Nope, people who failed to defend the relatively conservative Bush administration and let the left trash it with impunity and push the squishy moderates to the left for one election are the reason we got Obama. This includes people here who were constantly trashing Bush because they did not agree with every single thing he did. I suspect that includes you, so congratulations for giving us Obama.
As for Ms. Bush, I see she learned nothing from her mother-in-law saying equally stupid things in 1992.
Whatever. George Bush brought the disdain upon himself. I voted for him twice considering the alternatives but consider him to be and was a miserable failure as president.
The key person who didn’t defend the Bush administration’s policies was W himself. He should have gone on the attack against the MSM immediately after the 2000 election was kept from being stolen by Gore and against Mayor Nagin, Governor Blanco and the MSM immediately after the Katrina flooding occurred. Quite frankly, the city and state of Louisiana had primary responsibility for NO’s legions of drones—not the federal government.
Wasn’t it one GWB who rarely defended HIMSELF?
Wasn’t it Rush and other media hosts who looked the other way when GWB strayed?
It was not we constitutionalists who brought this about, but the GWB people themselves!
GWB was a major disappointment except for his two court appointments, where he did better than Reagan and GHWB.
