One thing is for sure---we had no other terrorists attacks when Bush was in office. Since Obama has been in we had the Times Square guy, the underwear guy, and the Ft. Hood guy. Only by pure luck and incompetence the first 2 didn't work.

doesn't prove anything and conservatives wished for terror attacks and they got their wish
i need proof of many conservatives media outlets that actually disagreed with him that has a large following and influences its base
This is just a case of reality in today's society. If a (hometown) football team is doing well, then the QB is doing well. If the weather is great, then the weatherman is great. You don't start to really hear the criticism until things go bad. I know that there are critical statements, articles, comments, etc. at all times... but they get drowned out during the good times. Nobody is going to listen to the 1 skeptic.
Ron Paul was a lone wolf in this regard. Did you watch the 2008 GOP debates? He was attacked at all angles, and cornered by the other candidates.
It's like those toothpaste commercials: 4 out of 5 dentists recommend Colgate... Ok, but what about the 5th dentist? What does he say? I want to know!
He had most people in his corner right after 9/11. He really did a good job on that.
Hey, just protecting his base - 7 ways!
Spoliator Extraordinaire!
"1. Saddam Hussein was removed as an obstacle to the oil industry, which the Bush crime family is heavily invested in, getting control of Iraq's "suddenly uprated" oil supplies.
2. The demolition of WTC7, which was executed under cover of the attacks, meant that records supporting the SEC's case against Enron, which Bush's longstanding friendship with Enron CEO Ken Lay left him susceptible to was, in an instant, vaporized.
3. CIA records, which could easily have included the G.H. W. Bush's longstanding covert CIA activities were, similarly, vaporized in an instant.
4. Bush was able to begin what is now known to be an illegal war against Iraq, in which he not only got access to Iraq's oilfields, but that Cheney's KBR and Halliburton scammed billions of dollars by allegedly "rebuilding" it.
5. The illegal invasion of Iraq also allowed Cheney's companies to make billions of dollars by "supporting" the US and allied militaries. (Some of that "support," of course, included poisoning and electrocuting US warriors.)
6. Bush got to implement the PATRIOT Act, which gave him an extraordinary amount of personal control by fiat over the country's society, commerce and economy.
7. Bush's War on Terror scared people into re-electing him for a second term."
A lot of people think the same thing about Bush. I think he was a good president. he was never going to win over the liberals or the media, especially after the recount vs Gore.
He was the perfect president to have for 9-11. I'm sure that his father helped him out directly or indirectly (past experiences, etc.)
Notice his comment about speaking publicly. get to the point, & keep it simple. He is right when he says that that is a better way to communicate to the people. People knew where he was coming from. And, he gave us a few laughs along the way
I doubt Dad offered any immediate advice as he was in a business meeting with the Bin Laden family when the planes struck the WTC.
But, maybe it was his suggestion to let a plane fly around the country picking up members of the Saudi royal family and Bin Laden's before taking them back to Saudi Arabia while every other plane was grounded.
WOW, it is so interesting. Hearing Bush's take on things. I will definitely buy his book for a Christmas present for my hubby.
Hannity interview? You are doing that on purpose? Bush is doing several interviews, I am sure you could find on a little more fair and balanced.
