BURLINGTON, Vt., April 29, 2013 — The George W. Bush Presidential Library is now living history. The Southern Methodist University campus will house some of the most important documents spanning one of the most consequential periods in American history.

His first few months saw him ram through supply-side tax cuts that turned around a slowing economy he “inherited” from his predecessor. Despite a NASDAQ collapse of over 90 percent, Bush did not spend one minute complaining about his circumstances or blaming anybody else. He rolled up his sleeves and went to work.

Agreed. The PATRIOT Act, anyone? “Family Values don’t stop at the Rio Grande”, anyone?
I despise him.
P.S. DHS, anyone?
Well, that’s one way of admitting you were clueless.
LOL! Love it!
Thank You! I had fun doing that! :o)
Do you think Bush and our government did not know Obama was a fraud? They were in office and did NOTHING to save this country from an illegal, communist regime change. Might not have been much of a change after all.
Bush did not run against Obama. McCain did. QED

Bush, Cheney, et al had the intelligence on Obama and could have quietly undermined his campaign and stopped him from becomming president.
To allow an avowed enemy of the United States to become president is unforgivaable. IMO.
An OK president.
He gave me the DHS and the TSA
No ammo today?
oh well.
Grandma groped at te airport?
Oh well.
