So instead of a picking a man who made an honest mistake due to misinformation from the CIA and other intelligence sources, you would take a man who outright lied to the public about an affair?
You liberals are unbelievable... How can a man doing everything in his power to keep you and I free and safe get shot down so harshly by the biased media, while some scumbag like Clinton who actually did LIE to our faces gets praised by everyone?
You cannot blame bush for the cause of 9/11, that stage was set well before his administration.
I miss Bush's intelligence especially when he would use terms like "misunderestimated" or "nucular", not bad for a Harvard graduate .
I also miss his deep understanding of constitutional and legislative matters. We need more intellectual presidents like Bush.
^^ you are so shallow. Some of the most intelligent people in the world have trouble speaking well and enunciating.
Some of the least intelligent people I know are the ones who use smoke and mirrors and are well spoken even though they know absolutely nothing about the real world.
Bush did some things right and some things wrong but he wasn't as good as his supporters think or as bad as his detractors paint him.
Yes, what this person said. Just as Obama is not as great as supporters think and not nearly as bad as critics think. We would be a hell of alot better off if all of us would accept this.
This current administration makes me miss every other president who served during my lifetime, except Carter.
On a serious note, I feel like a lot of things Bush originally intended to do all got chucked out the window on 9/11. A lot of domestic policies he signed in seemed like either gridlocked compromises or blatant bargaining chips due to his every mental resource being dedicated to security. Can you imagine what it would do to you to have 9/11 happen on your watch? No wonder he wasn't thinking clearly!
I do agree with posters before me who have said that he was at least genuine. We can't prove it, but I really believe that Bush truely believed in the things he said. He spoke quickly and jumbling over words, telling me that he really wanted to get out what he was thinking and what he felt. Obama speaks slowly with big pauses; I don't know about you, but the only time I speak like that is when I'm walking on glass trying to say something I think we sit with everyone well, not exactly what I'm thinking.

Agreed, the partisans on both sides exaggerate.
Bush set the ground work for 0bama, with huge government spending, and allowing the TARP and bailouts to go thru, but 0bama is doubling down on it all. Bush may have left us with a leaky water pipe in the basement, but 0bama made it worse, he has flooded the basement, and now has a fire smoldering in the attic.
No, I think they're probably romanticizing his time as President, just as the OP is doing. The grass is always greener on the other side.
lol The grass is not always greener on the other side.
