A "Good, Strong Record" ?

O.K.
-So the hurricane Katrina wasn't his fault.
-There hasn't been another attack on the U.S. since 9/11.
-The "War On Terror" is justified?
-He didn't cause the economy to collapse.
-He did a lot of work with A.I.D.S. in Africa.

But many who wax poetic about "W" in his last days in office are much the same as those who reminisce at a funeral about a bad person - only remembering the good stuff.

On the other hand;
-The poor federal response ("Good job, Brownie") was in the hands of the Dub.
-There wasn't an attack on the contiguous U.S. for what... a couple hundred years before 9/11.
-Afghanistan yes. Iraq, why?
-A 350 Billion dollar blank check? And NO receipts?
-According to the CDC, there were 56,300 new A.I.D.S. cases reported in the US in 2006 (the most recent data) with African-Americans having a rate that is seven times that of whites in America.

So...would you agree with the Dub about his "good, strong record"?

Maybe we just "Misunderestimated" him.
(I guess the Dub forgot to use Spell-Check.)

  1. Sometimes the best thing about the USA is term limits. We just swung from one end of the pendulum to the other and time will tell if Bush was a true idiot or a extremely proactive somewhat incompetent president.

  2. Yes I have never understood this whole he kept us safe after 9/11. Like we were getting attacked once a week before 9/11. And while Katrina was not your fault (though that depends on how you look at it) your response to it was certainly nothing to write home about.

    I gave his wife some props but the bad clearly over,out , and in shadows any good he could have possibly done in the last 8 years.

    Oh and contrary to his belief, he entered the office with a surplus of money.
