Anyone else feel bad for George W. Bush?

He was a good President. Sure, MAYBE he might have made some mistakes. He seems to be a family man, a nice guy. And yet psycho lefties kept trying to destroy him, calling him all sorts of vlie crap. He was just doing his job. I'd like to see one of those hippy freaks run the country for a day. We'd probably be at record unemployment or something.

Anyone have any ideas?

Good president? Oh dear. I for one was miserable during those 8 years.

He was an ignorant cowboy riding on the heels of his father. No love here.

He was president of the USA and now probably has enough money to live in luxury peacefully for the rest of his life.

I'm sure he's doing quite well...

I feel worse for the countless lives he and his administration ruined.

He brought back dignity to the Office of the President - he was faithful to his wife.

He didn't waffle after New York City was attacked...he sent two Carrier Task Groups to protect the city.

His approval rating soared to 90% after 9/11...the 10% were far-left.

No one disliked him at his first visit to the WTC. The first thing said to him from the crowd was, "Go get 'em, George!".

George also had a good heart. A soldier had lost both legs in the war. George phoned him every month to see how he was doing.

He invited him to run with him at the White House when he was ready (the guy had a goal to run again).

There was only one picture taken, as Bush barred the press from making a show of it.

No, I don't feel bad for him at all. Even though a lot of the criticisms against him were unfair, petty, and just irritated the crap out of me, this is a man who made his entire political career off of smearing his opponents and political rivals with his good friend Karl Rove.

No. Most of his criticism is well desreved. On a personal level I'm sure he's a nice guy. He even seems like he'd be fun to hang out with. I, however, do not need the President to be someone I can have a beer with. Half the problem with this country is that people support politicians for entirely superficial reasons.

He invaded a sovern nation under false pretenses. He continued deregulating the stock market which caused it to bomb. He let Osama Bin Laden get away when he was trapped in the mountains of Tora Bora. His administration revealed the identity of a CIA agent (Valery Plame) in the field risking her life to get back at her husband. He handed out no bid contracts to his buddies (Chenney)for work (Haliburton)in Afgahnistan and Iraq.

GWB was a spioled brat from the time he was born and his arrogancein office proved it. He was pamperd and groomed from the day he was born. He had no clue as to how common people live.

I'm no liberal leftist nut job I'm just as critical of the left but they don't F- things up like he did. GWB set this country back 100 years.

Then Bush started another war on pretenses that he knew were false because he wanted to do what daddy couldn't do. gameguy6700

Sorry, but unless you wore the uniform and served, you really don't have anything to prove your point. Partisan rhetoric doesn't cut it.

I was in the military during Desert Storm, and I know why Bush Sr. ended it. I read the intelligence reports, which were not available to you.

Given the alternative presidential candidates at the time (Gore & Kerry), I not sure they are any better than him. But his response to the Katrina just made me lost my faith in him and any notion that he was a good president

No, he was not a "good president." In fact, somebody (I can't find a link at this moment) just came out with a ranking of all the Presidents, and he was very near the bottom. Bush is the one who lead this country into 2 wars in the Middle East that we can't win, and he also lead the economy into near ruin. He barely did anything right. I'm not a democrat either.

Yes, I'm sure Bush Sr. had good reason to not want to invade Iraq. Hence why I'm criticizing his son for invading Iraq.gameguy6700

Bush Sr. did it right.

He got UN approval.

Then he made many other nations pony up. Saudi Arabia gave free fuel to our troops for the duration.

Bush told Japan to cough up some cash since they wouldn't send troops. Japan balked at first, until Bush told them the U.S. Navy would stop protecting their oil tankers when they passed by Vietnam. Japan ponied up the money for the war then.:lol:

He also kept the war from a possible expansion into another Middle East conflict, by keeping Israel from counterattacking for the Scud missile strikes.

Given the alternative presidential candidates at the time (Gore & Kerry), I not sure they are any better than him. But his response to the Katrina just made me lost my faith in him and any notion that he was a good president

Handled it better than Obama the BP spill...

Just saying.

I kinda feel sorry for him cause I don't actually think he meant any harm. He just got in w/ a bad crowd which got him elected, and convinced him to make choices that were better for certain individuals instead of what was good/fair for everybody.

No, I don't. Like someone else said, he was riding on his father's heels. I feel more sorry for America than anything. At least, I feel sorry for those who voted against him.

Yeah I'm just glad he is gone. It's much better having a president that does absolutely nothing to help his country. Also, it's great having a president that goes on vacation every 3 months. I mean he's doing such a great job.

I would contest that. I don't think Obama has as much power over the operations of a giant oil company as Bush had over the US government's response to a natural disaster. What could Obama really have done?

Check this story out its a good read. It shows how Obama did have some forewarning about what could happen in the gulf, he had the ability to change what was going on and enforce the safety regulations and he did not choose to do so. Other people were to blame as well it is not entirely on Obama but he does have blame that can be put on him.

Stupid imbecile who got the job because of his family ties

no pity

Not at all. He divided the US from the rest of the world with the "with us or against us" mentality. Countries like Canada and France became small "enemies" with the US until the whole war propaganda slowly died down and with the election of Obama.

Whenever people bash Obama they usually blame him for problems that Bush is responsible for. You can't blame a man for arson when he walks into a burning house.

Have the coast guard/other organization in charge of the oil spill(not BP), and just have BP foot the bill (that would likely be steeper).

BP's incompetence/greed got us into this after all, why have them direct the clean up.

Bush was a great president because he didn't cheat on his wife and is cool to hang out with?... Seriously?
