Lowest presidential popularity rating in recent history which helped put a Marxist, Islamophilic novice in the White House.
Yeah. Bush has a legacy.
IMO Bush just plain lost interest after his first four.
The left-wing media have disgraced GWB despite his accomplishments.
On the other hand, they have already ‘canonized’ the ‘failure-proof’ Obama even though he hasn’t accomplished anything yet.
“On the other hand, they have already ‘canonized’ the ‘failure-proof’ Obama even though he hasn’t accomplished anything yet.”
The “Free Press” will be amomng the FIRST to regret their canonization of the new saint Obama.
