Bush was toast, even without Perot.

Bush 41 deserves great credit for managing the end of the Cold War, credit he never received. It didn't have to turn out as it did, and violent and potentially widespread turmoil was more likely than a generally peaceful transition. Bush handled that well, to his credit.

Gulf War I - Bush should have gone all the way to Baghdad when he had the chance, knocked down every Gov’t building, killed every Revolutionary Guard unit that was surrounded, declared the Kurds independent - and then left, except for Iraq’s southern oil fields, which should have been annexed and operated in Trust by the United States.

I can’t imagine that scenario causing any more problems than the way things actually did play out over the next 20 years.

So, after years of verbal abuse, we’re suddenly supposed to believe GHWB was the ideal President—I think not. If you think GHWB was ideal, you’ll love Romney, if he makes it.

Perot ran because he had a long standing feud with Bush that went back many decades and he succeeded in electing Clinton.

I was unaware of that, I stand corrected.

Frankly I can’t believe Newsbusters has a dolt that fell for this tripe. Very disappointing. Maybe Noel Shepperd will can the guy.

This is just a liberal tactic to appear to be fair and balanced.

If it hadn’t been for the “little hand grenade with a bad haircut” (Perot), Clinton would never have been president.

READ MY LIPS BUSH.

One of the worst Presidents in history.

Lest anyone forget, George H W was the father of the “Earned Income Tax Credit”, where people who do not pay taxes get a “tax refund”.

FWIW, during the 2000 election, Brokaw did call out an Algore lie about the gun control act of ‘68 on national news.
