This is still one of the more important things we need to do.

He was right to try and do it. In the midst of dealing with the war it became politically impossible. Its still politically impossible, but maybe it will become possible again with whoever the next president is. Replace the old breed with the new breed in congress and what was impossible may become entirely possible.

>>Michelle Obama also went to Yale . . big deal. You think she’s a genius?<<

No, but I think you are a troll who signed up a month ago. Your posting history, is VERY interesting. You don’t seem to have any use for many Republicans, and only superficial use for most conservatives.

Your opinion is highly suspect.

Bush got a free pass because of his last name . . and that is the only reason he was elected President.

Uh no. Bill Clinton's slobbering all over the White House had a big hand in it too (cf, Clinton fatigue). Also, Gore's disasterous debate performance helped (cf, clown makeup and elitist sighing). Further, George Bush trounced McCain in the primaries even with so many Democrats crossing over to vote for him.

Are you honestly trying to compare George Bush to Michelle Obama? You really are a DUmmy, which even makes Michelle smarter than you.

Bush is a nice guy . . not very bright . . but a nice guy.

I do not question his intellect... that is the liberals weapon... ridicule a 'good man' as an attempt to destroy him not only politically but personally... see that is what I mean about liberal lunatics, they are destroyers. President Bush always put what he viewed the 'good' of the country first. What I do not know is IF he thought he could find in lying liberals buried deep in their souls the will to do right.

History will demonstrate the raving 'evil' lunatics exposed their dark side day one election 2000 and sit now atop the ruins of their insanity.

In his exit interview W said his top regret was not making amnesty his number issue after reelection, rather than Social Security reform.

I agree. The ultimate Stockholm Syndrome Republican. Rather than fight, he martyed himself.

Well that could well be what took place, but we have a very active biased media who will carry the liberal lies as if the 'Gospel'. They sowed seeds of 'hate Bush' that I can literally court on one hand people I know that do not 'hate' all things Bush... and I am describing the WWJD Christians and liberal Catholics.... Hate Bush is more popular than hate the devil in my small dot on this globe.

I can’t wait for the book. Not one time have I cut President Bush down or called him a failure in anyway. He is a man who did his best and we were a country who needed such a man to step up and protect the United States. He has a heart of gold and knows he was hated and made fun of throughout his life. Thank you President Bush fore everythign you have done for this country. I will forever be grateful to him. God Bless President George W. Bush!

(MBA) from Harvard Business School. He is the first president with an MBA degree.

Harvard is where the ruling class learned to destroy the housing market and get rich at the same time.

I think history will show the Bush Administration was more successful at setting up the democrats for the midterm tsunami of 2010.

I find it funny that Henry Paulson jumped in front of the camera as if he were president and announced frantically the economy is collapsing. The funny part was that 99% of the population was unaware of the financial problems and responded appropriately. The problem could have been controlled gradually as long as the population remained calm. The fact the administration chose to break the news though a urgent news address, as they did, make me feel the only motives could have been a few. It really seems they decided to take down several birds with one stone. Keep John McCain from becoming president, expose the housing finance problems just before handing over power (expose it now, and let them get the blame later), and spend so much money on the way out that it would make Americans mad when the Dems started their spending spree.

I have felt this way from the moment Henry Paulson’s face hit the camera in 08. The coming midterm result are exactly what I expected . This is not a pro-republican turnout. It is a p.o’d electorate who wanted change, not fundamental restructuring or American Government and Public Policy. It is a people who saw massive spending and negligence at the end of 08 and only wanted that to change, and that change was not received. This Midterm election is about “change”.

GWB received a bachelor’s degree from Yale in 1968. He then received a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard Business School. He is the first president with an MBA degree.

That tells us more about the quality of a Harvard MBA than anything else.
