“Who besides Washington and Lincoln is better than Bush?”
You know, I can see that just as we have Obama koolaid drinkers we have Bush koolaid drinkers. I could refute your arguments and then you would respond and it would go on forever. I’m not beholden to any man or woman politically. I’m beholden to ideas that started with people like John Hume, Adam Smith and Edmund Burke. Ideas that were put into practice by our founding fathers. If you want to make excuses for all of Bush’s failings you are free to do so. However I will take up the above point with you. You asked me to name ones that are better than Bush.
How about the other guys on Mount Rushmore? Roosevelt and Jefferson? How about Jackson? How about Reagan? How about Truman? Heck, I might even put Kennedy in there. I might put Ike in there. He found he could not get anything conservative passed so he mostly had 8 years of gridlock and played golf. That would be better than some of the things that Bush has done.
Niether am I, but I have my faves. Lincoln, Washington, and Bush43 are my faves. Clinton, FDR, and Carter are the opposite end of the spectrum.

Not all, there are some things I disagree with. My biggest disagreement with him was the Chinese takedown of our spyplane for instance. We should have sent in the fleet.

I disagree with his company-busting...let the market decide. Plus he undercut Wilson in time of war.
and Jefferson?
Hypocrite and backstabber and liar about George Washington. Blasphemed the Old Testament by writing his own leaving out what he disagreed with.
How about Jackson?
Trail of Tears...had to be a better way. A question of his duels also. Was one of them murder?
How about Reagan?
Would not fight terrorists. Left our agents in Lebanon out to dry. Huge gas tax. 4th best though, set the stage for Bush. Great on cutting government other than the gas tax.
How about Truman?
Class warfare.
Heck, I might even put Kennedy in there.
Indecisive, left our Cuban allies out to dry. Great against the mafia/unions though...best Democrat by far.

I'd rather have tax cuts rather than nothing.
All presidents have their problems, but Bush has the big things right: trade, war, taxes, human rights.
