It depends on which president you are comparing him to.

If you compare him to his predecessors (with the possible exceptions of Carter and Clinton), he was terrible. He was about on a par with LBJ (must be something about Texas)

But if you compare him to the frat-boy who currently occupies the office, he was great.

You can sum up the question this way - the two terms of GW Bush GAVE us Obama.

'nuff said.

Sorry, just had to do it !!

What did you expect from W-Girl, anyway - lol ??

You keep saying that. obama was ready to run, the groundwork began in 2004 and he was going to get elected as first black president no matter who preceded him once on the ballot. I don't see any legitimacy in blaming Bush

We'll never know for sure - and I'm entitled to my opinion.

But this I can say with certainty - Bush was the biggest spender since LBJ. Bush (and the GOP Congress) set back small government conservatism for years - perhaps forever. Bush DID NOT defend himself against the onslaught of criticism (i.e. Katrina). It's one thing to say he was above all that, but there comes a point when NOT responding says (especially to LIVs) the criticism is valid.

Bush (and the GOPs Congress lack of direction) lost the Congress in '06, and gave us Pelosi and Reid.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
