Bush has a lot to live down before anyone will be interested in listening to what his new policy think tank will have to say.

I agree ... wholeheartedly.

This is a backdoor attempt to bring more liberal ideas into the marketplace and the economy. The name is a shame, he has already provided his bona fides in this area.

It is not ‘Small Government’. Small on a gigantic galactic size maybe.

Stalin makes Mussolini look like a wonderful option, eh?

New lettering on the building:

Just doing the job Americans are unwilling to do”

On another note, the Big Bad Wolf has set up a foundation to provide housing for homeless pigs.

Nothing can do that. GW Bush goes down with Carter as one of the worst presidents in history... Obama to follow. Sad because September 11 gave him close to a blank check.

Bush’s bad domestic policies pale in comparison to the Chosen One’s.

I disagreed with his "compassionate conservatism" narrative because it really was just an excuse for a little less big government than what the Democrats full-blown socialism would have been.

Rush defines compassion not as how many are being helped by the government, but as how many do not need government help. I think he's on to something.

Good post!

Pay no attention to the Bush-bots. They still watch tapes of GW from October 2001 and dream he didnt end in disaster.

“Bring it on” were the famous GW Bush words and they did, and did. Moron!

I don’t know what to say... Bush left office with me feeling very resentful on how the last 8 years had gone.

Our politicians try tooooooooo hard to be alike and just slightly different.

Where are the strong of heart politicians that stand for the Constitution and ‘We The People’ ...

instead of the ones who want all ‘We The People’ have for themselves.

You can have Carter, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and 0bama. I’d take Bush right now in a heartbeat.

I'd rather have another Coolidge, not a Republican LBJ.

RE :"I’d take Bush right now in a heartbeat." (Chi-townChief;)

Yikes, you do love pain... I actually LIKE seeing democrats poll numbers drop after 4 years of going up. I actually like seeing voters mad at democrats instead of republicans. I actually like seeing democrats responsible for something instead of republicans for everything (for eight years).

Having everyone hate republicans, conservatives, capitalists, freedom was getting old, but to each his own..

Of course - I would too. But with Bush, at least we would be trying to get tax cuts to “stimulate” the economy rather than Barry’s money-grab. And some of the more liberal agenda items, the ‘rats would oppose just for the sake of opposing them. Think NAFTA - if the ‘rat Clinton didn’t get elected, it would never have been approved.
