Why is Dubya suddenly a role model?

I see more and more articles giving him credit as a moderate president making difficult choices.

Destroying the Middle East was a choice that even brain dead Donald might not have gone for.

How quickly we forgive and forget.

he fully embraced them as good american people .

that's the one thing i will give him the most credit for because it could have been really really bad for anyone that looked like they were muslim.

and people WERE shot and killed and attacked in other ways . but someone like trump in office at the time would have made if far worse.

he was a horrible incompetent president with failed policies. especially iraq. he should never have been president or any public office.

but he isn't the horrible evil person that trump is.

One raped and murdered women. The other murdered and raped young boys.

I wouldn't say at least Bundy didn't go after kids...know what I'm saying? And as a woman, I wouldn't say at least Gacy didn't go after women.

For me, they were both dangers to people. Both horrible human beings.

Same with Bush and Trump.
