re: GW Bush was not my favorite president, but he sure had some shite happen on his watch

Definitely don’t blame him for 9/11.

In retrospect some of the foreign policy decisions look really bad such as the initial Iraq decisions. At the time it was made I don’t think it looked nearly as bad of a decision. The way it was handled after the initial events I don’t think was necessarily wrong. I still don’t understand the whole oil argument. If we were going to take the oil then we would have taken it.

The economy was mainly tanked by liberal policies. I am not sure how much blame he should get for it. The republicans in Congress had more of an ability to stop it and Bush didn’t necessarilly seem to agree with the economic liberal policies. Dems criticizing Vush for it are stupid because the policies leading to economic collapse were alligned with their idealogy.

Louisiana’s government was to blame for the Katrina and Rita failures. I don’t know why people from Louisiana try to pass blame on the federal government.

I don’t agree with what most of the surveillance programs have become, but I do believe that was not some easy initial problem to handle.

Looking at Bush’s actions I didn’t necessaily view them as flat out going against good intentions for the US. I have constantly questioned some of the republicans and democrats on that since his presidency.
