I was never truly a Bush fan......but, I never question that he loved his country.

Yes, I did vote for him.

I would honestly rather have Bush back. I can acknowledge some change was needed after 2008, but Obama was not the way to go. Bush seems to be a better person and more personable. He also loves his country and is more classy. Obama is just a whiner and never gets things done. Bush was also more supportive of our military and would have taken down ISIS by now.
Neither Bush was my favorite, but when stacked up against their opponents, no choice. I voted for both, and given the choice again with the same opponents, I'd do likewise.

I just thought I hated Carter and the Clintons--this is the second administration where I cannot stand either the POTUS or his tacky FL who gets off of Airforce One wearing cutoffs, hiking shoes and hanging out of a tight tank top. BHO didn't look very presidential himself, but at least his clothes were pressed. They knew the media were going to be there, but they could not have cared less what they projected.

They are a complete embarrassment--the Bushes were not--they have class all the way, and were mindful of the office they held.

They broke the mold. We are not ever going to get another like him.

Anyone who would want someone like Bush who was intent on not only destroying our economy but also our military with 1 war that should have ended after 1 year but was forgotten for another war that never should have happened and was seriously bungled from day 1, should have their heads examined. Bush gave the illusion that he loved his country but his actions were the exact opposite. He still is the worst President in history.

He loves this country as well unlike our current Pro golfer in the whitehouse

Lessee...Since Bush (W?) is totally exempt from hold office again the question was moot before asked.

The question could be better worded as such...Who is Barack Obama?

Neither. GW Bush was terrible and Obama has proved himself to be just as bad, if not worse.

Anyone who wants BHO--and his anti-American hatred of the country he is supposed to lead--should also have their heads examined.

I never wanted to see us get involved in Iraq, either, and I wasn't happy when they invaded.

But I hate what this administration has done, period.
