Hmmm, I would say he was more than lending comfort and shelter to the enemy.
I'm still not certain there wasn't collusion on 9/11, and with Bush 41 on the board of Carlyle, I would add "war profiteering" to the charges.

I think he's far better than the President we currently have. The abject failure of leadership of Obama stands in stark contrast to the positive leadership under GWB.
Prior to Obama, Jimmy Carter was the acknowleged "worst President". I don't know how anyone (uless they weren't living at the time) could say that Bush was worse than Carter. Nothing was worse than Carter before Obama.

Now, Obama easily is the owner of that title. Obama is far worse than Carter, and as my wife says, Jimmy Carter may have been stupid, but he wasn't evil. Obama is evil.

Obama has put the country in grave danger. He MUST be defeated. I'm afraid another four years of this idiot will spell the end of America as we have known it, and also the end of freedom for mankind. There is no other place on earth for us to go.

So has anyone's opinion of him changed and why?

I wasn't particularly a huge fan of his. I've read his book Decision Points and while I am sure it was meant to put him in a positive light, some of his contributions seemed very beneficial to the country, to minorities, and other groups. They just were overshadowed by Iraq and 9-11.
I doubt many could have done any better given the cirumstances of 911. Imagine if Obama was in the office then?

We wouldn't have invaded the wrong country? I know, terrible thought.

This is not about Carter or Obama, but both were MUCH better presidents than Bush. "W" was a complete disaster in every possible way. NO ONE has damaged this nation more than Bush.

Too bad we can't just erase him and his presidency from US history-

WMD, indeed.

It's hard to find anyone these days who wil confess to voting for W. I'm beginning to think either Jeb Bush rigged the whole thing, or W elected himself...

GWB is probably one of the biggest failed leaders in the history of this country. Did he do a single thing right, that actually mattered, while he was in office?
