And you think we are better off now?
Last I heard, Congress is who spends and Bush should have vetoed more.
Then again, he did get blind-sided with 911 and has history of reaching across the aisle, not that it did him any good.
All presidents make mistakes and yes, Bush made is share. But more than any other, he fought back when attacked, long over due.
The Paulites say Bush was a failure so we have Obama.
Thus, since Ron Paul and all other Libertarians are failures, a Libertarian is not and never will be president.
