Thank you George W. Bush. For having the fortitude to fight the Islamics. For having class. For ignoring the low class attacks against you. For discerning the truth when you were surrounded by yellow dogs shouting lies. I am proud to call you my President. You have inspiered me with your true courageous leadership.
Sorry, but I don't feel like wadding through this guy's verbal diarrhea to find out the answer.
If only W was proficient in English Language....he won’t be considered such a big failure.
Failed, MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree.
“Failed Presidency” and/or “failed policies” are keywords that are a sure sign of Democratic party “strategerie”.
You may dismiss as irrelevant any screeds that contain these words.
I read through about half of it, and then couldn’t stomach reading any more.
Where’s the beef?
>> The failure of the Bush presidency is the dominant fact of American politics today.
The “failure of the Bush presidency” is NOT a dominant fact.
In fact, it’s not a fact at all, it’s merely an opinion.
As an opinion, it can be argued either way; it’s far from difficult to argue against it.
When I run into that in sentence 1, I can’t help but conclude the other 67 paragraphs aren’t worth my time.
It’s a three flusher for sure.
Agreed.
He could be as articulate as “Charles Emerson Winchester the Third” (of MASH fame) and still be considered a failure by his detractors.
Ain’t what you say or how you say it but what you do that counts. ;-)
Amen.
A fool may be known for his many words.
Anyone who thinks the Bush presidency is a “failed” presidency is ignorant.
History will judge Bush as a fine president. History will be kind to him.
On the other hand, history will eviscerate modern Democrats.
I think history will be much kinder to Bush especially if they have a free Iraq. I know thats a standard line they always say about presidents that leave with low approval ratings. I was just thinking that for much of the Bush presidency that the economy did well when perhaps Iraq was not going as well and now that Iraq has seriously turned around the economy is going thru a stuff time. Clearly getting two USSC conservatives justices on the court is big.
Drivel.
Failure in the eyes of those who wish Saddam was still running Iraq, filling his mass graves, threatening the entire middle east, torturing thousands etc etc.....
What have the Bush years been about? To answer that question, it is helpful to review Bush's leadership in light of the presidency of Ronald Reagan, for, broadly and from the beginning, Bush's issue profile has been closer to that of Reagan than has the profile of any other Republican president or nominee in the six presidential elections starting with 1988. To me, Reaganism means traditionalism on social issues, supply-side tax rate cuts in economics, and an assertive foreign policy featuring American moral leadership on behalf of a more democratic world.
In each of these three policy areas, Bush developed distinctive approaches that, while consistent with those of Reagan, were more than derivative. They represented, at least arguably, further development of the Reagan core themes, adapted to the political scene 20 years removed from the world Ronald Reagan grappled with and successfully reshaped.
Perhaps on National Defense, I would agree. The Bush Doctrine was perfect, yet once we got into Iraq it seemed to fall to the wayside.
On fiscal issues, I must disagree. The farm bill he pushed through, the educational bill were anti-Reagan.
A generation from now, there will be parades in George W. Bush’s honor in Iraq - and perhaps all across the Middle East.
