RE “You’ll be singing a different tune in less than four years. I can remember Conservatives saying Reagan was a disaster.”

LOL, so you think GWB is Reagan? One problem with that analogy, Reagan didn't generate a landslide for the democrat Dukekas in 1988, Bush Sr won on Reagan's coattails. McCain and congressional republicans lost on GWB coattails, he was the fucus of democrats campaigns, all while he cut deals with them.

Your new Reagan GWB poisoned two elections 2006+2008 after his own re-election, he killed off our popular republican governor in 2006, when the democrat failed Baltimore Mayor ran commercials of the two together, So I will never long for GWB, Obama/Pelosi IS his legacy. Everything they do is his legacy.

No, I think GWB is GWB and that you might be singing a different tune about him once Obama is thru with the Presidency.

That isn’t really how it happened, is it?

The actual truth of that is that nothing GWB could do would have pleased the MSM because GWB “stole” two elections that they had engineered for the Dems. GWB was never going to get anything other than bad press. The Dems could have nominated a sack of spuds and they still would have won by a landslide.

Coupled with that, when it came time to nominate his replacement, the Conservatives couldn’t get their act together and put a real conservative candidate forward to run for the GOP. It was embarrasing to watch! That had nothing to do with GWB and everything to do with a Conservative movement that couldn’t find its arse with both hands and a map.

Time will tell. In eight years time, once Obama is thru with the US, you might see things differently.
