One can always hope that they see this fake President for what he really is: an empty-headed, bend with the wind, cheerleader, who knows nothing about foreign policy and even less about the economy.

No disrespect meant to cheerleaders, who provide a valuable service and who would not pretend to be the President.

In retrospect, George Bush’s major sin was that he attempted to act as a gentleman. The people who vilified him for the most part were contemptible people who were very vulnerable to being called out for all the flaws that they attributed to him. I think the current popular term is “projection.” I think history will be far kinder to Bush than it will be to the little nasty people who worship at the Altar of Obama.

Yes David Thompson, both Bush and Obama are
but modestly talented.

The difference? Culture.

The Bush cultural background is far, far superior to that of Obama.

Than God.

George W. Bush is a politically correct, progressive Republican—who stood tall when fighting the Jihadis in Iraq. It took him a while to get his act together, but he eventually did so. Unfortunately, Bush will most likely be remembered as another Herbert Hoover who ushered in the age of the newest incarnation of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The country would have been far better off had Dick Cheney been president and he the vice-president. But life sucks and then you die.

You are listening to a historical illiterate anytime you hear somebody assert that Bush was our worst president. They obviously never heard of either Andrew Johnson or Woodrow Wilson. Bush was above average. We could have done a lot worse. He was also able to take advantage of his Harvard University credentials. Both Bush and Obama are merely modestly talented individuals. Americans must finally realize that a soft science degree from Harvard is not necessarily anything to brag home about.
