I was thinking it was a good idea to reflect back on past President who didn't actually vote for but instead supported his opponent. Especially, since theses days since people too busy chewing the other guy who might good to consider how someone you didn't like actually did a good job as US President.

My favorite one would be President George W Bush. Good old Dubya did a pretty good job as US president especially since back then I always supported his appointment. He did an amazing job handling the tragic 9/11 attacks. He seemed to have done a better job than even President Obama in many aspects.

George W. Bush was incompetent I say that as a conservative. W didn't do a good job on anything at all and his poor showing led directly to Barack Obama being elected twice. W was good at running up debt, at getting us bogged down in Iraq (we are still there, by the way), and maintaining the deep state status quo. He was an establishment guy who of course now, has endorsed Biden. Deep state guys stick together.

After 8 years of him and 8 more years of "O"..... it was finally time to try it a different way, and enter Donald Trump.

I didn't like or support Reagan back in the day. Looking back now compared to what we have today, he was a godsend, even those last couple of years in office when it appeared he was lost were better than today.

I wish I would have voted for George HW Bush. I can’t even remember the Democrat I voted for.

Zachary Taylor, one of the last presidents to keep us out of war.

Bill Clinton or Dukakis? I forget who I voted for in those years. I didn't like Clinton initially when he was running. I didn't like the Lewinsky Scandal. But I appreciated how Clinton cared for vets (Tricare Healthcare For Life was his plan) and I really like how he handled the war in the Balkans (I was there) as well as handling our national debt.

Afterwards, I like George Bush SR and all he did for the country for his entire life (pilot, congressman, CIA, ambassador, VP, POTUS, Gulf War ----was a great American, imo).

As great as he was, I think Barbara was just as important. The best of the greatest generation.
