…uple paragraphs later it says he does and Rush tries to first claim he had no knowledge of that but, more to the point, attempts to ridicule it as somehow a negative. He’s trying to claim that no one back then gave Bush 41 any credit for the economy we experienced. This creates two problems: 1. That’s total garbage. I lived through that period. Many outlets made quite a bit about Bush’s bad timing. He inherited the crash of Rona

…arental guidelines. How many of those appointed without prior jurist experience were simply friends of the President who appointed them? Appointing justices with prior jurist experience is a fairly new practice dating back to 1965. However, it’s a good practice. One of the things people do as they evolve is to, one can hope, improve and make better decisions. Think about it. In an era of stressing how important college is to our kids, here

…s being nice). This administration wants us to listen to their council and accept their course of action without question. That is a right that is EARNED and this administration has not earned that privilege at any point. In 1999 while running for office George W. Bush attacked the Clinton administration (aimed at Al Gore) for getting us involved in a conflict in Kosovo without an exit strategy and made a big deal about there not being a timelin

…ose the worst possible option. It helped absolutely no one from his side of the aisle and only served to set many of the remaining supporters against him. That goes a long way towards explaining why his polling is now down to 33% approval. One has to wonder about that 33% but heck, in every poll there’s also that one surprising minority that just defies any explanation. They too lack common sense so it’s actually pretty fitting that t

…#8221;. Then came many who were saying that Obama forgot to thank President Bush (the latter) for all his hard work on making this all possible. I wanted, quite frankly, to vomit. No credit should be due, what-so-ever, to our 43rd President. First and foremost it was on his watch that we were so directly and heinously attacked on 9-11 and it was that President who stated that his administration would get bin Laden “dead or alive” and

…but then again, he’s not basking in the same aura as I am. Or is he? It’s now clear that our President took part in another staged event in a long line of staged events. This time it involved a teleconference with 11 soldiers in Tikrit designed to give the impression that George W. Bush‘s plan for Iraq is going swimmingly. All the questions and actions were choreographed for maximum effect. At one point Bush even tells the soldi

; This, as we now know, was followed by seven long minutes of the President sitting in his chair looking dumbstruck. Maher went on to point out that if he were the Democrats he would have used that footage to win elections in 2004. The interesting part to me is that Bill spoke as if the time for this opportunity had passed. Frankly, I believe it’d extremely effective to get every Republican you can find on the record defending the President

Maybe it’ll be of use for someone 20 years from now that wasn’t old enough to have lived through this administration but for now it’s like watching old news. It has its moments. There’s a scene where Cheney, in a closed-door meeting, makes

Reagan and Bush as a combination turn in a stunning 40.41%. Oh, but drat that Gulf War makes it all invalid. Can you imagine what Bush’s numbers would have been like if he hadn’t been so helped out by the Gulf War? George W. Bush had two of them and two full terms
