Bush has had an awful lot of "Carter Moments". The man whom the neocons claimed would be as great as Ronald Reagan will end having been as inept as Jimmy Carter.
He’s making Carter look confident and capable. Carter’s screw-ups were small beans compared to this - Bush is screwing up the war against Islamic conquest and re-igniting the Cold War in one swift, fell stroke.
If a person were supportive of the war, at least they could hang their hat on that. If not, Bush has been one of the worst presidents we have ever had. I would argue that despite the war in Iraq, Bush has been both cavalier with his implementation of conservatism as well as his implementation of homeland security. As citizens are submitted to cavity exams at airports, he still allows 70,000 people from the nation who brought us 09/11, to reside in our nation via the same education visas that brought that attact to our soil. And then there’s our southern border.
You’ve really got to wonder what drives that sort of mentality (and I admit I am using that noun rather loosely).
“..would be as great as Ronald Reagan..”
I once agreed with that prediction.
I soon put on sackcloth and ashes a kept on mumbling, “Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.”
What is even more depressing is what is happening today with the choice of candidates for POTUS.
