.

That literally does not matter, especially if he sends them off to babysit an unstable region of the world. Saying he had military experience (which he didn't) is relevant, especially if it was a high ranking position, but just supporting doesn't mean a thing.
Bush was a pilot in the National Guard. That is military experience.
Sending troops off to babysit unstable regions of the world is part of the whole national security thing.

Plus, do you know how much acting is involved in the president's job. I can pretty much promise you, neither of them are nearly as patriotic or personable as they try and appear.
I have no doubt of that. However, Bush was not caught outright lying to the American people on a consistent basis like Obama has been. Bush did not threaten to ignore Congress and govern by imperial decree with this pen and phone the way Obama did. Bush did not whine and blame Clinton and Democrats for every problem that ever came up the way Obama did.
Neither Bush nor Obama was a good president, but Bush was clearly a more ethical individual than Obama is.

As for who would I rather... ehh. If those are my two options, I think I'll take my chances if Canada until 2016.
I'd prefer neither as well, but the question was which of the two.
Also, Clinton ordered bombings in Iraq and Kosovo without Congressional approval.
So, I didn't support Clinton either. I think both Clintons are two-legged vermin. And I didn't vote for Obama in 2012.
