Hardly a GWB apologist since I left the Repubs because of GWB's fiscal irresponsibility. The problem is not that GWB was so good, but that BHO has turned out to be even worse.:cool:

Opinion noted. Let me know when president Obama does anything like Iraq.

Leave it to Think Progress to miss the context. GWB's remarks reflected the analysts' consensus interpretation of OBL's view of the US.

"They looked at our response after the hostage crisis in Iran, the bombings of the Marine barracks in Lebanon, the first World Trade Center attack, the killing of American soldiers in Somalia, the destruction of two U.S. embassies in Africa, and the attack on the USS Cole. They concluded that free societies lacked the courage and character to defend themselves against a determined enemy… After September the 11th, 2001, we’ve taught the terrorists a very different lesson: America will not run in defeat and we will not forget our responsibilities.":cool:

BHO's ongoing destruction of the American economy is his legacy. Iraq has certainly been painful, but it may turn out to have been a good thing on balance.:cool:

Hey, look at that ... it only took you 8 minutes to get my counterpoint!

I'm almost impressed.

I generally don't have a problem with GWB's GWOT conduct. After his initial mistake in not taking terrorism seriously enough as a threat, he recovered and did pretty well.:cool:

That's not true at all, Obama has created more wage earning jobs than Bush did in 8 years.

BHO is now well into the fifth year of his Presidency. If there were ever a time when "blame the predecessor" was OK, it's long in the past. :cool:

Like I said, Bush was passing the buck 8 years into his presidency. That should give Obama another 3 years and 8 months to do the same.

Yes, BHO has created more jobs because there have been more jobs to create. Under GWB unemployment was generally so low that there were fewer additional jobs to create. As for Iraq, the measure of general good against individual loss is always an impossible calculation.:cool:

I hope you realize that not all jobs pay a wage, many are volunteer jobs.

Fact is, you don't stop apologizing for him. And all for nothing since you once again demonstrate how you don't know WTF you're talking about. Here's Bush passing the buck 7 years and 11 months into his 8 year presidency ...

"You know, I'm the president during this period of time, but I think when the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so, before I arrived ... And when people review the history of this administration, people will say that this administration tried hard to get a regulator." ~ George Bush, 12.4.2008

Not an excuse for the outcome. Merely an account of the history. I don't see anywhere where he denies it was his responsibility to fix it. If you weren't so blinded by hate you'd see that.:cool:

Only because Clinton handed Bush an unemployment rate of 4.2% whereas Bush handed over an unemployment rate of 7.8%.
