Yes, Bush took most of his 8 years off. Way more than Obama. It just seems that people notice when Obama is taking a vacation but didn't seem to care when Bush did.
Not much to say to this other than bull...., this country is so in love with this president that they are most likely not going to point out the bad. Even the spin doctors can't keep up with this guy.
What are his approval ratings? I'm glad I didn't vote for this one....
A recent presidential poll lists the favorite presidents of the American people as follows:
2. Ronald Reagan, Republican, (Not my favorite, but I have to admit the guy connected well with the American people).
4. George H. W. Bush, Republican, (I liked him. He's the last Republican I ever voted for as President)
6. Jimmy Carter, Democrat, (A very moral man who has done many good works in his life. Unfortunately, his Presidency involved the Hostage Crisis and a severe economic recession that made his reelection impossible)
For me, when Bush senior and Reagan conspire to supply Iran weapons if they hold the hostages, amounts to no less than treason. This is their lasting legacy for which they will never be held accountable... what a shame.
trea·son
–noun 1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state.
3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.
Iran-Contra is one of the worst things this country has ever done and everyone involved should be rotting in a cell. Big Papa Bush is not my friend. **** Ollie North while we're at it.
Jimmy Carter... If only he hadn't bailed on Nader's consumer protection agency.
A recent presidential poll lists the favorite presidents of the American people as follows:
1. John F. Kennedy, Democrat, (Great orator and speaker, but overrated by any measure)
2. Ronald Reagan, Republican, (Not my favorite, but I have to admit the guy connected well with the American people).
3. Bill Clinton, Democrat, (I actually think he was a good, not great President)
4. George H. W. Bush, Republican, (I liked him. He's the last Republican I ever voted for as President)
5. Gerald Ford, Republican, (A really decent guy who was an accidental President. He might have been very good if he had been elected to a term of his own)
6. Jimmy Carter, Democrat, (A very moral man who has done many good works in his life. Unfortunately, his Presidency involved the Hostage Crisis and a severe economic recession that made his reelection impossible)
7. George W. Bush, Republican, (I can't stand him. He started at least one war that he shouldn't have that cost this country a trillion dollars. His Presidency was marked by a "divisiveness" where he believed if he had one more vote in Congress than his opponents than 100% of his agenda should prevail. He never seemed to understand that effective politicians compromise. In the end his presidency was marked by a 30% approval rating and widespread vilification)
8. Richard Nixon, Republican, (a strangely effective President who was utterly immoral. His deep paranoid instincts are probably what lead to the Watergate cover-up which destroyed his Presidency)
Oh where to start. So you dislike Nixon because he was immoral, but Clinton and Kennedy get a pass? Interesting. And Carter gets a pass, not because of anything HE did, but because of the times. And you hate GW Bush, yet he entered into a war that Congress supported, and you think he was thwarted re his agenda only because he lacked one vote. Have you even noticed the guy in charge now? He has the votes, and he's shoving away. And if he doesn't have votes, he legislates by appointment.
We'll see how history sees these guys down the road. They've haven't been out of office long enough to see the reality. Heck, most of them are still alive.
I also question this poll, since there's nobody on there earlier than Kennedy.
