Frankly, who gives a rat's ass whether George W. Bush was a good or bad President, except some pimply, pasty, can't-get-a-date-on-Friday-night historians?
Bush just like BLOOD, as it flowed from People.
...alright....what? Now that's just crazy....
Other than Nixon's horrible tendency towards breaking and entering I think he really was a pretty decent President. He stood up to OPEC took us off the silver standard and created the EPA as well as opened relations with China.
George Bush Jr. like many Presidents before him, including Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, was a bad President.
Hear me out, I am not talking about platforms, ideologies, directives or actions, I am merely talking about the ability of the President to carry the bannister. When George W. Bush became President of the United States he was no longer George W. Bush, son of Barbara and George Bush, he became President Bush-- the current representative of a lineage plagued with promiscuity, dirty-dealings, unethical practices, and the most lethal back-hand known to man. The measure of one's Presidency has more to do with the measure of how they carried the title President, as soon as a President is inaugurated they become the anthropomorphic form of the “dark-side” of success; as success in modernity is not who you can work with, as much as who you can screw (of course there are always exceptions). We as Americans are fortunate to be a highly successful nation, and we are also fortunate to be able to channel the blame and the dirty-baggage to our Commander in chief, and occasionally congress but they are just not as fun to watch.
President Bush had a chance to finish his Presidency strong, without allowing the world to cave his chest in. However when it was his time for his skirt to fly up, Monroe style, people saw what every President for the past century, or two, had been doing. Instead of smacking-faces, gasping, and re-arranging his attire, Bush took it, and denied any and everything that was apparent. He appeared to no longer care about his legacy, and he just wanted to gtfo. He did not fall prey to a victim of failed policy, but as a victim of loneliness.
I don't blame him. If 7 out of 10 people in my class commented on how bad of a student I was, then I would not want to show up the next day to class. If 3 out of the 10 who approved were also bashing me on the side, and plotting the next group activity without my influence, I would be there, standing in the vent with a red-face.
Oh gosh, POOr George. He was not only a bad president but incomparison with People like Carter, George was a night mare. Carter wanted an end to war, and death. George promoted greed, war and death.
I did not vote for Carter the second time, I at least understood his motives.

Bush may have been a bad president, but he wasn't always bad. If he hadn't been brought into the dark side, represented by the Neocons, he would have been a decent president. Before he went to the side of the Neocons, Bush was a pragmatist, and a pretty decent politician, as far as politicians go.
How absurd; the only way anyone can follow this line of illogical nonsense is for one to believe that there is a uniform definition of "NEOCON", which doesn't exist, and to claim that the previous administration and many Democrats in the Senate and Congress were all NEOCONS as well.
What Historians will make note of about Bush’s leadership qualities was that even in the face of intense and misguided criticism, he still held his hand out to those who backstabbed him and never attempted to impugn them or insult them with the same level of demagoguery they showed towards him; Ted (the drunk) Kennedy would be example number one, Clinton (the philanderer “I didn’t have sexual relations) number two.
Carry on.

Yeah I was like..."uh, huh? wait...what? no...seriously?"

Neocon - A Liberal that has been mugged by reality.
I didn't make that up either. William Kristol himself made that definition.
I did a FACT check here and couldn't find any. :2wave:
