Bush is considered the devil by most democrats and even a few right-wingers ( I will never forgive him for NOT securing the borders on 9-12-01 and keeping them closed). But now that "W" is moving on to private life....how did he do? There were no more large-scale attacks like 9-11, but some say our world standing suffered. There was GITMO and interrogation problems. There was the bail-out of insurance companies and for a conservative he spent like a central Florida lottery winner at a corvette dealership. Big government? We got it, but most of that blame went to establishing a new department, Homeland Defense. We did have to spend after 9-11 and I had no problem with that BUT the bailouts of late 2008 set a poor precedent that now haseveryone holding out their hands for the governments money. What will Obama bring us? He says change, but never clearly defined exactly what that change was to be. Either way, we got him for four years or at least two years when he we will again begin the election process. And that process.....is it just TOO MUCH MONEY wasted on the TV ads instead of paying down the national debt? What did the past do for you and what will the future hold?
I will be sending Barry a special love letter on his big day on my blog.
ReplyDeleteIf the birds don't get me first.
People who think Bush was the worst president we ever had are rather lacking in history knowledge.
ReplyDeleteSome of his policies didn't tickle everyone in the right way, but he didn't commit treason--twice--like James Buchanan.
Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore were a couple of other fabulous winners.
