Eventually you have to come to the conclusion that Bush ran a tighter ship than Obama. Maybe when the US goes bankrupt? Maybe when unemployment hits 12% because the dems fiddled w/UHC instead of fixing the economy, after the dems sunk it with Fannie, Freddie, and Countrywide fiascos. It could be when utility rates double, or gas prices double. Maybe when the auto industry goes bankrupt? Possibly when the states default? If not then, it could be when the dollar collapses, or interest rates skyrocket. How about when SS & Medicare go bankrupt?
There is plenty of time yet to wish for the good old days under "W".
As an administration, he ran a pretty tight ship.
As a President, not so much. The dollar collapse has its roots in the "Borrow and Spend" idiocy that Frist/DeLay/Bush championed. As President he couldn't find his veto pen until well into his second term, allowing the corrupt Republicans and Democrats to do all kinds of stupid things.
Even when (if) those things you list happen, I won't miss him. I'll likely end up missing FDR before I miss George W. Bush.
Now his Dad... its a shame he didn't get that second term.
