He was far from a perfect president. But he was a gracious man, with good manners, who did not sic the IRS on his political enemies like a paranoid chihuahua. I still am not sure what he could have done better in the aftermath of 9/11. Sigh...

LOL at “paranoid Chihuahua”. How very appropriate. :)

I agree...GW did a good job after 9/11. We could have fared far worse.

I am on the list with those who realize it wasn’t necessarily W’s fault that we ended up with The Won. I blame the MSM and ignorant voters.

Bush did some good conservative things and some horrible liberal things as president. As always, the question for any president named Bush is this — how much of the things were done for political calculation?

After the presidency, when a man is no longer running for office, his true feelings are more likely to surface. For George W so far, not so good. In his rare public statements, he has been pro-amnesty, dismissive of conservatives on the traditional marriage issue, and praised big government Lyndon Johnson at a Great Society celebration.

He has also scrupulously avoided criticizing Obama on socialized medicine, perhaps because his own Medicare expansion was giant springboard for Obamacare.

As Jesse Jackson said, stay outa da Bushes!

Bush seems quite pleased with Obama. When he came out to speak last summer, all he could say was that people who are’t for gay marriage are mean. I guess he didn’t have the guts to legalize gay marriage, but he wanted to.
