The polls are overwhelmingly negative. But you got to agree that the GOP under Bush Jr was good at foreign diplomacy also.
Or Harding, Coolidge, or Grant.
The economic collapse was culmination of the failed bush policies. Giving tax cuts to the rich, bushcare, no child left behind, giving subprime loans to minimum wage workers, lack of regulation, two failed wars, and the list goes on. Undeniably the worst president in american history. Not even close.
His supreme court picks were the two best in modern history
I don't understand how someone could put Bush and Carter in the same boat.
As to the question, I think that Bush was a simpleton and the neocons (Cheney's gang) played him like a fiddle. Kind of sad that Bush got taken advantage of like that, but he chose his fate.
Carter was incompetent, Bush wasn't.
Carter was incompetent, Bush wasn't.
Was George W Bush a good president?
Whatever your opinion of Carter is, Bush was not a bright man, and actively surrounded himself with malevolent influences. Carter didn't.
I don't think he was a very good president because of the bail-outs and, of course, the wars. I remember thinking when it was announced that we would be going in to invade Iraq, and I wondered, why Iraq?However, I can't ignore the fact that we had just suffered from one of the biggest attacks ever on our soil, and we were QUITE pissed off at that time.
You have no idea whether or not " Bush was a bright man "
You just bought into the Democrats false narratives that portrayed their primary political opponent as a stupid hick.
You know who's not " bright " ?
Obama, Hillary, Carter, and the millions of Americans who equated plattitudes and bumper sticker slogans to Presidential qualifications.
I amjust an American,so I could not vote according to the various categories listed.
As an American, I was embarrassed to have such an obviously simple-minded man as president. I hated Nixon back in the day,but at least I respected his intelligence.
As a American I'm embarrassed that there are so many simple minded and easily influenced people in my Country.
Who allowed themselves to be influemced by Partissn Democrat narratives.
SHORTER: Republicans good, Democrats bad.
And here's where malevolence comes in. The necons knew America was pissed, knew Iraq had nothing to do with it, and conflated Iraq with 9/11 in order to gain support for the invasion.
The notion that the Bush Admin was simply a victim of faulty intelligence is a canard. They used intelligence they knew was faulty or flatout incorrect.
This is why I get angry/frustrated when Obama is pestered with scandal dandruff like Benghazi. So he changed some talking points? Maybe? Holy crap is that small potatoes.
No, Democrats spent 8 years beating up on Bush and Millions of easily manipulated and entertained Americans bought into their false narratives.
his diplomacy was " today l talked to god and l am declaring crusade against the muslim world "
I disagree that it's "small potatoes." Everything the president does has an effect. I can understand your frustration with the Bush administration, but that is HISTORY now. There is not a thing you can do to change it. We have to concentrate on the current and the future. This is why continually bringing up George Bush's presidency is just kind of pointless.
If God tells you something, you have to do it. Surely you understand. What if God told you to do something, would you do it? or would you tell God to shut up?
