Definitely don’t blame him for 9/11.

I don’t blame totally for 9/11 it was a complete failure of governement, and the Clinton administration deserves as much fault as the Bush administration does.

The economy was mainly tanked by liberal policies.

Generally agreed the subprime market was a generation in the making

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.

Partly yes, the USACE had a big hand in the failure of the levees. FEMA was a totally fricked up largely because he appointed a political donor to run it. The whole thing was a cluster frick. But he doesn’t get enough credit for the funds and planning to help rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

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.

Agreed the growth in surveillance is a huge problem.

Bush’s presidency is a complicated one, but I think he loved this country, and I admire his actions in months after 9/11. I think history will be kind to him, a top 10 president prob not, but better than most... yes.
