Current White House Occupant Helping W's Image

[el Gusano]

For that matter, he's even making Jimmy Carter look good by comparison.

As George W. Bush tours the country promoting his new memoir, “Decision Points,” voters are a bit less critical of the former president than they’ve been in previous years.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 37% of Likely Voters think Bush was one of the worst presidents ever, while just nine percent (9%) consider him one of the best. But just over half of voters (53%) says the former president is somewhere in between the best and the worst. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Those numbers mark a slight improvement from results found in June, when 40% saw Bush as one of the worst presidents and 49% said he was somewhere in between.

A Majority Now Sees Bush As Somewhere in Between Best and Worst Presidents

If you have any trouble finding W's book, look in the crime section.

That's great news!! I hope the country fails just so you can say you were right. Bravo patriot!!

[rstewart]

I said it before B. Hussien Obama took office. We will long for the good ole days of George W. Bush before it's all said and done. I stand by that statement!

[Scarlet&Gray]

Hell, what's changed?

Also stated (by yours truly) within weeks of his election: Within 18 months, Obama will drive his supporters away and become un-electable.

Open your eyes. He is a not-so-hot community organizer who was hailed as greater than he could possibly be. As the euphoria fades (and it finally has, except in his most ardent worshippers) the truth of what a horrible president he is/will be is going to hit home. Shame SHOULD be felt by his initial supporters; instead they will BLAME the GOP, et al for his abysmal leadership skills. Like all those who feed from the government trough and have no sense of self-responsibility, the Left will never accept their role in electing this president.

[Scarlet&Gray]

I didn't drive away. Put the broad brush away. I hope this country fails goes bankrupt and is taken over by Red China. Then you'll be happy. After Mikey Dokey said they already fired a missle at us last week. I'm all in a heap!

[LimitedRecourse]

Broad brush? You espouse how popularly this president was elected, yet NOW you say that all the left is NOT for him? Talk about hypocrisy. You're gonna pull a muscle back-peddling that quickly. And notice I didn't call you any disparaging names? Your arguments' lack of potency do not benefit from your lack of vocabulary.

About 5 trillion of debt is one small change since GW Bush left.

Not yet, but yes it's headed that way. He has only slightly sharpened the upward trajectory established by his predecessor who doubled the debt from 5.7 to about 11 trillion, and he inherited a much better situation than Obama did.

That being said, I think Obama is doing a horrible job, and will most likely not only will not be re-elected, but quite possibly won't be the democratic nominee. I'd still take him over McCain/Palin.

How grown up of you. Look at all them fancy words you used to. I'm proud of you.

[LimitedRecourse]

Again, nothing of substance from Jay Santos. I must say, you do an EXCELLENT job sounding just like an Obama-wanna-be (thinks they know everything, are better than everyone and ridicule any who disagree with them).

Thank you. I am excellent.

[LimitedRecourse]

A legend in your own mind. (Much like Obama, again.)

[Scarlet&Gray]

Much like Obama

Thanks again for the great compliments. If you'd have compared me to Double Yoo i'd been all up in your grill..

[Tsavodiner]

I'd still take him over McCain/Palin.

Well, THEY AIN'T RUNNIN' this time around.

How about "Corker-Jindal 2012".

Corker appears to be doing a good job, but he seems to be willing to work with the other side in order to get things done. In the current GOP climate, that spells unelectable. See RINO. Also, he's a little too cozy with the banks.

Jindal? I think that ship has sailed already. See Volcano Monitoring.

[Conservator]

Jumping in here a little late... but there's no doubt Obama has done more for the Republican party than any one Republican could have done. Hell... Barry, Harry & Nancy as a team (sounds like some Barnum & Bailey circus act) inspired the growth of the freakin Tea Party. And caused one of the biggest political swings in my lifetime. I owe them many thanks for their die-hard, go against the voice of reason, narrow minded policies.

As for Jindal... I think he would make for a great VP. He's a good guy. Not sure he would pull enough votes for him to get that kind of offer, but I wouldn't mind seeing it. I know it ain't gonna happen, but I'd like to see Jeb in 2016 if the Dems somehow pull off an epic upset and get Hillary or Barry back in the White House in 2012.

The last thing we need is another Bush in the White House. They are getting as bad as the Kennedy's were.

Nobody could be as bad as the Kennedy's.
