I’m aware of their role in the mess but he was the president he could have done something

He was President, not dictator. The Dems had enough votes to block any action proposed by the GOP.

Well I knew it would end in a disaster and i’m glad everything collapsed on his watch to ruin his legacy.

Very interesting that you want Bush to take the fall for it, even though you acknowledge the Dems part in it.

He made it worse of course by bailing out Wall Street and sending Paulson to Congress to tell us the world would end if a few investment banks went down.

I'll grant that he let the Dems walk all over him after they won control of Congress, and his "reaching across the aisle" helped give them Congress. Although I don't blame him for the collapse, this is a big reason why I agree with "No New Bushes".

He took a balanced budget and ran a deficit every year of his presidency.

I was mad year after year because im a fiscal hawk.

I’m also a big fan of Senator Taft so how do you think I felt seeing this guy on TV telling the world we’re invading a nation that never attacked America and was 6,000 miles away?

I was so happy it all collapsed on his watch. In fact I had a huge party.

He left office with a 27% approval.

Absolutely pathetic and well deserved.

Now hopefully we will have a new generation of conservatives determined to actually shut down Federal agencies rather than create them (DHS? TSA?).

Leaders who actually know how to run a government and hand off to a successor... the last good one was Reagan.
