Poll inbound!

I personally don't: TSA, DHS, a shit ton of govt. spending, Iraq, "PATRIOT" act, et cetera.

Don't cop out and say, "He was better than Obama."; that is vacuous.

Not really.   I dont think he hates america the way obama does, but some of the shit we got under him just pushed the government that much father up our asses.

I believe he meant well, but the road to hell, good intentions, etc.  I liked him as a person, at least based on his public persona.

He was better than Obama, and since my opinion of Bush's presidency is based in part on how things have gone since he left that's a pretty good reason.



I'd take 8 years under W over 1 month under Obama.

Yeah, better than Obama is an incredibly low threshold so it's not really saying much.

W as a person,  yes.

Presidency was a few good moments after 9/11 and many substandard ones after that.

His compassionate conservatism was just another term for progressivism.  I didn't agree with most of his politics, but I thought he was a genuinely good man.

Got to admit, he was damn funny to watch. Tried to make sure to catch all his speeches/press conferences. Never knew how he'd screw up!

He was elected President twice , so a lot of people thought the ex-jetfighter jock was good for America.
As I did.

Nope. Did the rebate check which was proven to not stimulate the econmy. Expanded welfare, established dhs, and tsa, pushed for then later expanded the patriot act, took a relaxed stance towards deporting illegals, nominated Justice Roberts, no true plan for Afghanistan or iraq, his whole ridiculous "don't negotiate with terrorist"  when speaking about Omar and the current legal government of afghanistan......... really hard to find anything I did like. The man loves his country though. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

And I swear I think he had this guy writing his press releases in his last term.

I believe he is a good moral man who tried to do good things for the country .
I am not giving him a 100% but I like him.

Any guy the liberals hate with such a red hot passion can't be too bad

The patriot act is real bad

I thought he was a good man who was motivated by love of country.  I still do.  And by comparison to his predecessor and successor, I thought he walked on water and shit ice cream.
