Agreed- compared with the current marxist jackass, Bush looks g-r-r-great!
Compared with the gold standard, e.g., R. Reagan, not so much.
At best, he was a mixed bag- some positive things and some very negative things.
As time goes by, we are able to see how his failures helped pave the way for the mess we are in now, and that doesn’t exactly put him in the Hall of Fame of presidents.

I usually get tarred and feathered for saying this, but even Ronald Reagan had his faults. Let’s face it — all presidents all human; so it’s natural for them to screw up from time to time. Don’t get me wrong — Reagan was probably the closest president to perfection — I just don’t worship him as much as most people here do.
But it used to be that you could usually count on a president — even the Democrats — to do something right once in a while. With most of our past presidents, you could tell they had love for the United States and believed in the principles on which this nation was founded. It seems to me that George Bush, in spite of his faults, was one of those presidents. The current occupant — I haven’t seen anything he has accomplished in the last 20 months that was good and right. He and his accomplices are out to destroy this country, and everything he has done to date bears witness to that. Unlike Carter who was thoroughly incompetent or Bill Clinton who spent his time chasing babes, this “president” is just plain evil.
