Precedents Team Bush set to be used against us are unforgivable. Let's also not forget his stacking of LIBERAL LONG TIME FAMILY FRIENDS {RINO's} in the houses which gave us the 2006 election collapse to start with. Remember this senator. Conservatives were in general not liked by Bush from as early as before taking office in 2001 and they still aren't. Like Father like Son. Never, ever, forget it when the name Bush comes up for a possible election.
Sad to say the Nelson Rockefeller Liberalisms of GW Bush help set the way for Obama 2008. He took the party and the nation further left. Not quite as far as Gore would have. But recall his saying in 2000 he and Mr Gore were not that far apart on most issues.
I've been screaming for years that the economy and the world was pretty good back before the rats took control in 2007.....THEY ARE THE REASON THE ECONOMY TANKED....
Bush was too timid a prez in many ways and should have fought harder but he had the two houses plus the DBM plus the hollywhore group against him at every turn....
not that I think the economy of the world wasn't heading towards armagedden, but there at least was American confidence back then....
think about that when you pull the lever for obamey....
Bush didn't push his own people in Congress on some really important issues. He just wasn't as much of a leader as he could have been.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the alibi Bush gave people like Barney Frank, or at least the alibi they're using for their own failures and errors.
Bush lost the support of Congressional Republicans because they were cowards and beaten down over the wars by the MSM. He didn’t help himself by standing by idly while the press and lefties continually lied about what he was doing in the WOT. A wasp thing. Bush family has no streetfighter genes at all but that doesn’t make them bad people, it just makes them punching bags.
I think he acquitted himself pretty well defending America and insisting on doubling down in Iraq despite the lack of public support from Congress.
Spending wise he did not acquit himself well but tax wise he did OK.
George W Bush is a good American but like all of us he falls far short of perfect. However, he was a vast improvement on Clinton and orders of magnitude better than the current crowned prince.
If he was running against Obama I’d vote for him without hesitation just as I will vote for Romney without hesitation over Obama. I voted for Santorum in the primary but I won’t be taking my football and going home. The game of life continues.
OK, Guys! Let me say something here!
The President can only propose a budget, and gives it to the Congress. The Congress then takes it and drop it in the trash can!
They write their budget and gives it to the President for his approval or veto. They give the budget at the VERY LAST MINUTE of the Fiscal Year!
Now if the President vetoes the budget, he shuts down the Federal Government! What choice does he have? Shutting down the Government would cause a major disruption in the economy!
That’s the game the DIMS has been playing!
So Bush has to sign the budget and release it. He has to spend every penny of it. He cannot impound or hold back! That’s the Federal Law!
As for the Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, they were in serious trouble since early 2000’s and Bush knows it. In fact, he gave the Congress warnings 14 times in his 8 years term. Nobody listened. Even Baawney said there is no problem!
The President has to keep it quiet from the public as not to create a panic.
Somebody or something moved 500 Billions from the Stock Market in an hour in 2008 and caused a financial collapse in our economy! So far to date, nobody knows who did it!
I don’t always agree with Bush on everything but he didn’t do a bad job as a President.
Bush would be a hellova better than the one we have now!
Yep, and Bush didn't veto a single bill from those jackals. It may not be his fault, but he stepped aside when he still could've helped.
