GWB turns out was a pretty good President

[SFC Ollie]

Another funny jr. post praising President Bush.

President Bushes legacy will be two fold. First, Iraq. Including but not limited to invading a country that was not planning on attacking us, (nor could have if they wanted to), did not represent a serious or immediate threat to us, did not have the WMD President Bush and hius people claimed, and getting thousands of US soldiers killed. His invasion and occupation is also responsible for an unknown number of innocent Iraqi civilians. Second he presided over the worst economic meltdown since 1929.

President Obama's is still being written.

He will also be known as the only president to openly engage in TORTURE

You think we've been Lilly white in that category? How far back are you counting?

 

[JRK]

The Liberal has stopped thinking
He has allowed hate and anger from a handful of far left socialist to cloud there thought process

No UBL, No water boarding
No Saddam, No Iraq war
No greed from the lendee and lender, no wealth bubble

We had no choice in war
We went as far as we morally could with interrogation so no-one could decide in burning or jumping in this country again
Al Qaeda killed Innocent Iraqis
Saddam killed Innocent Iraqis
Not the US military

without those people, none of these events take place
GWB has a balanced budget probably his entire 2 terms

the 5 whys

 

[SFC Ollie]

obamination's bailout of GM/UAW.....oops, that is a major failure.
obamination's Arab Spring endeavors in Egypt and Libya....oops.
obamination tied Jimmy Carter's record for getting an Ambassador killed?
Solyndra?

Oh, he solved peace the middle east.....nope

Oh yeah, he took credit for what happened in Iraq after Bush implemented the withdraw....

It amazes me the spin that has been put on the last 12 years
If GWB has a Benghazi and then covers it up as obvious as the BHO admin did he would have been impeached
through all of the events that he was dealt with, he still created millions of jobs
wealth for 90 months and very close to a balanced budget by 2007

The war In Iraq was an evil we had to face
weapons?
Al Qaeda?
Saddam lying
we had no choice after 9-11 and every-one seen it. Without Al Qaeda/Iran/Pakistan and others it was over in months

Some want to rewrite History already.

Basic Objectives for Afghanistan:

1. Overthrow the Taliban. make certain they will not be a power there.
2. Find , capture, or kill UBL....
3. Turn the government over to the people.

1 and 3 were accomplished in little or no time at all. Finding UBL should have been as easy but he escaped to Pakistan. We had to have known this years ago.
So Mission was accomplished and we should have pulled out of Afghanistan by 2004. Bush's mistake for listening to Rumsfeld....

Basic objectives for Iraq:

1. Remove Saddam (as spelled out in the Iraqi freedom act signed by Clinton)
2. Find and dismantle Saddams Weapons programs.
3. Turn the government over to the people...

Mission accomplished after Saddam was captured. We never should have attempted an occupation, Again bush's fault for listening to Rumsfeld.

But the wars themselves were both sheer genius....

Money wise? Bush spent too much, Obama is doubling down on it...........

Fact? I think so but it's all my opinion so don't ask for links that don't exist.........

 

[JQPublic1]

I have nothing to say because this thread is stupid.

Just let Bush's record do the talking, lol

GAWRSH, I can't believe I was actually the President of the United STATES!

 

[Harry Dresden]

George Bush.....the Torture President

RW.....do you think he was the only President that people were being tortured under?...i bet even now people are being "squeezed" for information.....and i dont give a shit what these guys tell us.....Bush and company got caught.....

bottom line .....Rumsfeld the worst SOD ever.....how did he get that job over Powell?....

relativism?

 

[Borillar]

AIG pays us back. The forst 50% of tarp saved the economy
His leadership post 9-11 prevented a more serious economic collapse than we had
Saddam, gone
UBL, gone (thanks to water boarding in 2006 as well as Navy seals/CIA)
His tax rate will be in place for 99% of us
Sarbanes Oxley, huge success
His medicare plan was under funded, but also a huge success
was within 163 billion of a balanced budget, 2007
Numerous bi partisan legislation events such as No Child left behind, removing Saddam, Etc...
Budgets through 2008 (BHO signed the 09 budget 3/2009, called the Omnibus bill

Now how is BHO doing?
no jobs
huge debt
Obama care in which some of his own now want out of some

It is not even close people

GWB was a pretty good president...

For me to poop on!

Nonsense. Two wars conducted on the American check book, Republican control of Congress (1994-2006) with compliant presidents, and the senior drug prescription led to the Great Recession. Bush, along with leaders at all levels of government, mishandled the Katrina response. His No Child Left Behind program has numbed public education.

Bush will rate with Buchanan, Harding, and Grant as our worst presidents, no doubt about that.

Your subject line alone caused 18 small TIA strokes in the progressive community of this forum.

The thinking community from right to left reads JRK for grins and chuckles, nothing else.

I see no reasons as to why GWB was so bad?

he help create jobs through 7 sandys, 2 recessions, 9-11, 100s of enrons as well as 2 wars without a 1 trillion dollar stimulus for the unions


We were within 160 billion of a balanced budget in 07

Tarp was a huge success in fixing a crises that Govt did not create

Sarbanes Oxley was a huge success as well as Bi partisan (think about why)

YOU LIBS are not giving us the reasons you think he was not a good president

BTW 99% of the income tax rate came from his plan

Head to head with BHO? it is not even close

You're absolutely right, JRK. Bush did all he could with what he was handed. He worked in favor of literacy and improved test scores for minority children; he cleaned up the brownfields in Texas and wherever else they were found around the country by getting businesses to do the cleanups to OSHA specs, and got it done economically.

He was a smart man who was wise enough to listen to industry and see that it self-regulated with follow-ups. The unions didn't want no stinkin' follow-up of their failure schools, but he persevered to the point of giving them the choice--turn the failed schools into positive learning experiences or face forclosure and students dispersed to schools that would provide them the elementals of the 3Rs.

He works behind the scenes and is a doer and a dream-come-truer for more Americans than I can say.

You are such a jester, JRK!

Your man was a turd of a president: two wars paid on credit, an woefully underfunded senior drug prescription program, a cut in taxes that left the government in great debt, a Congress from 2001 to 2006 that set the stage economically for the Great Depression, and so forth and so on.

One of the worst presidents, period.

GWB never used the bully pulpit
Saddam had every chance to do the right thing, GWB gave him 18 months, post 9-11

All BHO does is class war fare
No matter what event comes his way, he either uses it to push forward an agenda or attack the GOP, "put them a box" that does nothing for the country

If GWB was that bad, then what is BHO really. Good post
Thanks

The NCLB program has mortally wounded many of the public school districts in the country.

How about the blank check he got after 9-11?

The NCLB program has mortally wounded many of the public school districts in the country.

It made more clean up their act than closed.

The NEA showed its true colors in Wisconsin the day they used children to make a political point adults should have been making.

A couple of parents were mad enough to level lawsuits on the craven use of their children of which they disapproved.

Those teachers made a lot of parents mad enough to jerk their children out of the public schools and either put them in private prep schools or home school them.

When teachers' focus is on self and not on child, that is the time to get government out of the school business and turn it over to parents. The public cannot make every teacher a millionnaire. That seems to be the union goal. It will break America's financial back.

That's what the American people wanted at the time, Rightwinger. I lived through it, and so did you if you were old enough.
