Diners surprised by President Bush at central Texas cafe

Voted for him and would do so again over Obama or Hillary but I didn't like how his second term went.

He's still a good man and would love to have a beer with him.

I'm not a fan of several of GW Bush's policies, i.e. TARP, offshore royalty revenue sharing, Stimulus, etc...

But he is a really hard dude to dislike. He had some shite advisors around him with other interests in their heads. He genuinely felt hurt sending soldiers to war, knowing many would be killed and maimed.

W enacted some really shitty policy, violated civil liberties, and gave the ME a "just frick my shite up" haircut.

But, genuinely, I do believe he was just doing what he thought was best for the country. He has more pride for the office and his country than his bookends.

Worst GOP president in American history. Doubled Moslem immigration after 9/11. Doubled the deficit. Is more responsible for the 15MM new Moslems in Western Europe than any other person on the planet (and all the rapes that have gone / will go with it).

Didn't vote for Trump.

He can GFH.

The only good thing I can say about George Dubya Retard is that he was such a shitty president that he swung the pendulum so far left that it allowed Obama to swing it so far towards globalism that it opened the door for TRUMP.

The hate he gets is because he started a war in Iraq that cost trillions of dollars, thousands of US lives, hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives in the ensuing decade, destabilized the Middle East, created the power vacuum that ISIS filled, thus causing more billions of dollars and loss of life, the refugee and immigration crisis, etc.. on completely false pretenses.

Also, he pushed through an enormous tax cut while doing all the war spending that took a virtually balanced federal budget and created huge budget deficits that was the kindling for the dumpster fire of debt we are in now.


I voted for him twice, voted for McCain, voted for Romney voted for Trump. Agree totally GWB is a super nice guy of the highest carachter, and I'd be honored to have him over for beer and Bbq, but his presidency was an unmitigated disaster both domestically and internationally. If you can't admit that, you're simply a partisan hack that loves all republicans and hates all democrats regardless of results.

W gets so much hate because both sides hated him. He was a Republican so the left hated him and he's fiscally liberal so the Right hated him.

He's an incredible person, though.

W is a real conundrum. He's a genuinely nice guy and cares deeply for the country and vets.

His administration is directly responsible for the hornet's nest that has overrun the mideast and parts of Europe. As bad as those dictators were, at least a Christian could feel relatively safe living or traveling in Baghdad or Cairo and they had the zealots in check.
