The main thing that GWB did badly was not countering the lies and invectives of the left during the last four years of his term. He considered the Presidency to be “above” that sort of thing. As a result they defined him and “his war” and convinced the ignorant to turn out the Repubs in 2006 and then they foisted this tragedy upon us in 2008. I admire GWB but he blew it on this one.
“then they foisted this tragedy upon us in 2008”
It’s a travesty.
