The media has gone beyond condemning when it comes to President Bush. The media has picked President Bush apart from being an alcoholic to being unintelligent to being uncaring and a warmonger. The media started this before President Bush got into office and have never ceased. Throw the wonders of Hollywood in the mix and one wonders how President Bush carried it all without a whimper. President Bush is an honorable man?

Me too.
Just because msm says things, don’t make them right or true!
I’m in. Full agreement. Amen.
Has anyone ever heard the Affirmative Action President referred to as “an honorable man”, or can anyone imagine that adjective coming up as a description of Bush’s replacement? I doubt it. Those of us who value honor will miss Bush. I don’t consider him one of our great presidents because he did not stand up to our domestic enemies in Congress (TARP and many other major errors). Still, Bush is a very good president for standing up to fight our foreign enemies and doing so far more successfully than any of us could have imagined possible.
In the eyes of history, all the silly jokes and ridicule will be lost, and President George W. Bush will have left an indelible mark on the history of the free world. Much like Reagan, he will be viewed much more positively in 20 years than he is today. And not only because while he’ll be out tooling around the ranch on his mountain bike, most of these intellectuals and left-wing journalists will be drooling down their bibs at the local home for aged moonbats.
The MSM will not have a bad word to say about BO though.
I see the WE LOVE BUSH crowd is fishing for compliments again.
Wow, this is the joke of the day. Thanks for the laugh President Dubya. And don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
This is something that I have disagreed with President Bush about. I doubt that I know the whole story. There would almost seem to be some agreement made with Mexico on these two. I think this will be one of those things that will be explained as time goes by.
Yes, an honorable man...but a lousy president.
Precisely. One of many flaws in this counterfeit conservative.
The mere fact that the leftist media dislike an individual is in itself no reason to praise them.
Actually they should PRAISE Bush. HE gave the Dems the White House AND Congress.
Amen - God bless him and reward him for his faithful service.
Every day they have to pick up the paper and see the Obamanation in the White House, every day they have to listen to new laws enacted by the majority Democrat lunatics in Congress, they have only TWO people to thank _
George W. Bush and John McCain.
“There would almost seem to be some agreement made with Mexico on these two.”
Bush was elected to be President of the U.S., not Mexico.
I think he got his priorities confused and no explanation can excuse his actions with respect to our southern border, the illegals who have been allowed to violate it, the nation which has conspired to destroy it, and the persecution of those Americans who tried to defend it.
Hasta la Vista Jorge !
No need to go fish for compliments. We have every right to see a good and honest man, and in my heart I know he is misunderstood. History will prove it as well.
I agree that he is honorable...but, much like the honorable Jefferson Davis, he is also a failure.
Members and associates of the Florencia 13 street gang were convicted Monday on a range of federal charges, including racketeering, drug trafficking and attempted murder (specifically of black people who happened to walk into their territory). A Mexican gang with members rumored to be illegal immigrants.
