Tbh..why does anyone, besides historians, care about George Bush anymore? He’s done/out of office/will never do anything besides have that really odd smirk on his face/???? so why make a thread like this?
He was a decisive leader, for all his faults. If he felt we had to do something, he said *edited* Congress, i’ll just do it myself. If that’s how things have to get done..then i’m all for it but he had a rough time dealing with 9/11 and whatnot. But economic-wise…he’s dumber than this water bottle next to my computer that i am typing on.
He’ll be the whipping boy until the democrats get a clue and start actually fixing things. Until then they’re going to blame all our problems, even those created by Obama himself, on Bush because it’s easier than accepting that Obama doesn’t have any more of a clue than Bush did about the economy. He hasn’t even filled his entire administration yet and the department missing the most officials is the one that deals with the economy.
I would take Bush’s decisiveness, even mis/unguided, over Obama’s unwillingness to take action. You always hear about what he’s going to do, not what he has done and with Bush it always seemed like the exact opposite. Regardless of whether you agreed with his decisions or not, when Bush said he was going to do something he did it. And quickly.
