****Perhaps, everything played a part. I am a huge Bush fan, but I blame the Bush factor being allowed to the fore not on GWB but on McCain.
Bush, did the best he could, with what he had. What he did was very good, what he didn’t was very bad.
Alas, history will latch onto the very good! That will take a few years though...lol****
I don’t suppose it matters much but it would somehow be nice if Bush people would simply admit the truth about George Bush. He simply was not qualified to be POTUS. He failed to veto many many bills that needed quashing. He failed to lead the nation in any direction. He turned Iraq into a quagmire we are only now slogging our way out of .... years late. He captained the GOP into a spendthrift organization of lobbyist hounds. He utterly failed to see the financial meltdown coming and do anything about it. He was at the helm when this country was taken over by a communist community organizer. George Bush is the single biggest failure I can possibly think of. A loser of immeasurable proportions. George Bush and HIS party gave us Obama on a silver platter.
Not only will history NOT be kind to GWB. There may not be any historians or history left.
What gave us BHO was the media.
And shortsighted thinking that evidently they knew they could influence.
So gost2, I sense you can give us a first hand account of that brainwashing. Please continue!
