I liked GWB as a person and voted for him twice, but will never forgive him for not securing the border and starting serious interior enforcement following 9/11.
I did not know he meant “no amnesty” the same way as John McCain means it until after I’d voted for him the sceond time or I wouldn’t have.
Bush was kind man and decent human being. I wonder if he ever understood what it was like to battle the Left though.
I was reading recently about John Ashcroft, how he recused himself from the Scooter Libby investigations (and turned it over to Obama’s FBI director, James Comey who appointed his pal Fitzgerald) and also how Bush had to try to convince Ashcroft to continue warrant-less wiretaps of terrorist suspects.
All I could imagine was - Obama and Holder would never consider such rigamarole. The would simply agree on whatever their leftist goals were and proceed. No concern for separation of powers, scrupulosity over the rule of law, or appearance of impropriety. They would simply DO IT.
