Allow Mashmont to educate you, since it is what I do best. George W. Bush navigated the tricky and dangerous terrain after 9-11. He was SO effective that there was not a single Muslim domestic attack after 2001. The man promised to protect Americans, and he did just that. Had the red-nosed SOB who preceded Bush been doing his damn job and not out chasing chubby interns every night, the 9-11 terrorists would not have been able to move to America in 1999 and start training and taking flying lessons under Clinton's big red nose. So I blame that philandering bastard for allowing 9-11 in the first place. Had it not happened, Bush wouldn't have been forced to protect us, and the Iraq War may never have happened.
The economy: So Bush turned around the Clinton recession of 2000 and gave us six strong years of economic boom. Then the damn Democrats and their media stole Congress by concocting a phony racist meme against Senator George Allen. And what happened? The economy went right down the sewer, thanks to Democrat-controlled Fannie Mae creating and buying up defective instruments based on thousands of loans to unqualified borrowers. 0bummer was one of the ring leaders of the new Congress that allowed that practice. As a result, we got the Great Recession.
So there you are. Bush did a tremendous job. His only mistake was supporting the Democrat-led bailout, and sucking up to Democrats too often, trying to make them like him. That's a mistake Trump doesn't make, and it's why Trump has been more successful than Bush.
Quite the narrative. I'm happy knowing you won't be writing any history books.
