He did but that wasn't the picture 'created by' the msm and then distributed to the masses... and to his discredit, he never fought back against that caricature.
When he was Governor, Texans knew him as honest, charming and compassionate with an excellent sense of humor. The national media had a bullseye on him as soon as the election was certified in his favor.
HORRIBLE ADVISORS like Mark McKinnon, etc.
Simple..... Obama in a year has made many appreciate Bush..., and yes this is after the 8 year thrashing he took from the MSM.
Agreed. Bush had the wrong speechwriters. A good speechwriter would have played to the sincerity and straight-forwardness of the man and crafted the speeches accordingly.
I also read that Bush always refused to practice his speeches.
One thing that can never be disputed...Bush doesn't hate America like BO and MO!
Bad speaker.....BIG SPENDER!!!!!
He did, but the media didn't show that, they manipulated and edited, to paint the picture of Bush that they wanted you to see.
“So, why didn’t he do that while President? I have no ideas..”
He did daily, you were simply brainwashed into going with the crowd...
If GWB had embraced true conservatism instead of pushing big govt liberalism (aka compassionate conservatism) 80% of the time, he would have been a top 10 president and would not have fallen to such low approval ratings.
Frankly, all evidence is there that Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction and we knew he did as he used them.
Stop believing the lies of the MSM and Democrats.
Bush deserves the credit for changing courses in Iraq which proved to be the right decision. God, I wish he were back to continue this war on radical Islam rather than the Muzzie lover we have right now.
Paulsen scared the daylights out of Bush and there were a whole bunch of lawmakers who also met with Paulsen and were also scared. Did they do the right thing? I'm not sure. It may actually have been the right decision.
Those two wars were not the fault of Bush. Remember the radical Muzzies attacked us on 9/11 and are still trying to kill us. He's to be thanked for what he did.
The economic collapse can be laid directly at the feet of a bunch of Democrats and the truth is that Bush tried to warn congress--more than once.
Now, why is it that you hate Bush?
Bump
“So, why didn’t he do that while President? I have no ideas..”
Letterman and the MSM convinced you otherwise. Some of us recognized the man for who he really was.
I miss him.
...why the sudden interest in Canada,GW was in Montreal last week...
Some time after 9-11, CBS,(surprisinly) showed a documentary of Bush and what he did after the attack when he first flew to NY.
I had voted for Bush, but was beginning to think he was a light weight.....
Our President had the guts and the fortitude to go into the shelters where people were, hug little kids, and tell them the rescuers would find their loved one, whether they were a mom a sister a father a brother who was missing. Of course he knew those people weren’t going to be found, but it eased the kids pain somewhat, it looked to me. He was amazing, and I am watching this documentary with tears in my eyes........
He met with some of the firemen, the police men and the port authority for hours. He never lost his composure. Everyone was crying but GW. I think he gave them all strength.........
He gets off the helicopter at the White House, at midnight, and you could see how exhausted and drained he was.......he has been at Ground Zero all day..............
GW did alot of things wrong, but by God he got the most important one right. He protected us, and I will forever grateful to him for that.......
That finger?
Wigglin' like two MFers. LOL!!!
Bush tripped twice — once referring to the “universality of freedom” as the “university of freedom.”
The University of Freedom. I like that. Maybe we should have one of those.
