Yes, President Bush, America does miss you

Several months ago a huge billboard appeared near Wyoming, Minnesota, with a beaming photo of George W. Bush with the caption “Miss me yet?” The answer to that question is clearly yes, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research poll, which shows the former president staging a remarkable political recovery despite having largely disappeared from public life since leaving office:

By 47 to 45 percent, Americans say Obama is a better president than George W. Bush. But that two point margin is down from a 23 point advantage one year ago.

...The CNN poll is of course deeply humiliating for the White House, especially coming just three and a half weeks before the November mid-terms. George W. Bush’s resurgence is in large part due to mounting opposition to the Obama’s presidency’s left-wing agenda, but it is also spurred by Obama’s image as an out of touch, aloof and elitist president, divorced from economic and political reality on the ground.

A lot of Americans frankly miss the down-to-earth and significantly warmer leadership style promoted by President Bush, as well as his unfailing sense of optimism and heart-felt pride in America on the world stage. You certainly won’t ever find Bush apologising for his country or extending the hand of friendship to her enemies.

I can miss my ex-girlfriend without wanting more of her.

[Gator113]

Obama doesn’t hold the value of a pimple on Bush’s backside.

I'm not advocating for another Bush...Think this is great if it helps put an end to the “Blame Bush” rhetoric. It also shows that people are getting tired of Obama agenda.

P.S.

And no more idiot RINO Roves either.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Roves = Rove

The article is not advocating Dubya’s return...Niles is just comparing what a sorry POS pResident we have now compared to the last one.

I still want to know what kind of IDIOT still thinks Obozo is a better leader than Bush.

I’m no great fan of GW, but hell’s bells....

I miss my ex-wife. But my aim is getting better....

[opentalk]

You certainly won’t ever find Bush apologizing for his country or extending the hand of friendship to her enemies

I think this rings true what many people feel about Obama

[1rudeboy]

Better get something for that knee, it’s still jerking.

And if you discount the 98% support from blacks. It’s really not even close.

I know Bush made mistakes but they seem totally minor comparted to what this MARXIST is doing to our country.

I do miss President Bush! At least he & Laura brought dignity to the White House!

[luvbach1]

Not only was GWB a better president than 0bummer, Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover were!

[MrEdd]
