Not even remotely close, George.
compared to the real failure of a p-Resident we currently have..
10 years? So I guess this idiot is including the 2 years of "denials" from Obama too.
MY personal opinion is that President Bush gave the liberal lunatics ‘gravitas’ and allowed them to run circles around him. Social security notwithstanding.
Bush’s BIGGEST failure was his PURPOSEFUL and INTENTIONAL REFUSAL to effectively secure our borders and protect the sovereignty of our nation. Instead, he tried to blackmail us...border security in exchange for amnesty.
His second biggest failure was his PURPOSEFUL and INTENTIONAL leadership role in the “Ownership Society’s” agenda to provide unearned mortgages to the poor/illegal aliens... resulting in the mess we are in. Mortgages in exchange for unemployed/undocumented’s Section 8 vouchers.
Any President with ties to the bipartisan CFR/OBL/New World Order crowd IS a progressive, plain and simple.
I won’t support/elect/settle for another one.
Bush is old news. Could you please catch up to today, and Obama’s failures?
Nah, I didn’t think so.
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.
In his exit interview W said his top regret was not making amnesty his number issue after reelection, rather than Social Security reform.
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!
IMO two of his biggest ones that hurt him the most is when he didn't use his office to promote his agenda regarding the war. The other problem is he never defended or went on the offensive much in defending himself, the war or anything he did. He was a walking pinata.
I was not a fan of his illegal immigration policy or prescription meds for seniors.
He wanted to reward law breakers who often were performing document fraud, then we NEVER needed to grow entitlements.
He was right on the war and right on the Bush tax cuts.
Not even remotely close, George.
IMO his biggest mistake was not obtaining a real life official Declaration of War instead of the resolution of force to invade Iraq.
A Declaration of War is unambiguous.
A resolution of force allowed the Dems to back track when it was politically expedient to do so. And they did.
Frankly, I agree with President Bush on Social Security...that it needs to be taken out of the government coffers and put in individual account names for Americans...even if it’s just plain old interest bearing accounts and saved until you reach retirement age.
Our Social Security Trust as well as now the Medicare Trust has been robbed how many times now by the government?
For all the Bush nay sayers, let me remind you that THIS government did not have a dime to its name when even Clinton arrived in the White House, OR Reagan, Carter and for how many years back. This counry has had nothing but debt since Jackson was president.
Also for you Bush nay sayers, where was freaking Congress during the Bush years, mostly filled with RINO’s reaching across the aisle to assist the democrats expand government regulations and over reach. Before you blame BUSH look at who you sent to Congress!!!
As for me, I was still sending the freaking commies to Congress and drinking the koolaide...
Bush was rather busy with national security after nine months of his administration. And I’d like to remind you there wasn’t a terrorist attempt on the homeland after 9/11 that wasn’t stopped during his administration.
For all that’s said in regard to PRESIDENT Bush, I miss having his calm determination, and his buck stops here, non-whining, non-blaming presence in our White House along with love of this country and duty and CLASS! I now miss him saying Kuber instead of Cuba, and nukler instead of nuclear. And I miss having a bad arse, mean as snakes Vice President sitting beside him. And I don’t believe for a minute that he was dumb.
Sure there were two rich powerful men sitting in our White House, but that’s not nearly as horrifying to me as having a freaking anti-American communist mired in Islamo-fascism, nothing more or less than a corrupt street punk uneducated con man sitting in there with a clown sitting in the chair beside him.
