No. I still have a neutral opinion of him.

Wars were stupid and expensive. I also don't like lies to the country such as, "We are 100% certain Iraq has weapons of mass destruction."

Sort of like what is happening now. We are in a repeat president-wise.

However, I now know that he did orchestrate 9/11, that along with the Patriot Act, and paying for Medicare Prescriptions has changed my opinion of him drastically. With that said, he was still better than what we have now. The gov't against the people will continue, unless we are smart enough to elect Ron Paul, but we aren't, so Marshall Law and Fema Camps are just around the corner.
If I had to accept a republican again, Ron Paul would be my first choice for sure.

Are you serious? Obama is much worse, he has and continues to spend us into oblivion, he skirts Congress at every opportunity, sues his own states, and should be impeached for Fast and Furious along with Holder. He's a national disgrace. Compared to Obama, George W can hold his head high. Bush did more for African Americans, the fight against AIDS, and the continent of Africa than any other President to date.

No, my opinion of him will never change. I still think he stole the first election from Al Gore. I do think it's wise that he stays pretty much low key.

I thought he was a piece of garbage the day he left office, still think he's a piece of garbage.

Don't forget the EO 13492 to provide Guantanamo Bay detainees with soccer fields, prayer rugs and Korans.

Dude, there is one poster on here who has pointed out repeatedly the geopolitical goals of the U.S. in great detail and I'd have to say 95% of the posters quite literally refuse to even fact check what they've said.

The presidents have to lie to the American public because they're pretty much in self-delusion mode all day everyday.

It might be different if the American people could hear something and then have a honest debate about it but the American people are acting like 3 year old brats when anything remotely mentions giving up some of their lifestyles so that the rest of the world can have just a little better lifestyle. It's like you told them you were going to throw grandma off the cliff to ask them to give up their 3,481 discretionary oil byproducts.

It's not about giving up a little to help other countries improve their living standards. It's about payoffs. As Ron Paul says, they take from the poor in this country, to give to the rich in other countries.
Haiti is a case in point. We spend a lot of money in that country, but it's not to help the people, it's to keep them down.

Yup. I dislike him even more now that I have educated myself on things that he did.

It's really, really sad to see how the vast majority of people in the United States of America do not realize how evil the republican party is; they are totally in bed with the military industrial complex or military defense industry and they love wars, not because they are "defending America" like they want us to believe but because wars mean profit for them; and people don't see this; they took us to war to make money, to make billions of dollars for their own pockets; that is totally evil; that is trading blood for money; most of republicans claim to be "christians", well reality is other; all republicans are very evil and very liers; they belong to the devil.
