President Bush had a number of flaws, but comparing him to the current occupant of the White House...well...there is no comparison. Agree or disagree with him or his policies, George Bush performed his tasks in a professional manner. Today, our president is a gangsta. How low have we sunk!
Indeed
It always startles me a bit when someone says something like this. Of course he "had" a number of flaws. He still does. He's a human being, just like all the rest of us 6 billion folks on the planet. No mere mortal has ever been born without "flaws," and none ever will be.
The measure of a person is not their flaws, but the sum total of their lives and achievements. Focusing solely on any person's flaws is always a mistake. Focus, instead, on the balance sheet of a person's life.
President George W. Bush is, in substantive ways, a genuinely great man. The balance sheet of his life shows far, far, FAR more great and good achievements on the positive side than the negative side of his ledger.
In my opinion, the great failing -- tragedy, even -- of modern conservatives is that most tend to look only at the negative side of the ledger for most conservative/Republican leaders. By doing that, very few are acceptable. We split our votes and the likes of Obama get elected.
Gangsta wanna be. He can't even do that right. All around poseur.
