I liked Bush, Condi and all of them back then, still like Dubya - I’ll admit. I think he leads with his heart, you can see it in how he treats the Military. Turns out that none of them were the conservatives we thought them to be.
Potlatch, that’s fine. It’s water under the bridge for me. I’m not here to give you a hard time over it. I saw his proclivity to toss money at education in Texas as a fix, to be way too Leftist for me. Generally money isn’t the problem. It’s the spending outside the classroom that is. Fix that, reallocate funds, and things fix themselves.
His support for amnesty was the last nail in his coffin for me. I will never support someone who wants ‘not an amnesty amnesty’.
Did he do some decent things? Sure. Were they enough?
His legacy has two more years to go. Nice, good heart, I’m sorry but that just doesn’t cut it.
Jimmy Carter was nice. He was also a lamebrain.
