It seems like one of those things there is no way out of. A true Kabuki dance if there ever was one. Bush cares about Africa but certainly didn’t want to be playing kissy with Obama on Air Force One, and quite possibly didn’t wholeheartedly approve of Mandela. But just envision the alternative. Impossible. He had to go.
I know I’m biased when it come to W, but perhaps this is OK. Not at all like Christie.
I wanted to give them that pass too (they work for African causes - it looks diplomatic... respect from united U.S. political parties, and all that) but that could have been accomplished w/o the Bushes flying over with the Obamas.
Bush and Cruz should have chartered an airline AC to go separately from the kenyan.
had integrity.
believed in Christ.
but his actions(immigration and spending for starters) paved the way to the pickle we are in now ..along with a lot of other cultural forces
He did do good things too and compared to Gore or Clinton he was better
But GOP like Bush or Christie don't stop the plane crash, they simply prolong it..and contribute.
Bush's wife is a liberal, his momma is a liberal, his daddy was fairly liberal, his kids are very liberal...especially the NYC one..Bush II was actually the least liberal and his family steadily scolded him for it.
This is what you get with GOP establishment types
I have learned my lesson
We may learn we cannot win with a real conservative or that he cannot govern as one.
But we won't know in this era till we try.
Demographics have crushed us and Bush bears a lot of that.
We hashed that out here pretty bloody 7-10 years ago.
My post right now woulda been yanked and maybe me suspended as racist on immigration and just trouble for criticizing Bush.
I think everyone understands now what some were saying then.
I apprciate Bush for WOT and tax cuts and most judicial appointments...and his better than Obama of course but I'm tired of these type choices. We do have some good candidates now...Cruz for example..I could live with Rand Paul....Palin ain't gonna run folks I promise...been there done that dance
