Fine, but give the man his due on terrorism. I don’t trust Obama one whit on that. As for his foreign policy experience, he has already blinked twice - once with the Medvedev missile announcement and now with the call from Poland’s leader. He’ll show, like the Democrats did with Vietnam, that the U.S. cannot be depended on as an ally. Shame, shame, shame if that happens.
No way he’s anywhere close to Carter. He did have the tax cuts, after all, and he is right about terrorism.
Plus, we can put the blame for the problems with Iran today squarely at the feet of Jimmy Carter. And that could mean the end of the world. Thanks, Jimmy (with support from Biden).
W has been mistreated and blamed for everything including the weather and IT’S WRONG...and I have said so all along
GW Bush never fought back to defend himself these past 8 years. He gladly accepted blame for all acts of God and nature. He took credit for all good and bad politics.. GW Bush has made the world a better place. He pitched a perfect strike in yankee stadium post 9/11 and restored our hope. God bless this good man.
Oh, I agree. He’s light years ahead of his follower, I think he’s a kindly soul, and he came through at a very tough time, doing what he thought was best instead of necessarily what was best for him.
BTTT
Friends don’t let friends keep driving the country in the wrong direction.
It is too late to impeach his term would end before the House could hear the charges.
War Crimes trial is another possibility and so is him and other top members of his Administration along with top military officers being turned over to the world court.
George is the reason we are in this predicament with the communist Obama.
George has been one of the worst leaders and he ruled like a Democrat.
No Child Left Behind
Prescription Drugs for all Seniors
Farm Bill
Ethanol
No Border enforcement
Pro-amnesty
Expansion of government
Enthusiastic about and pushed for unqualified minorities getting sub-prime loans
Bush was also a poor judge of the people he placed in charge. He wholeheartedly congratulated the Dems when they took Congress in 2006 and now he has been the same with this greatest threat to our Democracy in our life times - Obama.
Americans that don't watch the political scene closely can no longer tell any difference between the parties and only blame whoever is in power for a bad economy.
If Republicans don't wake up and see Bush's “leadership” as one of the major causes of our current bad situation, we are in a lot of trouble in the future.
wouldn’t surprise me to see the lefty loonies try something.

If Bush had been POTUS in WW2 we'd be under joint Imperial/Nazi rule today or still fighting the war while every contractor made a stinking buck off of it.
The man knows nothing about fighting a war and knew even less about declaring such and giving a clear and precise military mission to expedite and get out ASAP with a military victory. Patton, McArthur and other Generals would not have put up with what he did in Iraq. They knew better. They knew what was required on the battlefield and even FDR had enough brain cells to listen to them. Thanks to W, Clinton and W's Poppy Iran is testing us again. What does Iran have to fear? Hammer and nails with new infrastructure headed there way paid for by U.S.?
Bush is LBJ the Second on domestic issues. But wait there is an extra added bonus. For ALL who said a Bush is right in time of war, you or either with us or the terrorist, and all his other one liners well the worse is yet to come. For all who cheered when The Smirking One had his morons seeking databases to collect data on law abiding citizens down to you visiting FR, or had the GOP RINO's in congress expand Executive Powers to levels unprecedented since Lincoln this is for you. Obama will now be enjoying what some Party loving clowns thought were swell ideas because Da Smirking One or his Morons thought of the idea.
Now tell me again what a great president he was. He finished what Poppy and Clinton started by taking this nation to a left position Teddy Kennedy could have only wished came true. He said he and Gore we not that far apart on most issues and By Golly they weren't. Johnson/Carter/ and Da Bushs the worse three presidents in over 150 years all in the span of a living generation.
Bush could have been miles above Reagan. Bush should have been able to surpass the Reagan Legacy. Instead he squandered a six year two house majority he had and increased China's military risk level to us many fold. But hey some corporations made a buch doing this so it's all OK right? Even Russia military wise is back on the mend as is the idea of once again having a Communist state in Europe as well. The Bush's and Bill Clinton along with DEM and especially the 1995-2007 GOP majority leadership in congress {who knew better} have all wizzed away the Reagan Legacy and some think we should now thank them? What Bush and the 1994 elected majority done is a disgarace that we may never as a nation recover from. They abandoned the fight for our nation and I don't mean the war in Iraq either.
FDR came under a lot of critizism so much so an ammendment to the Constitution was added to prevent another FDR.
AMENDMENT XXII Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
The dozen or so that still exist, that is.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
That’s ridiculous.
Jimmuh Cahtuh was a complete and abysmal failure of a president, both foreign and domestic. Bush did a superb job overseas, from Kyoto to the WOT. And he did plenty of things right at home too from taxes to not punishing business with global warming nonsense.
We’re still paying for the Cahtuh years.
You’ve seen through Bush for certain.
Can you imagine if after 9-11 with all the political clout at his disposal, Bush would have said:
“In order for the US to be safe, we will secure our borders. We must know who is in our country and who is entering our country. If you are here illegally, you must leave at once.”
“We will be soon be at war, you the American people will have to sacrifice some even as we will be asking many of our service men and women to sacrifice all, so please, cheerfully mow your own lawn if need be, clean your own home, and perhaps you may have to pay a nickel more for your oranges. These are the least of the sacrifices your country can ask of you.”
Actions and statements like these would have put him well on the way to being our Greatest President.
He was dealt a situation that called for greatness and he failed us miserably.
Now foreigners, who have been made citizens, are deciding the outcome of our elections and they are voting for socialism.
Maybe so, but he was our President duly elected and so deserves far more respect from those who elected him than he gets.
Every item on your list is an act of Congress, you know, the bunch with the lowest approval rating since ratings were discovered.
Yes, a Republican controlled Congress and with Bush signing every one of those bills. He's supposed to be the leader. He failed the country.
One I failed to list was McCain-Feingold. Bush should have said "unconstitional" "override me if you dare."
McCain-Feingold.
Interestingly, that bill may in some small way had a little to do with defeating one of the authors. In my President’s defense, he supported those in Congress, realizing he was not the last bastion of defense for a nation. What the Congress passed was the will of the people “so to speak”, and he chose not to attempt to change or thwart their work.
