The Singular Vision Of George W. Bush

IBD Editorials ^ | 4 June 2008 | Staff

The Presidency: Burdened by a Democratic Congress that can't see beyond the next election, at least the U.S. is blessed with a president with the ability to see a better future and the courage to take risks to achieve it.

His father didn't have the vision thing, but fortunately it's one trait that didn't skip the son's generation.

Bush the younger sees a world where democracy is the wave of the future, and an ownership society where people aren't at the mercy of politicians bribing them with their own money.

The Singular Vision Of George W. Bush

Or, rather, The Tunnel Vision of Investor's Business Daily.

[snowrip]

Awesome.

[heywaitadarnminute]

Bush has been totally blind on the illegals. He has no vision at all except that he wants to allow millions of uneducated and unproductive dregs of Mexico and South America in to the US. The Bush "vision" is the destruction of the US as we know it.

Bush kisses up to those that hate him and spits at those that got him elected. He's a wimp who has ruined the Republican party.

"The Presidency: Burdened by a Democratic Congress ...

Burdened?

I recall just after the last election Bush saying something akin to, "Now I will have a Congress I can work with on Immigration Reform!" or words to that effect.

[the invisib1e hand]

like a disease; like leeches; the opportunistic and unproductive left attaches itself to a host and proceeds to take it over. The Democratic party, for example. FR, for another.

[Shermy]

Reads like the eulogy for the Bush Administration.

The Presidency: Burdened by a Democratic Congress that can't see beyond the next election

... and burdened with a president who can't even see that far, apparently.

[HaveHadEnough]

And on illegal immigration???

It's petty clear that Bush has kissed up with big agriculture and is supporting this bill because that business needs (or wants) a source of cheap labor.

Bush the younger sees a world where democracy is the wave of the future, and an ownership society where people aren't at the mercy of politicians bribing them with their own money.

As illustrated by his growth of government, support for the Law of the Sea treaty, and efforts to create a North American Union. I guess that attempts to bribe 20 million illegal aliens with American taxpayer money and citizenship in an attempt to get their vote must not count, though.

I wish it was and wish the general election was in November. As a long time Bush supporter, I am more than ready for his Administration to be over. I usually don’t comment but I wouldn’t give you two cents for this Administration right now except for Dick Cheney.

Don’t want to see a Bush or any of his people near the WH in the near future and unless I change my attitude, I don’t want a Bush ever in the WH or in an Administration ever again. I have had more than enough.

Tunnel vision? Your comment is unintentionally ironic. ROTFLMAO

How DARE IBD list some reasons to admire Bush's "vision?" Doesn't its staff know it's illegal immigration, or nothing? [hoot]

[RegulatorCountry]

It appears that having problems with “the vision thing” runs in the family.

[txroadkill]

I don't agree with his border policy, but this man is still my President and Hero.

Let's not forget where we were and how he lead us out of it.

[Gondring]

But massive immigration will help investors at the expense of Americans in general. Of course, IBD is in favor of having everyone subsidize their profits. Smaller investors won't get nearly the return on immigration that large investors will, yet they will bear the burden of costs.

Democracy is not the wave of the future. We had democracy in Gaza strip and Venezeula, and they ended up voting in dictatorships. Reason is there is a huge poor/ignorant voting bloc in the voting population that can easily be manipulated by radicals. The only wave that is universal is the desire to be rich and powerful. Go to any country in the world and ask (developed and undeveloped). Everyone wants to get rich and powerful, but you get mixed concepts on what is freedom and democracy. Any nation that has a huge rural/urban poor are not ready for democracy. Sooner or later the poor majority will turn on the rich/middle class minority.

[spectre]

Yes, I remember THAT President Bush, before he was taken over by aliens.
