Wishing y'all a very Merry Christmas! God bless.
Permanently pissed off his base by trying to force the Alien Amnesty through twice and totally forgot to build the fence, which appears to be only an obselete 2006 election ploy.
Other than that things were peachy.
Best Pres since Reagan.
Mark my words....we will dearly miss him after he is gone.
There is this haze of negativity and hate towards Bush from some Republicans. If we stepped back and looked at the whole person--the way we do with Reagan, who indeed signed an amnesty, who backed fuel taxes, who was more pro-abortion as governor than he was anti-abortion as president, and yet we rightly consider him a giant--we'd realize just how lucky we are to have him in charge at this time, because the simple fact is that he is doing an excellent job overall.
While Bush wasn’t absolutely everything we could have wished for, he wasn’t the absolute worst (that’s pretty good praise for a politician). I think his good outweighed his bad. 7/10 for Bush
Kudlow’s friggin great though.
“Calendar year 2007 looks set to produce 3 percent growth in real GDP, nearly 3 percent growth in consumer spending, and over 3 percent growth in after-tax inflation-adjusted incomes. Meanwhile, headline inflation (including food and energy) will have run at 2.5 percent, with only 2 percent core inflation.
Jobs are rising over 100,000 per month and the stock market is set to turn in a respectable year despite enormous headwinds. Low tax rates, modest inflation, and declining interest rates continue to boost Goldilocks, which is still the greatest story never told.”
But this is not mentioned in the news — people have to follow business news in detail to be aware of it. Most people think the economy is terrible, that’s what the MSM is telling them.
The Left HATES him with an abnormal passion. We are talking an assassination movie as well as a book, endless anti-Bush web pages, NYT frothing at the mouth, etc, etc, you know all the rest.
Anyone that can draw that kind of hatred from the Left is my #1 guy!
That’s what I am going to miss the most - we are in for a huge come down. :(
And the rats are deeply saddened.
Right now, compared to what appear to be the likely prospects, Bush is looking pretty darn good.
No sooner was he settled in than George W. Bush got 9/11 dumped on him, making his presidency the most striking good-thing-turned-bad since Carrie was voted prom queen.
I’d like to see anyone play that hand better. The economy is strong; the enemy is on the run; the Supreme Court is beefed up by two young conservatives; over 20 million people are de-loused of their tyrants.
If we had a Rushmore for presidents’ sons, Adams and Bush would fill it completely. And that’s another thing for which GWB is given too little credit: it isn’t easy being the child of someone prominent in ability or wealth. The silver spoon can be a disadvantage, a blight on character. Then, any good you’ve done, people say it’s due to your privileges of birth.
So, all in all, I’m kind of sorry to see him go.
But what about the porous border and Ramos and Campeon?
I’m proud to say that I’ve had a refrigerator of Bush’s photo on my fridge for almost ten years. No matter the issue and I’ve disagreed with him on many, I always felt he was an honest moral man who loves his country and it’s people.
And to really appreciate GWB’s accomplishments (07, et.al.), just look forward to what’s coming in the future (based on the current offering of candidates).
I like Larry. I went to bed election night 2004 with only his prediction of a Bush reelection.
He has the pulse of America
Not bad for a President who is supposed to be a lame duck.
Bull’s eye ... this Kudlow’s got an aim near good as thine, Sir JH2.
Thanks for the post.
Merry Christmas!
President Bush: a good man, a good President - perhaps even a great President. Time will tell.
And at the core from which everything comes: a man of great Faith.
Kudlow is such a breath of truthful, fresh air in the media. Oh, and a belated very Merry Christmas to you and yours John...
