I've argued with Ohiowfan about Bush's downside before, and generally agree with Malkin's article.

I'd like you to respond to Pissants list in post 37 please. I noticed you didn't.

RE #37:”..(MM) she left out a few things over that 8 year record.( of Bush. He ) fostered a booming economy..”

Well this one is laughable and I have to take issue. There was no boom. It was a massive credit expansion (enabled by Greenspan) followed by a massive credit contraction (when interest rates had to be raised) leaving little but debt and misery behind. If Bush had fostered a booming economy then McCain would have won 2008 in a landslide. In fact the crappy economy is what killed any chances of McCain winning. And I know a huge number of freepers here know this is true because I read their posts. The great Bush economic legacy could not nor cannot be sold. I wish it were true and Republicans won 2008 in a landslide (maybe not McCain) but it is complete fantasy.

Bush pushed the Homeownership for minorites with bad credit (many were illegals) so he is not of the hook there blaming that mess on others.

I do really like the SCOTUS picks, that was the highlight of his presidency. So far I like their decisions.
