Bush was a great president and I despise how republicans do not defend him.
Clinton has 70 percent approval while bush has about 30.
He fought 2 wars successfully. He removed Charles Taylor. Ended genocide of south Sudan.
Shifted oil imports from ME to north America.
Kept America safe.
Prevented thousands of deaths during Katrina.
Stopped saddam Hussein.
Brought the deficit down to 260 billion. Got unemployment down to 4.7.
He saved gm and Chrysler and got that money back.
Bush was a great president
If he was so great, why do no Republican candidates have him campaigning with them? Why isn’t he in GOP commercials? Why isn’t he at Romney’s rallies? Because the GOP knows that the public despises him and people haven’t forgotten the near-depression that was going on when Bush left office.
Reagan, in contrast, is the hero of every Republican, and his name can’t be mentioned enough. His picture is on the wall of every GOP headquarters and field office in the land. As it should be.
He didn't defend himself.
He didn't defend himself.
Republicans throughout history have been vilified. Good old communism.
"He fought 2 wars successfully." Dayummm, what is your definition of success?
"He removed Charles Taylor." Well, he did say he needed to leave, but he did NOT remove him.
"Ended genocide of South Sudan." As part of an international effort, yes.
"Shifted oil imports from ME to north America." US oil imports in 2001=4.2 BBbl, in 2007 4.9 BBbl.
"Kept America safe." 3,000 ghosts in NYC may not agree with you.
"Prevented thousands of deaths during Katrina." Well, you got me there, I have NO idea what you are talking about.
"Stopped Saddam Hussein." Yup....then wasted precious blood and treasure 'Nation Building'.
"Brought the deficit down to 260 billion." US SURPLUS $314.8B in 2000, he left with $485B DEFICIT in 2008.
"Got unemployment down to 4.7." Last month in office it was 7.3.
"He saved GM and Chrysler and got that money back." You may be the first FReeper I've ever seen that approves with the bailouts.....and we will NEVER get that money back.
Hey, no doubt he is a much better guy than Obama, but you CANNOT call him a great president.
You despise how republicans do not defend him, but I have shown, through YOUR example, he is indefensible.
And probably right now, if former President George W. Bush were president, (and let’s say he were going for a second term), he would have his sleeves rolled up and would be helping the people of Sandy, INSTEAD of being on the campaign trail, because that would speak more to the people than him being on the campaign trail. Also, he wouldn’t be doing it for a photo opportunity, because many times he did acts of kindness without anyone knowing about it...surely the liberal media didn’t tell anyone about it. And the media accused him constantly. I am not sure why he didn’t stand up to that abuse, and am not sure why the Republican party didn’t do more to defend him, but I know that are country was in more capable hands than in the present government.
Funny, I despise GWB for not defending us.
