Good points BUT....it goes to show Bush II was a weak leader.
As much as we hated to see what and how Obama shoved universal healthcare down our throats, the fact is he lied, cheated and bullied his way to his goal.
Bush never sought to offend voters. He was content to target previous adversaries like Saddam, Dan Rather and others. This is petty compared to what we worked so hard to provide him in a 2nd term.
The 2nd term was to be all about entitlement and tax reforms. Bush put all these reforms in the hands of party elites and then sat back and let them operate at will. In other words Bush II put everything on ‘auto-pilot’ while he himself ‘waited’ for the reports.
What he needed to do was to steer those commissions in the direction that we conservatives wanted because it was us that reelected him and gave him a GOP Congress. But he acted like a RINO and cursed the Swift Boat Vets while nominating Harriet Myers to be a Supreme Court Justice.
Bush II, a pitiful leader who only rose to the Presidency because of name recognition, and because Americans were tired of the petty criminal class comprising the Clintons and a deranged Gore-Caligula.
Since Reagan we have been battered, bruised and abused by an elite class of self-appointed aristocrats. We’ve come now to the aristocracy versus the peasantry, the ruling class versus the country class.
I have never understood why he acted the way he did during Katrina. All anyone had to do was to look at the track of the hurricane after it turned north that a monster storm was about to hit New Orleans and that something extraordinary had to be done. He should have stayed at Barksdale since he must have know the limited capabilities of the mayor and the governor. Did he cut them slack because they were Democrats?
