My point is not that Bush took a pounding, it is that he NEVER used the office to fight back! He stood there taking the pasting. Republicans in general never stand up for truth, they are way more interested in not creating waves and crossing their plantation masters, the Democrats.
Further, Bush took us to war. I’m okay with that, but he never had a consistent effort to maintain the support for the war with the rest of the country. He abandoned his post and thus the country turned against the war and against him.
In 8 years how many times did Bush address the nation from the Oval Office? 3 times in 8 years? 4 times (once every two years?)
God Bless that man for protecting us.
