I recommend reading the whole piece before commenting. The excerpt doesn't really give the full story.

Bush is no longer worth reading about, why bother, lost all confidence in bush when he signed the border fence law and acted like he supported it, he didn't, he lied for political purposes.

Today
There are jobs for people who want to work
We have not been attacked in 7 years
We can still bear arms
Some don't like it but we still have freedom of speech and can worship as we please
Parents can still home school
Gas is down
Most have food in the pantry and no one is going hungry
People are staying warm despite Global Warming.
What else? Sure there are some things I wish he had done differently but ...we still have a Constitution.

He is a flop. Did not reduce the size of government. Increased the size and scope of government. A big flop.
To: Gondring
Fairly well balanced story, especially since it is put out by the AP.

Let me put on my rose covered glasses.... Um, Not working.
History will be the judge and I don’t think it will be as kind.

Bush is either a (1) naive novice or (2) an inside man for Obama. We wouldn't have our 1st international president if it weren't for Bush.

I’m not suggesting burying your head but counting your blessings, instead of moaning and griping. When I would think times were bad and go crying to my grandmother she would tell me that I didn’t know what hard times were. I found out later that she was right.

Im not suggesting burying your head but counting your blessings Yeah, most Americans losing half of their retirement savings, watching the country go down the tubes into a socialist never land, watching the Government accelerate the "import" of immigrants while American citizens lose their jobs, the open borders which allow illegals to run wild throughout the country. The rampant and uncontrolled spending that our children and their children will never be able to pay down, the watering down of our constitution and civil rights and all the while bushbots tout his great successes... oh its just peachy keen. My grandmother would've said something else... Like get a rope.

Shrug. We both have the same concerns....just different ways of looking at things I guess.
To: CindyDawg
Enjoy those short-term things while they last, since President Bush has set the stage for losing them long-term.

Yep, don’t get me wrong I voted for bush twice, the second time to just to keep kerry out, but that doesn’t mean I have to love the guy and his wrong headed policies and actions.
We have to get beyond his administration which has set the conservative movement back for years to come, and start grooming “real” conservative candidates to start repairing the damage that is about to be done by the leftist, which Bush helped to elect.
The bush legacy will probably not be decided in our lifetime.

Your list is the saddest defense of this chump I've seen yet. Of the 8 items you listed, 7 of them were true under the Clinton Administration. Do you count your blessings for him? 2 of them are constitutionally guaranteed rights that have been in place under EVERY U.S. President. Way to go, George! Face it. He is an abject failure and an insult to conservatism.

And ignoring the damage done by a liberal Republican will just make it so we continue to lose ground. We must make it very clear to the GOP that any future liberal (so-called "moderate") candidates will not receive our votes.
No more "rally 'round the RINO!"

Yep, but watch what you say as the BushBots are sometimes just as vicious as the ObamaBots, but worse as they believe they actually OWN the conservative vote... Then again I’m always up for a good fight! ;-)

LOL.
“Cheer up, things could be worse.”
“So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse.”
Or like the time the motivational speaker was explaining positive thinking.
He said, “About 95% of the things we worry about never happen.”
Somebody in the back spoke up on a loud voice, “So worrying works?”
