Bush got a 52-43 thumbs up, while Obama received 49% approval, and 49% disapproval. This result must have left-wingers tearing out their hair. They view W Bush as the anti-Christ, which I always found inexplicable given that W was really mostly a liberal at heart.
Nonetheless this cannot be good news for liberaldom. This is like the zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, etc. finding out that the public now considers the hyena as cuter than you.
This will be the future. Bush is manifestly a better president.
Bush pulled us out of the Clinton recession and kept the economy humming for seven years. There was an economic crash at the end- one which he warned was coming. But for the most part his tenure was very good. Compare that to Obama, who has yet to give us a palpable recovery.
In the post 9/11 environment, when there was a consensus that we should fight our enemies, Bush did so, leaving a free and relatively stable Iraq that could have served as an example for all of the Middle East. Then Obama waltzes in, unilaterally and completely withdraws our troops, and now it is a seething terrorist hot bed. Other regions that were stabilized under Bush such as Russia and Libya have also fallen apart.
Obama has given us one of the most unpopular bills in history in Obamacare.
The future will judge Bush as a likable, capable president who has some hard times and a press that distorted everything he did, and Obama as a disgrace to the office.
Heck, I like the guy better now, too, now that he's doing things more in line with his skill set, like painting amateurish pictures of his toes in the bathtub, and has no access to power. And I'll like him better the longer he stays out of the public eye. In fact, I would really, really, really like the guy if I never had to hear from him again.
