It's a milestone any former president would love: For the first time since 2005, more Americans approve of George W. Bush than disapprove, reports Gallup. He now stands at 49-46—up 9 in the "view favorably" category and down 13 in "view unfavorably" since he left office in 2009. (He still registers only a 24% favorable rating among Democrats, 60 points below his score among Republicans.)
All the recent former presidents are at 60% favorable or above, including Bush senior at 62%. He turns 89 tomorrow, incidentally, and his foundation wants everyone to wear brights socks (and photograph them) to mark the occasion, notes the Dallas Morning News.
Bush’s fault.
The truly great thing about Obama?
He makes everyone else look better!
It’s what happens when you’re no longer around to do any further damage.
Without the Hollywood Reds trashing Bush’s name on television every day (with talkshow sh!tchat, programs like “That’s my Boosh”, and major motion pictures every week) and other presstitution going on, the public has little reason to despise the man who isn’t doing them any personal harm today.
Gin up the negatives and the numbers would be different.
Truth will out.
Even Al Franken NOW supports Bush’s “then unconstitutional” NSA wiretaps, and he even supports the EXPANSION to every American, not just those who are communicating abroad with known members of Al Qaeda.
Same here. I always appreciated his maturity and dignity. He had to deal with a liberal Senate and House which forced him to compromise more than anyone would want.
He was not a Reagan, but who is?
Pray for America to Wake Up
That just tells me that Americans that answer presidential approval polls are mostly idiots.
I’m sure Jeb is smiling. Three more years of ObaMao and another Bush is going to look awfully good.
See what keepin’ your mouth shut will get you?
A legacy which secured the election of a successor in his own party
A western style democracy in Iraq.
A western style democracy in Afghanistan.
A homeland security department which respects our constitutional rights
His “Islam is a peaceful religion” speech.
Stopping a massive invasion of illegals across our southern border.
A stable economy
Bailing out the banks.
Spending millions to fight aids in Africa
Stopping the military from taking Fallujah apart after Fallujans murdered two American contractors and hung their corpses up for ridicule.
Allowing a Sharia based government to succeed Saddam in Iraq
Securing Red Chinese access to Iraqi oil paid for with American blood and money.
Promising to veto an English as an official language bill.
Promising to sign an assault rifle ban.
The Patriot Bill.
Miss him yet or should I post more?
Ditto here. The msm succeeded in getting both right and left to hate bush...such an obvious goal for a commie press.
We’ve always seen thru the tactic and continued our high opinion of George e.g... a good man and a great pres.
you know, you have a great point. All this bickering about civil liberties that progressive democrats put up during Bush’s presidency is now what they are defending with the Obama admin. the only difference was the Bush used these legislative weapons to defend America from her enemies, while Obama is using them to silence his political opponents, or at least keep track of what they’re saying. I supported the Patriot Act, and other legislation that put greater power in the hands of the intel community to fight terrorists, but Obama’s wild misuse of such tactics, as well as his inability, or his unwillingness, to curb treasonous leaks is causing me to rethink my support of these laws.
I still have not seen proof that what is being gathered today is no more information than was being gathered while Bush was president.
I also know that as First Lady, Mrs. Clinton possessed 900 FBI files illegally and was not prosecuted.
She was later approved as Sec. of State.
The existence of laws does not prevent abuse of power just as the legalization of information gathering does not guarantee its abuse.
I’m just glad those daily worship threads are gone.
On THEIR dollar when he ALREADY is a millionaire.
We haven’t had a log cabin president in a long time and I don’t think ANY of them deserve our tax money anymore in a pension.
REALLY????
I loved ending my day with....LIFE IN THE DAY OF THE PRESIDENT...MADE GREAT FREEPER FRIENDS, MANY NO LONGER HERE, WONDER WHY???
MAYBE BECAUSE OF FOLKS SUCH AS YOU...YA THINK?
