Whatever. I do not put Bush in the same class as Zero the Hero. Far from it. In relative terms, Bush was obviously far superior to Zero. But, let’s face it, Bush was far from ideal.

As for foreign policy, I give Bush an A+. Outstanding response to 9/11. Yes, maybe the Iraq war could have gone a little better. No WMD was embarrassing, but he made the right call, IMO — every creditable intelligence agency in the world believed Saddam had the WMD. Anyone who argues otherwise can just STFU.

On domestic policy, however, we have to get real: the Farm Bill? Prescription drug program? Deficit spending? His attempt to shove amnesty for illegals down out throats? Come on, if any Democrat president had done *any* of these things, we would be incensed. (If you don’t believe me, just wait until Zero pushes for amnesty later this year. FreeRepublic will go ballistic, but what is our answer when the Obama drones say, Well, Bush supported “a pathway to citizenship, too”?)

Bush was great on foreign policy, but far from ideal on domestic policy. But, yes, far superior — in all respects — to our current CIC.

And thanks for calling me a jerk. A very constructive comment. Really.
