W knew, as anybody did following politics, that the worldy beasts had set up Zero from at least ‘02.
Presidents have to think way out, like in 50 yr terms.
W saw the left taking over as a ‘natural response to war’ (for the left and Paulites) and let it happen. It was going to happen, anyway.
It’s a credit to W that he knew America would make Zero a one-term freak presidency. He appealed to the patriotic nature in everybody, everyday as a matter of course.
Compare this to an Usurper who knew the jig was up about a year into his ‘presidency’. He appeals to the slugs of America, and is damned proud of it.

George W Bush is my age, his father, Ambassador, head of the CIA, Vice Pres, Pres. GWB did for sure know what was to come, e.g. B,O.
But that is not an excuse, if your values are right, to not clearly speak out on the imminence and deep deep tragedy of Leftism. Especially if you have the bully pulpit for many years.
GWB is my age and we have some things in common. In the personal idiom I love GWB as an individual and would want him as a friend, But can never forgive him for not articulating what has come on, and fighting it with every breath of his body. One simply can not carry one's principles around in a political bag.
He knew what was going down and said nothing. Human dignity, mine, yours, our fellows, is the great privilege of living one's own decisions and trusting others to do the same. It was the great revelation of America.
When one is in a position to say so, so that others, decades and centuries on may come to realize it, one does not recant. There have been many through human history who did not retreat, say Socrates, Christ, Luther.
It's going to take some mighty heroics to bring America back, if it happens at all. God help us to find those people, and God help GWB for not being one. It is not like many of us even here on FR did not see it.
