Republicans: Why Won't They Admit That George W. Bush Was A Horrible President?

Things Bush did:
1. Put us in the worst recession since the 1930s.
2. Didn't seem to act like he really cared about 9/11 (Just kept on reading that damn book)
3. Waited until the last minute to do something about Hurricane Katrina (but Repubs are pissed that Gov. Christie said good things about Obama and Superstorm Sandy)
4. Violated the Geneva accords and waterboarded prisoners
5. Created the PATRIOT Act which lets the government listen in on our conversations and watch waht we're doing on the internet right now
6. Lied about Saddam Hussein's "nuclear weapons" (Bush knew that there were no WMDs in Iraq, he was just pissed at Saddam for attempting to assassinate his "daddy" ten years earlier
7. Killed 100,000 innocent people that wouldn't have been killed if it wasn't for Bush's bullshit
8. Abu Ghraib anyone?
9. Used 9/11 as a political tool for winning re-election (that sick bastard)
10. Bush is a DUMBASS (Bushisms, anyone?)

And OBAMA IS A BAD PRESIDENT? Obama wants everyone to have affordable health care, banned prisoner abuse, is smart, has been successful in fixing our economy, killed Osama bin Laden, raised taxes on rich, actually cares about other people, is for same-sex marriage, ended the war in Iraq, and is ending the war in Afghanistan and he is a BAD PRESIDENT? Fuck you, REPUBS! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

Just last week.

Looked dumbfounded when someone made a comment about Bush and the Republicans.

I think it's how they are being educated.

--He's not completely right, but the fact that these monsters got away with it is really bad. The universe cries for justice! No punishment is too great for them. May the words of repukes attacking President Obama turn to dung and may they be force to eat their words!

Why do you think they locked him up in the attic? And Bush knows that they despise him almost as much as the left. Why do you think he poked Romney in the eye by drawing attention to all the money being stashed in the Cayman Islands just days before or after, I dunno the election, but he did the deed of drawing attention to that before the election even if his speech was after.

Bush seems to be one of the loneliest ex-presidents ever. His party shuns him. And his dad prefers to hang out with Bill. I am glad I am not him. But, then I wouldn't have started two wars either, guess if you make that bed you lie in it alone.

9. #6 Wrong. W. Was Probably More Pissed Saddam Wasn't Successful Than Pissed He Tried

We went to war with Iraq because W. needed his war with Saddam to show he could swing a bigger dick than his dad. Not to mention all those idiots from the PNAC egging him on.

I sincerely doubt there is much love lost between Sr. and Jr. I'm sure Sr. has ridden Jr. all his life to be something since he's oldest son. Of course, Jr. managed to fail at about everything he tried because he's a worthless piece of human flesh with none of the compassion, intelligence or skills to manage people or effect an outcome.

 
10. Every Republican I know admits that GW Bush was a horrible president.

Obama's done a much better job, but if he needs to make the economy his number one priority. With 10 years of failed economy the Dems are gonna have a very difficult time winning the next election. People need jobs. Obama can create jobs. He needs to do it.

are directly related to George W Bush and the Republican Party, with their wars, taxcuts, and big spending. It's unfortunate that Obama and the Democrats were unable to stop the bleeding on day one.

13. Let's not forget that he could have prevented 9/11 in the first place.

But instead ignored the blatant and obvious intelligence reports that very clearly stated "ATTACK ON US SOIL IMMINENT"!!! Republicans seem to forget that fact.
