he George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum opened seven years ago and anchors the southeastern corner of campus at Southern Methodist University, where I teach history. In late November 2016, I took a tour of the facility with five college friends who were visiting from the East Coast. The recent presidential election was much on our minds as we wandered through the building, contemplating various artifacts from Bushs two terms in office. Although we were hardly fans of his presidency, one of my palsfearful, like everyone in our group, of a Trump administrationgot misty-eyed when reflecting upon Bushs obvious love of country. After an hour or so, with a requisite stop for photos in the museums full-sized and perfectly appointed replica of the Oval Office, we left in glum moods.

NO. The more we know, the less respect I have for his work, his politics. For near-everybody he appointed in ALL of his government positions - including the military and Pentagon.

Do they even realize how transparent they are? Years from now, we’ll be reading articles favorably comparing Trump to the next Republican president.

Translation: "We painted Bush as an extremist because he was walking us towards socialism instead of running us there, and now we have a guy who wants to turn us away from socialism entirely! Frowny face!"

No, it will actually get worse as we delve deeper and deeper into his complicity with the globalist cabal—and worse.

My biggest political regret is ever having kind words about GWB and anyone associated with him.

George W Bush becomes redeemable when Islam becomes the religion of peace.

Maybe the leftists at Texas Monthly are ready, but nobody else here is.

Rehabilitate? I don’t think is reputation has even reached the nadir it is headed toward yet. With each passing year it is more clear that W. Bush, like his dad, was a swamp creature who made things worse, not better.

Now that Teump is in the previous hated Republican is made to look good.
When W was in, his father looked great. When Reagan was in, Nixon looked great.
Bottom line, they hate ALL republicans. It’s just a trick.

We are not finished finding out all the ulgy things he did so why rehabilitate him? He helped Bubba steal $2 billion from the poor starving people of Haiti. We know he might have been part of the criminal gang in the deep state that committed treasonous in subverting our president. So hell NO!

Obvious, Bush in that case...however, Iraq, or trying to shove amnesty down our throats, our a ridiculous SCOTUS pick, or not standing up to the Democrats...or...shall I go on?

Bush is giving Obama a run for the title of worst POTUS of my life time. I never would have thought that was possible but here we are.
