This is fine, as far as it goes. I voted for Bush twice, I don't regret it, and I don't engage in Bush bashing.

But the Republican Party needs to be remade and, frankly, the next iteration should have no room for people like Bush.

[11th Commandment]

Bush is old school in that the President goes home and acts as like a President. Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson. Nixon, Reagan and Bush all acted this way. They supported the office holder because they know the difficulties of the office. There is a story that Eisenhower was at the Kennedy White House for an event. He quietly walked with JFK and schooled him on his fiasco on his handling of th Bay of Pigs invasion. Result, a different Kennedy during the Cuban missile crises.

Excellent!

I think the rise in Bushs’ poll numbers may be connected to the “blame Bush” mantra of the left. Americans are tired of it and the more Democrats do it, the worse they look and the higher Bushs’ poll numbers rise.

Excellent, Kaslin!! Thank you!

RE :”In comparison to Obama and his gaffes, Bush no longer seems the singular clod whom his opponents endlessly ridiculed. The supposedly mellifluent Obama relies on the teleprompter as if it were his umbilical cord. His occasional word mangling (he pronounced “corpsman” as “corpse-man”) and weird outbursts (he recently complained that opponents “talk about me like a dog”) remind us that the pressures of the presidency can make a leader sometimes seem silly. Bush now seems cool because he has played it cool. “

Great, just what we need to de-motivate anti-democrat voters, more Bush cool-aid. Bush is not drawing fire anymore because he has disappeared, much to democrats regret. Recently they have been praising him (even on MSNBC) and asking him to come out and defend Obama on the ground zero Mosque issue, and I appreciate that he has not went for their bait. I always said, Democrats cannot survive without Bush.

I will always remember one of his last acts:

During the six years Bush had a republican Congress, unemployment was near historic lows and the economy was strong. During the nearly two years Obama has had a democrat Congress, unemployment is high and the economy is sick.

There is some symmetry there, and people are starting to recognize it.

[Servant of the Cross]

We now better remember the Bush at Ground Zero with a megaphone and his arm around a fireman ...

VDH reflects on W ping.

[glorgau]

Writing novels or making documentaries about killing the president, or libeling him as a Nazi, is not the sort of politics that we want continued during the Obama years.

Says who? ;-)

[Spok]

The hype being peddled by the MSM now is so radical and over the top that it has lost its credibility. Bush’s incompetence was as much a manufactured myth as was Obama’s brilliance. In the selling of Obama, a mysterious, hateful radical with an obscure history and total lack of qualifications, the image builders/destroyers have shown their true colors, and the public is paying less and less attention to them.

Trying to ‘feel better’ by rekindling Bush memories against Obama realities is a DOWNER not an UPPER.

I voted for Bush twice, but he led the country into a train-wreck allowing the socialists to come in and ransack the country.

[Palter]

‘For six years of the Bush administration, Americans enjoyed a strong economy.’

I guess people still don’t comprehend a bubble and living on credit.

[Le Chien Rouge]

GW Bush is that annoying seat belt you wear....you may not liked it but you felt safe.

Obama cut the seat belt, removed the front bumper, drained the brake fluid and put the peddle to meddle on a 2 mile hill.

Last week, the president did the unthinkable: He praised Bush for his past efforts to reach out to Muslims.

I can still remember my anger on 9/12/01 when President Bush visited the DC mosque to assure the local iman that relations between the United States and muslims was still strong and how he sat there listening to the iman go on about some story about mohammad hiding among the Christians when the Jews were trying to hunt him down. Muslims had just murdered 3,000+ innocent civilians and this guy had to get his two cents in about the "evil" Jews. Bush just sat there and listened politely when he should have been handing the guy a demolition permit for tearing down the DC mosque as the bulldozers waited outside.

But suddenly Bush seems OK

He does? BS! Amazing how many on the 'right' don't get it either.

Stay out da Bushes.

All of 'em.

We now better remember the Bush at Ground Zero with a megaphone and his arm around a fireman than the Texan who pronounced "nuclear" as "nucular."

If there is one image of George W. Bush that will forever be his legacy, it is the following:
