I will agree with you for his first four years. In his second term he got weak knees and destroyed everything he and the party stood for.
In Bush’s defense...his foremost objective was our security and I think the viscous left continually trying to cut him off at the knees - for doing a good job - had to have it’s effect.
The left in this country is absolutely rabid - I’m surprised anyone runs for office anymore with these hounds from hell out there waiting to tear their prey from limb to limb.
