I think in determining how good/bad he is we have to consider that he gave us Obama. His policies and failures led to a straw man that the left could beat without the right wanting to defend. In my eyes he is, and always will be, responsible for where we are today.
That was moslty The Media and Nazi Pelousy constantly harping about “The Failed Bush Administration”
I have yet to hear our side once say “The Failed Obama Administration”
So Bush named Obama to office? Or was it the idiotic voters (or those that refused to vote because they didn't get the nominee they wanted) that put Obama in office?
Obviously, the latter.
