President Bush is the best president in my lifetime.
He is the first president to ever take the fight to the terrorists, instead of impotenly waiting for more attacks, like every prior american president has done.
Also unemployment was very low under Pres. Bush. The average unemployment rate was 5.3% during both his terms.
Toward the end it went up due to the mortgage bubble created by Clinton's policy to give mortgages to unqualifed people and Barney Frank refusing to regulate Fannie and Freddie.
Obama took it up to double digits, and kept it high until the present.
Obama's average unemployment rate was 9.2% for his first four years.
I thought we had age restrictions on this board? In any event, Bush policies created an artificial boom on our economy, one that was destined to crash and crash hard. The hope had been that it would crash after Bush left office, under a Democratic President. Instead, it crashed at the end of his term.
Presidents are responsible for what happens under their watch.
Obama's average unemployment rate after four VERY long years is nearly double President Bush's unemployment.
The reason Pres. Bush was so low was because of lowering tax rates and lifting burdensome regulations. It didn't occur by accident.
Once again, Pres. Bush was the first president, to take the fight to the terrorists, where they were hiding, and and their supporters. Pres. Bush kept the country safe for seven years from terrorist attacks on US' territory.
Even Reagan didn't do this. He foolishly sent unarmed marines into Beirut, and pulled out after they were attacked.
Pres. Bush is the best president in my lifetime.
bush allowed a terrorist attack on our soil // on his watch. he DID NOT KEEP US SAFE.
bush started an unnecessary war against a country that did not attack us
bush made israel back down instead of finishing off hezbollah in lebanon.
bush...worst president in my lifetime.
