Its not like George Bush wanted to be the force for bad.
And we still have a great fondness for Tony Blair.
(by polling anyways)
So that shows how much we know.
Imo we are very concerned about the economy
and the fact that no one knows for sure how the
hell we are going to come out of this mess.
GW himself was caught off camera cussing out
all the investment banks with their fkn fancy financial
instruments and greed that really screwed us up
and started a big mess.
So its not like the guy is the devil. He had lost
all political clout and was helpless more than anything.
He could not have fixed anything given he had very
little power into his second term. And he is now relenting
on his foreign policy mistakes and dropping hints that
he may have relied too much on Cheney.
Bush was the president but it is clear now our
screwups in foreign policy were exacerbated a great
deal by our Vice President. From the beginning.
