There's president "Religion of Peace" with the main financier of Islamic extremism.

admire President Bush. I think he is a good man and I have said so before. But as Bush leaves office he is looking more and more like a deer in headlights....
...A sound education, a clear and steady mind, real world experience, a moral compass, the ability to listen to and understand conflicting points of view, superior communication skills, common sense and courage are the tools a statesman needs. With the possible exception of education, none of these skills can be taught. They must be lived, learned, and earned.

> Probably because he is watching his legacy crumble around him. IMO I think he is a good man and history will look favorably on him.
Agree with the first statement, disagree on the second. W fumbled Iraq, immigration, education, the economy, and more, by tossing conservatism out and partnering with socialists.
His intentions were honorable, but he did not have the stuff to really lead this country. Now, with ZeroB looming to take the helm, we are well and truly screwed. It is well past time for conservatives to rise up and give this country some real alternatives to the socialist slide that has started to accelerate.
The same used to be said about Jimmy Carter, but not anymore. Good men don't run the country into the ground, they don't look into Putin's eyes and see his soul, and they don't reward criminal behavior.
He came down almost every rung for me when he signed CFR and said something along the lines that "some of this is unconstitutional but I'll sign it anyway and let the courts work that out".
In my mind that vow to uphold the constitution is black and white; if you think it's unconstitutional you don't sign it and hope that somebody else fixes it.
That's just not right and there's just no way to spin it so it is.
Lets face it, Washington is a cesspool.
Obama should fit right in.

Amen to that, my friend.
Have a great Sunday. Its a beauty.
Yes, of course. The old "I had to destroy the free market system to save it" argument. You gotta just love that one. Deer in the headlights indeed. On most principals important to Conservatives, Mr. Bush, unfortunately, couldn't buy a clue if his life depended on it.
We will guard the borders (except we will give citizenship to the invaders).
Abortion is wrong (except in cases of rape or incest).
Stem cell research using human embryos is wrong (except we will finish the ones we already started).
We will support smaller government (except when government needs more control).
I've always thought that that was the basic thinking pattern of a true liberal:
We will speak of all good things (but we will never actually to the hard work).
All ranch and no cattle!
I like George W. Bush.
But that picture shows one of the three things I don’t like: holding hands with what amounts to “Bedouins on Camels”, ignoring the Mexican invasion and persecuting Ramos and Compeon.
That's because like all Liberals, his sense of morality is completely cut off from any form of objective reality. Morality is simply what makes them feel better about themselves regardless of the actual outcomes and consequences.
Well put
The RATS and the radical left were enemies at home. Bush failed to engage them and win. He was too busy trying to be a "compassionate conservative".
He never learned they will take what he gives them but still stab him in the back.
I do to, as a person. But the cases you cite are the tip of the iceberg in his continual and continuing liberally tainted leadership. As a leader: Good riddance.
Out with the bad. In with the worse. But sooner or later we'll find a good one...I hope.
A fumble or two maybe, but the team stayed in the game and just may be winning it.
I personally like Pres. Bush, but I have to agree with this article.
The Democrats in congress are not the Texas Democrats Gov. Bush worked so ably with and McCain Feingold should've been vetoed.
At this, although throw in a political cabal (for lack of a better word) that also has a very skewed positive-negative benefit curve (oh, and to those that blame Democrats for this mess ....well, it is as much in the lap of the so called 'conservative' Republican party, and the 'compassionate conservative' president George Bush has outspent EVERY Democrat president in living memory, and some of his fiscal actions may end up having such dire ramifications on the USA that they would almost make Osama bin Laden hang a bl@@dy poster of bush in his cave as a sign of respect and admiration to a fellow enemy of America. Yes ya Bushbots out there, I said what you just read! President Bush has honestly outdone Osama bin Laden, and now all we can do is wait and see whether Barack bin Obama can outdo George bin Bush ...and marvel at how George bin Bush led to the election of Barack bin Obama in much the same way that Jimmy 'bunny' Carter led to the election of Mr and President and Honorable Ronald Reagan).
You know, I could have gone the rest of my life without having seen that photo.
Any other armchair Quarterbacking is just for lazy folks who wish they could be the President of Joe's Coffee House, but never will be.
