I am dissatisfied with his legacy. He is the poster child for misplaced compassion being a corrupting influence. He also tried to be "above it all" when, in his second term, the left went full retard. Yes, he was president, but he was also a politician. Since he was a politician who didn't do politics, he allowed the dem narrative to go unopposed. This resulted in Obama. W is largely resposible for creating the political climate, through negligent omission, that gave us Obama. I think W is a good man. I think he lacked the backbone to do everything that needed to be done. (He did some of what needed to be done). He is also an example of a weak-mind being steered by his advisors and bending to "consensus". I concur, except for the "weak-mind" part. |

Did not vote for him the second time. Did not like his liberal BS programs. Patriot act, DHS, ect.. Thought he did a stupid thing getting us involved on two fronts at the same time. He should have made sure Afghanistan was truly stable before going to Iraq. I believe he was bought and paid for. He did some good things but not enough to out weigh the stupid. Obama is just a continuation of the stupid.

Budget, not employees. Under his watch the Federal budget grew by over 1.1 trillion dollars. He also grew the budget by 700 billion before 2006. Can't blame that on a Democratic Congress. |

Another thing: George W. Bush's unwillingness to replace his ancient VP with a young rising-star GOP leader within a year of his reelection, and groom said new VP to run in 2008, was nothing short of absolute political incompetence or sabotage.
That is why we have Obama. |

Bush was, at best, a fiscal moderate, and socially conservatve-ish. H only found one spending bill in eight years that he couldn't get behind. But, I do believe was a decent person who loved his country. As opposed the current America hating socialist crook who sits in the white house.

I think he is a good man and was a terrible president.
He was a terrible president because the entire federal government is terrible. Congress is totally corrupt and lives only to be reelected to wallow in graft, the executive branch has usurped authority from the other branches and become totalitarian, and the judicial branch has been politicized and serves as a justification stop for the actions of the executive. The Constitution is de facto dead in DC and people "inside the bubble" there work only for the growth of their own power and wealth. For the life of me, I cannot think of a single law that has passed Congress in the last 20 years that has increased our liberty and/or benefited the entirety of the US citizenry. Bush governed as did the last the 11 presidents before him did. DC grew and American federalism died, because the power and lucre of controlling the central government is something both major political parties want, regardless of their otherwise contrary rhetoric to get elected. I think the man loves his country, but like so many others that come from the government factories in the northeast, he is programmed to think that the solution to every problem is more centralized control by Ivy Leaguers like himself. He may have been benevolent and thought he was acting in the best interest of the country, but most of his compatriots are malevolent and use the expanded state to oppress their countrymen to maintain power and enrich themselves. As bad as he was, there are four words that would have made it a lot worse. President Gore. President Kerry. |

He should have done some things differently. But before you judge, it might be worth reading:
It helped explain quite a few decisions he made. Be aware he was the most pro-2nd Amendment President we had in a long time, or likely ever again. Even as TX governor, he signed the Texas CHL within moments of being elected Governor, after Ann Richards repeatedly refused to do so Every - Damned - Year. Things I wish he didn't do: -Iraq -Patriot Act (seriously, we now have to acknowledge that the tin-foil hat guy was right?? What's worse, the scary reality of it all, or the fact that THAT GUY(?!) was right?) -Expansion of Medicare -Spend like a drunken sailor -Failure to reverse prior BS executive orders (like a certain one on imports for example...) |

As for spending itself, during the George W. Bush years (2001-08), federal outlays averaged 19.6 percent of GDP, a little less than during the Clinton years (1993-2000), at 19.8% and far below Reagan, whose outlays never dropped below 21 percent of GDP in any year and averaged 22.4%. Even factoring in the TARP year (2009), Bush’s average outlays as a proportion of the economy was 20.3 percent – far below Reagan and only a half-point below Clinton. As for Obama, even excluding 2009, his spending has averaged 24.1 percent of GDP – the highest level for any three years since World War II

He tried to head off the housing bubble like others have stated, but libtards in Congress like Barney Fucking Frank made sure we stayed the course of fail. Bush tried to reform SS, but the dimocRats demagogue the issue to death every time a Republican tries to do something to keep the program viable. After the massacre at VT, he didn't cave to demands for more gun control. I agree with others that he wasn't perfect, but he wasn't the worst president by a long shot. He sure as shit didn't appoint radicals and communists to cabinet level positions, and he also had class, as did his wife. Fuck the haters. Oh, and God bless Dick Cheney too. He was a great VP. The way he made liberal heads explode at the mere mention of his name was amusing as fuck to watch. Fucking idiots.... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Did not vote for him the second time. Did not like his liberal BS programs. Patriot act, DHS, ect.. Thought he did a stupid thing getting us involved on two fronts at the same time. He should have made sure Afghanistan was truly stable before going to Iraq. I believe he was bought and paid for. He did some good things but not enough to out weigh the stupid. Obama is just a continuation of the stupid. So, your guy was Kerry? Nice. Can I be your friend? |

Budget, not employees. Under his watch the Federal budget grew by over 1.1 trillion dollars. He also grew the budget by 700 billion before 2006. Can't blame that on a Democratic Congress. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Grew government more than any President before him. Created the infrastructure of a police state, knowing his successors would not all be angels. Yeah, a great President right there. No one living has known a good President. No, actually he shrunk gov before Reid and Pelosi took over Congress in 2006. 2002 2,630 1,456 66 4,152 2007 2,636 1,427 63 4,127 http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/data-analysis-documentation/federal-employment-reports/historical-tables/total-government-employment-since-1962/

He's a piece of god damn liberal shit. He created the patriot act and pissed on the 4th amendment, initiated the bailouts, dragged our best and brightest through a BS war in Iraq for other people's(who hate us) freedom, neglected to enforce immigration laws, and made numerous other policy blunders. He is the reason Obama got elected. He's not a conservative, he's prince Bush and the only reason he made it to where he was was because of his daddy. Supporters of Bush are not supporters of America. And fuck Africa.

Quote HistoryYeah, cause no sitting President has ever had photos done with former Presidents. Like, ever. That was a one-off thing and it shows how 'liberal' Bush was.

Another thing: George W. Bush's unwillingness to replace his ancient VP with a young rising-star GOP leader within a year of his reelection, and groom said new VP to run in 2008, was nothing short of absolute political incompetence or sabotage. That is why we have Obama. Dick Cheney is also a hell of a great man. Why the hell would he replace him? I bet you think he's a war criminal too, eh? |

Bush wasn't president in 1999 genius. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
President Bush admits he saw the sub-prime mortgage crisis coming but did nothing to stop it, he claimed congress got in the way. Congress created the CRA, so yes, congress did get in the way. Yes, but the CRA was only part of it. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall act in 1999 was also a major factor. If Bush was as worried as he claims in 2005 he should have done everything possible to avert the coming storm, he did not. Bush wasn't president in 1999 genius. No shit. And he wasn't president in 1978 when the CRA was passed. |

George W. Bush worked his ass off to ensure the country was flooded with illegal aliens. That makes him a hell of a turd in my book.
