W was better than Gore or Kerry would have been, and light years better than Obama, but that doesn’t make him anything special.
His, and his family’s, obsession with Hispanics and his two attempts in 2006 and 2007 to force amnesty on Republican voters who did not want it did more to weaken the party and usher in Obama than anything else.
GHWB trashed much of what Reagan accomplished and W did the same with much of what Gingrich and many Republicans in the ‘90s accomplished in Congress. The Bushes are wastrels who come along and use and misuse the acheivements of their predecessors without ever being honest about their intentions.
The only time we’ve heard from W since his leaving office was a few occasions he chose to insult and hector all the ‘nativists’ and ‘isolationists’ who oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. Not a word from him as Obama squandered all that was accomplished in Iraq, Obama failures that will probably make all the sacrifice of lives and treasure in vain. Not a word from W who set it all in motion and sent hundreds of thousands to Iraq and Afghanistan.
George W. Bush could tear of the head of a rooster on stage, drink its blood, and pronounce a voodoo curse on Barack Obama and it wouldn’t make any difference. Some people need to look forward, and not backward.
Well, that’s it, He’s not talking, and yet, Carter and the Clintons can’t apparently shut up until they pass on from this life to the next. I’m actually thankful not to hear Bush commenting to the extent that Carter is.
