George W Bush: was he really that bad?
More than four years after George W Bush left the White House, his record is being reassessed and throws up similarities with Barack Obama, writes Alex Spillius

It is George W Bush’s particular achievement to be disliked by both sides in American politics.

Democrats of course excoriate the damage done to the budget by waging two wars while cutting taxes, his conduct after Hurricane Katrina and his shoot from the hip style, not to mention that fact that he presided over the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression.


His own Republican party utterly rejected him during the 2012 campaign. Tea Party types saw him as a big-spender guilty of extending federal government, while few who once stood with him were prepared to defend his military achievements.

George W Bush: The second greatest President in the past 80 years, second only to Ronaldus Maximus!

Is he as bad as his haters say? No.

Did he destroy the conservative movement? Pretty much.

Nothing can destroy the conservative movement, as long as I'm at the helm!

No,he was worse.

Correct me if I'm wrong,but ain't that the equivalent of praising with faint damns?

Why not just come right out and say he sucked all the air off the planet and be done with it?

Ok,my post quoted above was in response to the post saying that other than Reagan,Boy Jorge was the best president in the last 80 years.

I'm new here,and still trying to figure out the system. I have no idea why my quote didn't show up.
