“”I do think George (W. Bush) is basically a conservative man who believes in God, in the greatness of America, in the protection of life, and in protecting our nation from our enemies ... (but) he turned a blind eye to undisciplined domestic spending while he focused on ensuring funding for a very important war against the perpetrators of terror.”
He just wasn’t a very strong leader. That’s my feeling. He did turn a blind eye, and I think he was naive regarding his advisors.
