Bush leaves a very small footprint,
for a full two-term president.

The apple rolled very far away from the tree.

"The apple rolled very far away from the tree."

Respectfully, no it did not.

I speak here as a person that voted for GWB twice, but he blew it big time, as his father blew it when he listened to Colin Powell and the UN and did not have the will to finish the job and take out Saddam in Gulf I.

This whole "compassionate conservative" BS needed to be chucked after 9/11, and GWB needed to strongly articulate often the reasons for taking the fight to the ME. We got the shallow and ill-advised "religion of peace" thing that was, in retrospect, a huge and terrible mistake. Failure to define the enemy is still biting us in the a$$ to this very minute.

He did not do that, nor did he deal strongly with his critics on the left, and he did not hold the social right in his corner. He looks at this point weak and wimpy. I await some cojones, but I am not seeing it at this time. I am sorely disgusted with the whole mess.

>The apple rolled very far from the tree.<

If the apple is W (winesap), then I disagree with you. I did not vote the second time for the tree (Bush 41) because of his dedication to globalism. I would say with 43 signing up for the North American Union immeciately after being re-elected, he did not roll at all. And I fear that my country will lay rotting at the roots unless someonne does something quickly!
