It’s going to be fun watching the last vestiges of Bush lovers here on FR continue to hold this man up on a pedestal. If Bush had only remained neutral instead of swinging left on financial and social issues we wouldn’t have Obama.

It's fun for the majority of freepers who respect President Bush for his character, patriotism and class, to watch the vestiges of irrational Bush haters flail on every pro-Bush thread.

Apparently you don't have much going on in your lives that you hang on to this irrational emotion against a fine man who did the best he could, asking God daily for help, and leading us with strength.

You know, ray, it IS possible to disagree with policy and still not hate the man.

btw, your premise that Bush led us to Obama is highly flawed and not backed up by historical fact.

Well, it was going to be either Obama or Hillary. There was no chance McCain would have won, no matter what Bush's record was. The libs, far left wingers, and anti-American crowd were sure to get McCain defeated, whatever they had to do. Obama only became the front runner for the Dems because they focused on the race issue, knowing that the bi-racial candidate would certainly sew up the black vote. That was their cushion. And the powers that be behind it all also knew that many white Americans would vote out of "guilt," and pretending to be politically correct. America was played, and those who didn't care about the importance of knowing the true background of Obama, fell for the "warm fuzzies" feeling and voted based on emotion, not intelligence.

Hillary would have been almost as bad as Zero on national policies, and certainly would have pushed many socialist agendas. However, there would not be the Muslim love fest going on in the White House under Hillary's leadership. The only other difference is that she would have been stronger internationally, and retained more respect for the U.S.

So, no, Bush did not lead us to Obama.
