3 “For the 28 years that he served as chancellor of Germany, Bismarck preserved what he had built by a restrained and wise diplomacy, which was the single most important element in maintaining the peace of Europe.” – Henry Kissinger Some people complain I never have a good word to say about the United States. That’s not quite true. I am sure if I dig deep enough, I can find a piece or two from a daily column that spans more than a decade where I said something nice. But today, I will change tracks: George H.W. Bush, the 41st US president. The more I read about him, the more it seems to me he has been the most underrated president of the last century. Sadly, that tends to be the fate of one-term presidents.

No Freeper flew combat missions against Japa
Freeper dogma is fallacious
Ha ha ha ha ha ... loyal to the CIA!
I moved down here and see these names on the tollways. I cringe knowing one of the biggest purveyor of welfare who escalated Vietnam and the two Skull and Bones/CIA/NWO/Iraq Globalist scumbags are on signs. Keep Robert E. Lee and pull down those jackasses.
I appreciate his service to the NWO.

Loyal VP to Reagan, 89 percent approval rating in February 1991 but screws it all up with read my lips..
Xxxxxxx.
B.S. he was a Pence to Reagan and he blew his own slime cover with his words about being in “ a New World Order”. In 1991 I believe.
Those were the days of Republican politicians love affair with the NR subtle flirts with the Managerial Revolution.
We need MAGA candidates who understand the deep problems with RINOS.
A CIA globalist should not be in the Oval Office.
“1 LBJ and 2 Bushes?”
The Bushes were carpetbaggers. They were Northeastern elites.
America’s First CIA President.
The read my lips definitely fiasco definitely hurt Bush but Clinton would have won anyway. Clinton ran circles around him in the debates and was quite well spoken and could lob some serious BS. Few people could have beaten Clinton and certainly not daddy Bush.
You make Clinton sound like an immensely popular shoo-in, the people’s natural choice because of his great skills and likability.
57% of the people voted against him and in 1996 as president, he didn’t reach 50%.
Calvin Coolidge is the most underrated president.
“All the criticisms us FReepers have of Bush Sr are true. But at the same time I have thoroughly appreciated Bush Sr giving us my five favorite words of DC for decades: “
His other gift to the Supreme Court was David Souter.
“You make Clinton sound like an immensely popular shoo-in, the people’s natural choice because of his great skills and likability.”
That’s about right. He won in 1992 with 370 electoral votes to 168 and wiped the floor with Bush.
Only time I agreed with Jesse Jackson. “Stay Out Da Bushes”
Bush threw that election to Clinton, they were pals.
I believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and George HW Bush the great!
Yeah, 43% of the vote, with the full force of the media behind him.
exactly
Offshoring has been going on for a very long time. It really took off after Bush left the White House and the tech boom got underway. Support for offshoring and free trade was bipartisan. Our leaders thought we would somehow benefit and most of us voted for them. Complaints about the farm belt or the rust belt being left behind have also been going for some time. Reagan and Reaganites don’t escape their fair share of the blame either.
