“IMHO, some people wanted him to win re-election so that you would have more to blame on the GOP in general.”
I don’t believe that; the Dems desperately wanted him unseated.
When I saw that pic of GWB at Ground zero with that megaphone a tear formed.
George wasn’t the best president. But after 9-11, he raised a country morale.
Happy Birthday Mr President....
Never before had American citizens responded so negatively to an issue before congress as they did the 2007 amnesty push. Bush's response to them was to say "See you at the bill signin".
With all this praise "conservatives" are piling on him they apparently don't consider that to have been a big issue. I find it unforgivable.
The creep-in-charge ran a good campaign - and the media suppressed all that was manifestly evil about him. That does not absolve Americans who voted for him in 2012 knowing what a genuinely bad guy he was and is. They’re the ones who dragged us down into this pit.
Most Americans voted for W the second time did so because they wanted the “war on terror” completed by the same people who had begun it. It’s understandable. It was just so very expensive...sadly, I’ll be gone long before sensible histories are written about this.
“The world community said repeatedly, “Saddam will have a nuke in six (five four, three, sixmonths)”. EVERY intelligence agency said the same thing and the Dems Ok’d the invasion (as well as many of our allies).”
Not true at all; unlike the war in Afghanistan, we had few allies in Iraq (and those were mercenaries).
Dems OKed it out of political expediency, and many paid a price for that. Obama supporters used it against Clinton to great effect.
Remember Bush joking with journalists, looking under the podium for “weapons of mass destruction”? A lot of people died for that “joke”; Americans paid the smallest price...Iraqis still pay every day.
If the “Islamic slimeball hanged” is a reference to Saddam, then as someone who remember when he was our ally, I’d have to disagree. Iraq was a haven to Christians in the Middle East; they are now casualties of the fake war.
“The invasion of Iraq under false pretenses...”
You leftist propagandist spewers are just sad.
Me too....
God bless him and family.
Happy Birthday, Mr President!
(Can Juan Williams possibly be that stupid?)
Yepper ! And ignorant of the facts usually also......
Not to mention the start of massive illegal invasions,
TSA, Homeland Security and the Patriot Act as well as spending money like a drunken sailor and bailing out crony capitalists.
Remember Bush joking with journalists, looking under the podium for “weapons of mass destruction”?
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
I am far to the right of W; nothing leftist here. I’d simply prefer he’d deal with the Muslim terrorists in the US.
He called Islam a reilion of peace. HE REALLY SAID THAT.
This thread hasn’t been so bad, but this forum has a huge number of anti-Bush posters.
They work for the cause of this world.
THEM TOO!!!
Not even my son?
Sorry, what are you referring to?

YEEESSSS!!!!!
FR really needs a “like” button!
I still don’t get it. No one is really your friend on FB (unless they are your REAL friend).
What ever your views, what you wrote is leftist propaganda.
Obama makes me miss Bill Clinton!
Just a joke there.
