Hit the nail on the head.

We have seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty. At times, it can seem like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together. Argument turns too easily into animosity. Disagreement escalates into dehumanization. Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions – forgetting the image of God we should see in each other.

"We've seen nationalism distorted into nativism – forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America. We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade – forgetting that conflict, instability, and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism.

"We have seen the return of isolationist sentiments – forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places, where threats such as terrorism, infectious disease, criminal gangs and drug trafficking tend to emerge.

"In all these ways, we need to recall and recover our own identity. Americans have a great advantage: To renew our country, we only need to remember our values.

W. was all for open borders and NAFTA. Clinton was more anti-illegal than W. was.

Both were not really good for everybody.

Remember when gas was $4.26/gallon? That was W.

Price of diesel shoots through the roof? Also W.

Invading Iraq? W.

Housing bubble that burst? W.

I'm not a fan, sorry. He can tell it to the hand. :eusa_hand:

That's a one-two punch. Obama did the same yesterday. Coming from Bush, that's really gotta hurt.
Barack Obama just destoryed Trump and everything he stands for without even mentioning his name
 
Fucking hillaryous. What's next a beer summit? Bush acted stupidly. Does anyone look like Bush's son? You didn't build that.

Obama set back race relations 50 years.

LOL. You shouldn't speak from your heart based on prejudices. It just makes you say stupid things lady.
Whatever. A former Republican President talking about the unraveling of our values? Trump's gonna be bummed. Twitter storm approaching.

Honey Badger don't care.
 
W. was all for open borders and NAFTA. Clinton was more anti-illegal than W. was.

Both were not really good for everybody.

Remember when gas was $4.26/gallon? That was W.

Price of diesel shoots through the roof? Also W.

Invading Iraq? W.

Housing bubble that burst? W.

I'm not a fan, sorry. He can tell it to the hand. :eusa_hand:


Annnnd that has nothing to do with what he just said but as always people like you seek reasons to stay in your bubble and most times those reasons have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Its like saying he's left handed and you cant trust the left handed people

Im not a Bush fan, not of his policies but I will give credit where it is due. He is a fundamentally decent person who believes in public service and the institutions that support democracies. He also handled 911 really well and he took the Presidency seriously, and treated both colleagues and critics with respect.

what was beautiful, was watching the two speeches intertwined.

because every other president who has ever had the office...whether you liked their politics or not... understood its seriousness and what it represents...

and then there was the orange sociopath

Oh! Here comes reality knocking. He was warned about potential threats and did nothing. No, he did not handle 9/11 well. He was warned about potential threats and ignored them, and that's how it happened. He was in some elementary school classroom at the time.

What did he do?

Expand government 3x? Oh that's a brilliant plan! Not!

Set up the TSA where they grope people and rip 80 year old ladies' 30-year dressing cases silk linings out for why not?

With crap like that going on, the terrorists won. :blowup:

Look, if the government agencies that were at the time didn't stop it, more government damn sure isn't.
