The same GWB that won two terms?
BTW...GWB’s unpopularity wasn’t because he didn’t speak like a professor. Many Americans liked that. He lost popularity after they tarred him with katrina, and after Miers, amnesty and TARP.
My beef against GWB is neither Katrina, nor Harriet Miers.
What was he supposed to do during Katrina? Camp out in New Orleans and sit in a paddle boat rescuing stranded people? He had no way to know Brownie was incompetent during Katrina during the first 48 hours. And we have no way to know how Miers would have ruled in SCOTUS.
Where I find fault with GWB is TARP and Iraq. $800 Billion of taxpayer money given to big banks to bail them out of their bad gamble in derivatives was stupid. But even more stupid was Trillions of dollars and thousands of brave soldiers wasted in Iraq on borrowed money from China to protect oil flow to China from middle-east where China gets most of their oil. As soon as the last American troops leave Iraq, Iran is poised to take control of Iraqi oil within months if not weeks. No wonder China is cozying up to Iran.
A lot of people didn’t like Bush’s illegal immigration policies BEFORE he was even elected. The things you mentioned just added to the dislike.
