The Blame Bush Era May Be Over

[BDBoop]

Bush envisioned himself as leaving his mark as a great President

Once 9-11 Bush had his opportunity to mark his greatness. His War on Terror would mark his presidency. Bush looked to reshape the Middle East in his image.

Instead of greatness, Bush created blunder after blunder. He knew how to invade, but didn't have a clue what to do once he took over. He rolled through Afghanistan and drove back the Taliban. But then allowed Bin Laden to escape. At that point, he abandoned the war on terrorism to invade Iraq
He lied about the urgency to invade Iraq and launched an invasion before all the facts were in. The Bush view of Iraq was once he had taken Tehran and Saddam was captured, the war was over. We would be treated as liberators, set up a Western Democracy and have a solid ally in the region
Bush completely misread the situation, allowed a Civil War to take hold and led 5000 Americans to an unnecessary death

History will not be kind to Bush

The mark he left is a skid mark. As long as he remains on the planet - smiling, waving, painting - history will be somewhat kind.

That won't last.

Democrats will NEVER stop blaming others for their failures. It's genetic.

You know: I don't broadbrush like that because inevitably, I would be insulting someone I am fond of.

Like when the right blames clinton, carter, lbj etc..oh that's right they also never stopped

Dumb hack thread is hack.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

As evidenced by Condi Rice's backing out of her commencement speech, Shrub's guilt is far from over. History is recorded by those in power. The only way Shrub gets off the hook, is if cons manage to destroy education, and turn America into a bunch of ignorant sheep.

Newsflash for the amateur op.. presidents after they are out of office tend to rise in the polls. Most people who talk politics know this.

When will Lincoln's term be over. Hoover's, FDR's; some presidents will live as long as America. Mention Millard Fillmore and some people ask, who was he? Bush has already been rated as America's sixth worst president.

We are still suffering from his policies, wars and give away of taxpayer money to the rich.

GWB will be justifiably and appropriately blamed for the failures he's responsible for, such as two illegal wars.

Oh he has. And I voted for him once. Obama's for policy is at best tepid, but BushII destroyed the shining beacon on the hill.

But the thread's about the economy, and imo TP has a point. But, I'm not sure its really the point he wants. When Americans were blaming BushII we were losing 500K jobs a month and real estate was deflating. That's been negotiated by a short term stimulus, that reputable economists agree had a positive effect, and more so by the Fed's easy money and the rejection of Greenspan's reluctance for the Fed to have any role in banking regulation ... or having assets to capitalize risk.

So it IS Obama's economy. And, there's no doubt we have historically sluggish grown and the "wealth gap" expands. It's not as bad as BushII, but that guy left with 70% being totally pissed off. But, Obama doesn't have us signing happy days are hear again.

But, if all the gop has it supply side tax cuts and 47%, color me unenthused.

 

[NYcarbineer]

This is just TK running away and starting a new crybaby thread after he got his ass handed to him in his Benghazi thread,

specifically when he spent a hundred posts or so trying to slam Obama for calling Benghazi an 'act of terror' and then finding out that Bush called 9/11 an 'act of terror'.

That put him in the unfortunate position of having to admit that both Bush and Obama were correct,

or his having to claim that 9/11 was not an act of terror.

Can you blame him for running off to start a new thread?

Bush was rated in office; when he left office and two years after he left office. Bush will be rated every time they rate the presidents and he may go up or down a step or two but the die is already cast.

"hell the current guy is still blaming his own failures on bush"

And not without some justification. JR really did suck.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Another example of both sides fighting it out, and ignoring the reality of the situation.

It doesn't really matter who the president is, you're all controlled but don't like to admit it.

lmao

just because a leftard tells himself a lie; doesnt make it resemble anything close to reality

it is FAR too EARLY TO JUSGE BUSH HISTORICALLY

you're a JOKE

 

[bedowin62]

THE economy was better in the Bush years

true story

 

[bedowin62]

obama will NEVER have economic numbers even close to bush's

certainly not the phony U-3 unemployment number you idiot leftists are using; which is perfectly useless
