WHAT do you like about him? (President Bush 43O)

He arrived in Washington with a bipartisan attitude and has mostly kept it despite persistent petty partisanship by democrats. One of his admirable qualities is that he has governed from the center; you and the rest of the lefties will one day come to appreciate it when a true conservative is elected.

He restored honor to the Whitehouse after eight years of shame caused by a crook and her sex starved and perverted husband. He has consistently been honest and forthright despite dishonest democrat attacks.

President Bush restored a sane foreign policy after his predecessor ignored trouble and tried to enforce US hegemony from 30,000 feet. He gave tens of millions of people freedom and a chance for self determination. It is probable that in ten years the wisdom of his vision for Iraq will begin to be appreciated.

BDS sufferers will look very foolish through the lens of history. Clinton eventually stopped searching for his legacy and settled for the reality of just being a diversion, merely sex between the Bushs.

President Bush has made brilliant appointments and they provided a steady hand on the economic rudder through difficult economic times. Clinton left us in a recession and then Clinton's failure to deal with global terrorism slammed 9/11 on us. The nose dive in the economy could have been much worse.

President Bush has done an excellent job of creating a culture of life where the ability of people to murder their own offspring is being reduced.

He installed some accountability in education. He appointed excellent judges. He tried to reform Social Security. He tried to provide adult leadership on energy. His justice department restored order after the pillaging by Clintonistas. When Clinton and his cronies committed crimes Reno stonewalled independent investigators, yet President Bush let Fitzgerald overreach.

Basically President Bush has done a decent job in most areas, an excellent job in several and poor in a few.

You already knew that the leftwing propaganda that most of America gets fed as if it were news does not have as much effect on me as it does many others.

What do I dislike?: Mostly his abject failure to establish and maintain a reasonable budget.

Can you HONESTLY tell me that if Bush were a Democrat that you'd be so supportive of his record???

If a democrat had nominated judges like he did and governed with honor I would appreciate that person as well.

You may try to understand that Obama's selection brought great trepidation throughout the developing world. People who view America as the land of opportunity and freedom know that we are giving some of that up.
