People now recognizing Bush was a Great President...

Yeah.....

BUSH IS BACK!!!!

"Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin is seizing on a recent poll showing that George W. Bush's approval numbers are up to declare "Bush is back," arguing that America is starting to appreciate Bush's policies in the light of what she calls the "rotten" Obama presidency. To make her case, Rubin neatly excises from Bush's record every single massive failure and disaster that resulted in Bush leaving office as one of the least popular presidents in history."​

Jesus, that man is wearing the most horrible wig I ever saw.

Where is Jennifer Rubin? And what is Bush doing with that man behind him?

In a new brick-and-limestone museum, visitors to an interactive theater will be presented with the stark choices that confronted the nation’s 43rd president: invade Iraq or leave Saddam Hussein in power? Deploy federal troops after Hurricane Katrina or rely on local forces? Bail out Wall Street or let the banks fail?

• Cruise through Yale as a drunken frat boy, or sober up long enough to take notice of the world's intellectual traditions?

• Attend all your required Texas Air National Guard duties, or call in sick?

• McDonald's coffee spoon or rolled-up hundred?

• Hit up daddy's pals for business investments, or hit up daddy's pals for business investments?

• Use your insider knowledge to get out from under Harken Oil just before the stock collapses and buy the Texas Rangers, or the Baltimore Colts?

• Build a new stadium with taxpayer money, or move the team to some other city that's built a new stadium with taxpayer money?

• Realize a 1242% profit when the team is sold, or hold out for a good deal?

• Run for governor of Texas, or move to an island and found your own colony of Jebus-mazed explosion fanciers?

• Fakey Texas drawl, or Cagney impression?

• Run for President, or do something for your country for once?

47 per cent think he was a great President. Once again, since when dies 47 per cent constitute greatness? If your child scored 47 per cent on a test in school, would you think that they did great?

Apparently some people don't remember very well...

You can't judge an incumbent against history.
The present is too visceral.
You need the perspective of distance for both of them before you can truly judge them against each other.

No you don't. Not for Bush.

George W. Bush

Still bringing out the moron gene in the left and the right after all these years.

In advance of the opening of George W. Bush's presidential library, Fox News is gearing up to rehabilitate the former president's image with the help of former Bush administration officials turned Fox employees.

Good luck polishing that turd.

Space moved to the badlands, but this one doesn't go to the "rubber room"? Hilarious!

 

[GWV5903]

History will treat him better than the progressive media has/is. Most leaders held up as the greats today were hated in their day. Love him or hate him , he could lead, something severely lacking today.

By starting two bullshit wars, gang fucking the economy, destroying our international credibility and holding back science for a generation? Yeah some leadership.

Are people really this stupid? I was reading the comments of this article and I think it's time to start putting thorazine in the water supply.

And these people are NOW realizing that this was the situation when Bush became President and for 8 years stabilized our country during wobbly times!

PLUS Obama as all other Presidents NEVER FACED what Bush faced in his 8 years... AND I'D like ANY of you to refute these cataclysmic events!

1) Dot.com bust cost $5 trillion in lost market value.. this means every year for 30 years now starting in 2000 the federal revenue is over $66 billion written off against taxes owed.
How many people LOST jobs due to the bust??
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 -
and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.
The dot-com bubble: How to lose $5 trillion ? Anderson Cooper 360 - CNN.com Blogs

2) Did YOU forget that 9/11 occurred and it cost $2 trillion over the next 30 years again $33 billion will NOT BE PAiD.. was that Bush's fault?
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York!!
Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone.
Approximately18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell.There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.
The Top 10 Financial Events of the Decade

3) $1 trillion in written off losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history!
The worst Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. Andrew slammed into South Florida in 1992 as a Category 5. It caused 40 deaths and $30 billion in property damage. More than 250,000 people were left homeless and 82,000 businesses were destroyed or damaged.
Hurricane Katrina ALONE! Year 2005:Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as a strong Category 3 or low Category 4 storm. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Hurricane Rita quickly followed Katrina only to make matters worse. Between the two, more than $200 billion in damage was done. 400,000 jobswere lost and 275,000 homes were destroyed. Many of the jobs and homes were never to be recovered. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and over 1,000 were killed and more are missing. The effect on oil and gasoline prices was long-lasting.

400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita
145,000 jobs in NYC alone due to 9/11
300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts.

Almost 1 million jobs alone from those 3 events

All of this while having almost $100 billion a year in tax revenue due to the above losses !

4) Economic terrorist attack 9/18/2008 or how the world almost came to the end at 2pm on 9/18/2008.
How close to entire collapse the ENTIRE world's economy was on 9/18/2008 when an economic terrorist attack occurred..

On Thursday (Sept 18), at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the U.S., to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury ...estimation is that by 2pm that afternoon, $5.5 trillion would have been drawn out of the money market system of the U.S., would have collapsed the entire economy of the U.S., and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it."

Again all this happened and at the same time the MSM was bashing the President DAILY!

Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,
February 2, 2007.Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters

How can one ignore the FACT that $8 trillion in losses are being written off against tax payments?
How can one ignore that near 1 million jobs were lost DUE to those events?
How can one ignore THAT the results of these events have never been widely share because the biased MSM totally bashes Bush FACTS?

Yep, healthmyths. That's really something. No wonder Bush is on the up and up with the American public, in spite of the panicked fictionalizations of the leftists.

 

[freedombecki]

People clearly have short memories.

No, not always.

 

[freedombecki]

Wink, wink. Knudge, knudge, yeah he was ........... the greatest........yeah dat's da ticket!

Yes, he certainly was. 6 brownie points for you for noticing.

why would GOPTV be there? I thought all the conservatives distanced themselves from Bush claiming that he "wasn't conservative enough" like they do all Repub politicians who inevitably implode

 

[freedombecki]

Wow...So Bush was a great Pres but no one will say it. Repubs wont touch him in public and your party now says (after he left of course) that he was a huge liberal who spent like a drunken sailor...

I've always said it, but you keep forgetting me.
Yes, Republicans here constantly remind people he was great. Not everyone bought the hook, line, nor sinker of people like you. That's because they were paying attention to President Bush, Centcom, Saddam Hussein's egregious war crimes record, threats, and insistence that he had nukes to his Arab buddies in the oil cartel he belonged to. Hussein also tried to assassinate a United States President. We thought that an act of war. Therefore, Clinton bombed an empty aspirin factory and kept his roving eye elsewhere.

You're telling me that the Repubs are now embracing Bush...

Republicans have always embraced Bush for his outstanding performance in the face of Democrat lies which saw two famous media persons canned from their lucrative jobs and one book publisher "resignation" from his job over a lying book written by a man convicted of trying to car bomb his boss who paid him money for working. The convict chose attempted murder rather than quitting his job and going to work elsewhere. He was sent to prison by a jury of his peers, Governor GW Bush did not pardon him as requested, so he got even by dreaming up a book filled with lies about President Bush that were adopted by the lying Democrat party, verbatim as their only party platform for both Bush's terms.

What repub here will go on record to say Bush was a great Pres? anyone? Not even the OP would.

I have always said Bush was a great President. From the day I arrived here to find out both sides were bashing him over the same lies in JH Hatfield's bullshit book that never got published due to the discovery of lies and invented interviews, which also became the platform of Gore, then also the platform of Kerry who ran against Bush on the same fiction, thinking Americans were too stupid to remember the incident.

Bad. But thanks, Demmies in your renunciation of the American people's pride in America. It will be your downfall and the return of conservative Republicans.

I wonder if they did the same effort on Clinton's Library?
Would we have seen the infamous Cuban Lewinsky soaked cigar?
Or the Stained Blue dress?
Or "It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is." –Bill Clinton, during his 1998 grand jury testimony on the Monica Lewinsky affair
Or Maybe we can see his missing...

According to a London Sunday Times account, based on a Clinton administration source, this was only one of three occasions when the Clinton administration had the opportunity to seize bin Laden and failed to do so. Responsibility for those decisions to turn down bin Laden, said the Times, "went to the very top of the White House.” Clinton’s failure to grasp the opportunity, says Ijaz, "represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history."

Or.. maybe the football carrier's observation of Clinton...
"I [Retired Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson- Senior Military Aide to Clinton] approached President Clinton on three occasions at this golf tournament to ask him for the go-ahead to launch this attack. We had Air Force fighters in the air, ready to drop bombs and to repel Saddam’s forces, and on three occasions, President Clinton could not be bothered to take the phone call from Sandy Berger. So, on three occasions I approached the President, he brushed me off—he wanted to watch the golf tournament. So I saw, really, for the first time, the dereliction of duty, as it were, by President Clinton not being able—not being willing to take the phone call while thousands and thousands of Kurds were being slaughtered by Saddam Hussein. That was really my first insight.
