One of the Great Ones. The greatest in recent memory is Ronald Reagan.

When you compare him to the current usurper - a resounding YES!

No wonder our country is such a mess that GW is considered ‘great’.

He was great in defending our country, but in many things he was not so great.

The President really runs foreign policy. Congress runs the domestic agenda.

NOW do you understand why the country is so screwed up? Decades of Democratic Congress (with a brief RINO majority) with back-breaking entitlements that will have to be taken away or it will destroy us.

Big difference GW Bush does not hate the USA. He may have been incorrect, but he loves this country and his foreign policy was good.

Relative to the current freak, maybe, but not relative to Reagan. Not even close.

No he was not. He was a 100X better than what we have now but not a great President.

Regarding the threat of Islam and the War on Terror, Bush made a few errors but overall understood the need to engage this enemy.

Regarding immigration, the growth of the federal government(prescription drug plan anyone),letting the left take shots at him and not fighting back, Bush rec’d poor remarks.

However, future historians will say that Bush was spot on regarding the Islamic threat and he will be praised.

George W. Bush was an above-average President overall ... A LOT better than Obama or Carter, better than his father, better than Clinton, significantly worse than Reagan. He gets the solid B+ that Obama was looking for.

His foreign policy decisions were good, though tactical mistakes were made in the prosecution of war efforts. He responded to the attacks of 9-11, and put us in a position to acheive victory.

His domestic policy was OK. He spent too much, but at least understood the concept of cutting taxes to spur economic growth. The first bailout package left a stain on his legacy, however — but not an insurmountable one.

Every incompetent decision Obama makes improves the Bush legacy.

Solidly middle of the pack.

Top 3
1) George Washington
2) Abraham Lincoln
3) Ronald Reagen

Bottom 3
42) Jimmy Carter
43) B Hussein Obama (But don't count him out of the bottom spot yet. If he actually starts a Civil War that kills off over 3% of the total US population he could yet be worse than...)
44) James Buchanan

Big difference GW Bush does not hate the USA.

But he didn't love it either. He supported the military and he loved his fellow elites, but regular Americans ranked below illegal aliens.

If Bush II was so great a President, why did the GOP lose control of Congress in 2006 in his second term, and why did the Dems sweep Congress AND the White House in 2008???

I wish the Bushbots in this forum would just disappear and take the entire Bush Klan with them in the process.’’By continually dredging this guy up, they are just generating problems for the GOP and conservatives to deal with today.

Bush was a BAD President who did a few good things - VERY few.
