How good is your memory?

You may think you remember the GWB years pretty well, particularly towards the end. Well, maybe.

After Agent Orange this morning I thought I’d look up one of W’s speeches. I ended up on his financial crisis address.

I was surprised - and not all in good way either. IQ45 does not make W look good IMO.

Anyway, if you can stomach it, here’s the video.

2. More proof that repubs just want a figurehead. They don't care about intelligence, only electability

It has been true for every repub president since Reagan, they just want someone to read the teleprompter (and obviously don’t care about the quality of the reading) while the neocon operatives in the back room really run the government.

4. Trump does make a moron like W look better, but he's still a jackass

The sheer craptabulousness of the Dotard can never negate the shit storm of W's tenure. He was a terrible businessman, a terrible governor, and a terrible President, just not as bad as Trump.

W was the drunk uncle everyone avoided at Thanksgiving, Trump is the jabbering, strung out nephew that crashed the wedding.

7. I cannot stand his voice

and he looks like a deer in the headlights

but it is not his worst speech

I agree with a lot of what he said.

But I still think that W stands for "worst President ever" and that it is not even close.
