MY SAY: GEORGE W. BUSH
George W.Bush was a fair….mostly mediocre….president, but compared to Barack Hussein Obama, he was a prince.
After enduring the vilification of the Democrats and the mainstream media and being blamed for absolutely everything by the Obama administration, his presidential library opens at Southern Methodist University, and his image is now being burnished by a host of political commentators.
Not so fast. His response to 9/11 and his speeches to Congress and the United Nations were perfect. But then, his obsequiousness to the Saudis and his obfuscating on our enemies; calling Islam a great and peaceful religion “hijacked” by a teeny, tiny, microscopic minority of meanies; his launching of two wars without ever naming the enemy or the object of the missions; his tolerating rules of engagement which favored exquisite sensitivity to the brutal mores of our antagonists at the expense of the safety of our own forces; his encouragement of appeasement by Israel and surrender of Gaza; his inability to foresee the perverse intentions of North Korea and Putin….all these point to a very mediocre administration.
He is a decent man whose intentions cannot be faulted. But spare me the encomiums. Compared to Barack Hussein Obama every former President looks good with the exception of Jimmy Carter.
