Some day, the greatness of President GW Bush will be acknowledged by all.
He prevented further terrorist attacks on the US homeland after 9/11. The attack of 9/11/2001 was Not His Fault, it was the fault of the Democrats who held the White House for 8 years before President Bush took power.
President Bush has given America almost uninterupted ecnomic prosperity. He helped overcome the Democrat caused recession of 2001, and gave us 7 years of uninterrupted job growth, until 2008. The current recession/depression is the fault of the Democrats who encouraged granting mortgages to unqualified borrowers.
All the other problems attributed to President Bush were caused by Democrats, including the New Orleans disaster, which was due to the incompetence of Democratic city and state governments in Louisiana.
President Bush is a Great President and will be recognized as one of America’s greatest presidents some day.
It seems you've forgotten the tenor of this site, it's a conservative forum, not a republican one. While there are no doubt many things to blame BJ Clinton and his cronies for, trying to tack on the actions of a group of suicidal thugs isn't one of them. 9/11 was caused by Al Qaeda, Bin Ladin, and the vicious ideology that leads them and their fellow Islamists to carry out terrorist attacks around the world on Christians, Jews, Secularists, and moderate Muslims alike.
You can choose to look at hings either as they are or through the tinted glasses of a partisan shill, you've chosen the later while I'll gladly choose the former. In many ways there was but little difference between the way Clinton governed and the way Bush has governed, and when it comes to the economy and foreign policy there indeed wasn't much difference - other than in their rhetoric. I could wish there was more of a distinction - at least on the economic front - but unfortunately there wasn't. Perhaps given the political realities of the day it's unrealistic to have expected anything better.
You're ascribing way too much credit to any President's ability to move our economy. He deserves credit for cutting taxes, just as he deserves scorn for forgetting the whereabouts of his veto pen.
There was plenty of uninterrupted job growth in government, no doubt about that.
The current recession is due to "Washingtonians", the forbears of the Morlocks. They have many subspecies: Republicans, Democrats, lobbyists, unionists, progressives, conservatives, journalists, politicians. They live off the sweat of the productive citizens of our society. Washingtonians control every lever of power in the country, and survive by giving favors to those who allow them to rein.
I’m witchoo.
you speak the truth...
also bush never had a real majority in congress either...
you people forget he tried to privatize social security and it didn’t pass while he had a “majority”
granted of course he could have done more...but he never had a free reign to do whatever he wanted so he unfortunately began to compromise on things like no child left behind and put all his focus on the war on terror
