Nope...there's plenty to criticize Bush about unrelated to BJ Billy Bubba's legacy (although one can not overlook the failures of that Administration, such as NK)....Bush's budget and immigration policies are insane....however, on the war and America's respect abroad I disagree. What we have to do to win the WOT is disagreeable....it may be unpopular in many corners of the earth just as Reagan's policy toward the USSR during his time....nevertheless it is Bush's prime directive under the Constitution to do what benefits the US not what is popular with alleged allies. I believe this is what he is doing. I am not aware of ANY administration that ran a surplus during a war....The AVF still functions at a high level and morale is high among the troops who understand better what is happening on the ground in Iraq. Currencies fluctuate as do gas prices. I find it a bit ridiculous to blame those fluctuations on Mr. Bush.
