Two camps on that. Everything is Bush’s fault. And NOTHING is Bush’s fault.
Bush had 8 years and didn’t get the job done and we will pay dearly for his failure.
Yes. Bush had good intentions. But in the real world, intentions don't matter. It's results that matter. And as you said, Bush didn't get the job done.
Bush created two more Vietnams under his watch. Inexcusable. And the radical muslims are today bolder than ever. Why? Because Bush did not destroy them the way FDR destroyed the fascists. FDR was weak in regards to Stalin, but that's another story. FDR completely destroyed the fascists. Were there any armed nazi units running around, anywhere, after 1945? No! Bush should have followed that example, but didn't.
On domestic issues, I don't buy the excuse that the Dem's controlled Congress. Bush had the veto pen.
Sorry for the rant. But Bush could have accomplished so very much. Instead he broke the country, and I don't mean just financially.
