Quote from Yannis:
Funny how so many "smart" people have no problem putting hard evidence aside and claim that their own, biased, personal feelings and desires are good enough to be presented as objective proof of something or other...
What do we know for sure about W?
1. Very well educated
2. Self made multimillionnaire by his mid 30s
3. Was elected governor of Texas against the democratic establishment - twice
4. Was elected President of the USA twice, beating "smart" elitists like Gore and Kerry
5. Took the country out of the financial mess left by Clinton (which culminated in the stock market crash of 2000/2001) and created gazillions of jobs over the next few years
6. Pulled the country together after 9/11 as shown by his skyrocketing polls over and above the opposition of the liberal media
7. Fought two successful wars (I opposed both of them) and made our friends like us and our enemies fear us, which is how it should be... By so doing, he took the fight over our enemies territory and kept this country safe... By the same token, he freed two nations that were suffering under bloody dictators and gave them a decent chance at democracy - it's up to them to hold onto those gains
8. Distanced himself from the UN where dictatorships are in the majority (great move)
9. Supported Israel like no other president before him (Sharon's own words)
10. Brought back decency to the White House after Clinton's lies and (as a result) well deserved humiliating impeachment and disbarment
11. Stood for the rights of our soldiers
12. Stood for the value of life and the rights of the unborn
13. Things were going fine until the Dems took over the Congress in 2006 and brought progress to a screetching halt - pushing cheap mortgages to millions who counld't afford them and covering up for Wall Street who nearly bankrupted us
14. Tried to expose the extreme bias to the left of our mass media and was punished severely by most of them
15. Even as his approval rate fell (the media saw to that) his score remained well above Pelosi's and Reed's single digits...
I may not have been his strongest supporter, because of the wars, but this is not too bad of a record, much better than many other presidents' records in recent history.
And now we have this incompetent, inexperienced man trying to figure out how to run the show... but the teleprompter doesn't seem to help much there days
You are beyond help
1.Biggest terrorist attack in this country's history,Happened under Bush.He had advanced warning of attack
2.Biggest death toll from a natural disaster in this country's history,Happened under Bush.Like 9-11,Bush had advance warning of Katrina
3.One of the worse economies in this country's history ...Happened under Bush
4.The United States attacking and overthrowing a government that did not attack the US,nor threatened the US...Happened under Bush
5.The biggest deficit spender and added the most to the national debt in presidential history...Dubya Bush
8 years in office and only created 3 million jobs,Clinton created 23 million
What are the odds of the worse foreign policy mistake,the worse terrorist attack,one of the worse economies,the worse natural disaster by death toll and the worse US financial mismanagement all happening under 1 President ??????

1.C student at a school where a Bush would never be allowed to fail
2.He was a millionaire due to family connections and very shady deals(most likely illegal deals)
3.He was elected governor and president as a puppet due to the family name and connections to some of the richest and most powerful people on the planet
4.Clinton created 23 million jobs and one of the greatest economies in history is due to Bill Clinton.Only a true dumb ass can say Clinton left financial mess .Clinton even left Bush a budget surplus.bush left Obama a trillion + deficit

G.Bush ranked 36th out of the 42 Presidents
Lincoln ranked best president by historians
WASHINGTON â Just days after the nation honored the 200th anniversary of his birth, 65 historians ranked Abraham Lincoln as the nation's best president.
Former President George W. Bush, who left office last month, was ranked 36th out of the 42 men who had been chief executive by the end of 2008, according to a survey conducted by the cable channel C-SPAN.
Bush scored lowest in international relations, where he was ranked 41st, and in economic management, where he was ranked 40th. His highest ranking, 24th, was in the category of pursuing equal justice for all. He was ranked 25th in crisis leadership and vision and agenda setting.
In contrast, Lincoln was ranked in the top three in each of the 10 categories evaluated by participants.
In C-SPAN's only other ranking of presidents, in 2000, former President Bill Clinton jumped six spots from No. 21 to 15. Other recent presidents moved positions as well: Ronald Reagan advanced from No. 11 to 10, George H.W. Bush rose from No. 20 to 18 and Jimmy Carter fell from No. 22 to 25.
This movement illustrates that presidential reputations are influenced by present-day concerns, said survey adviser and participant Edna Medford.
"Today's concerns shape our views of the past, be it in the area of foreign policy, managing the economy or human rights," Medford said in a statement.
After Lincoln, the academics rated George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt and Harry Truman as the best leaders overall. The same five received top spots in the 2000 survey, although Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt swapped spots this year.
Rated worst overall were James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison and Warren G. Harding.
The survey was conducted in December and January. Participants ranked each president on a scale of one, "not effective" to 10, "very effective," on a list of 10 leadership qualities including relations with Congress, public persuasion and moral authority.
Typical type response when hurt by the truth
To bad the country cant get back the 8 years that was ruined by Bush
By this logic Republicans should hate Bush too
