Our nation, this generation, will lift the dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail. - George W. Bush Sept. 20, 2001.
Today is George W. Bush's 68th birthday. A man who, according to his father, "faced the greatest challenge of any president since Abraham Lincoln.”
Happy Birthday, President George W. Bush. Great to visit the @GWBLibrary earlier this year! pic.twitter.com/6u3f12FF1T — Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) July 6, 2014
His presidency will be forever scared by the Sept. 11 terrorist attack and the Iraq War. The media loved to label the Texan as uncouth and uneducated. There is even a Wikipedia page called "Bushism," which is dedicated to his unique use of the English language.
Just last week, however, Americans began to realize Bush might not have been all that bad. A Quinnipiac University National Poll found that more people now dislike President Obama than Bush.
President Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, 33 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Another 28 percent pick President George W. Bush.
Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, 39 percent of voters say, while 40 percent say he is worse. Men say 43 - 36 percent that Obama is worse than Bush while women say 42 - 38 percent he is better. Obama is worse, Republicans say 79 - 7 percent and independent voters say 41 - 31 percent. Democrats say 78 - 4 percent that he is better.
The results must come as somewhat of a surprise to Bush — and Obama as well. Happy Birthday, George W.
Happy Birthday!
Thanks Kaslin.
People for some reason are desperate to say nice thing about him but mostly all they can come up with is - he’s a really nice guy, his wife is charming, at least he’s better then Obama.
I can’t think of anything either.
Ross Perot brought us Bill Clinton.
Affirmative action brought us Barack Obama; Bush could have been the avatar of Reagan, and Obama would still have beaten McCain.
The unpopular GWB also declared that gay place in NYC in 1969 - I’ve forgotten its name — a national historic site.
The Stonewall Bar.
Happy Birthday President W. Miss you.
He cares about people, respects and appreciates our military, and loves and tries to do what he believed was best for the country (not to aggrandize himself). I didn’t always agree with his conclusions, but I’ll take a good, honest man any day over the Clintons and the Obamas. I sure miss him.
Happy birthday President Bush, and many more.
(and a stammering amnesty pimp to us)
Reagan earned that honor. Da Bushes & their adopted son Billy Jeff Clinton set us up for the abuses Obama has been able to inflict. W and his crew made putting GOP-E in power a priority. He loathed conservatives. GOP-E = DEM-E meaning DEM Enablers.
The GOP should have primaried him out in 2004. Da Bushes did us a lot of harm. Worse than that W instead of fixing what was wrong using a two house majority expanded federal agencies and their powers to be used against us. How can anyone respect a Republican who said he and Al Gore were not far apart on most issues? Move da Bushes to Juarez and let them be among friends.
Yes he does and I miss him and Laura also
Perfect.
