I heard some talking about "HE KEPT US SAFE" as the legacy.
The truth is that more civilian Americans died on his watch than any other president.

The truth is that he opened the floodgates of socialism and Obama saw it as his golden opportunity to get every socialistic fantasy he ever could dream of.
GWB is like the kid who took the cap off the genie lamp and now it is out.
240 - serious you cant be happy with the spending that is going on related nothing to stimilus anymore right????

Hey 240, you're probably the biggest Obama fanboy and apologist in the world, why would your opinion on Bush (or anything Republican) be valid at all? You're so biased it's not even worth debating you.

Villiage Idiot.

The questions are:
Did he need to? What would have happened if he didn't? Would things be worse? What if this all put things back on course?
It's really too early to tell yet.

Serious, with all the new taxes, mandates, and all of the bubbles having been burst, where is there any growth going to come from?
There wont be a recovery. There will be a bottoming out at some point, followed by a sustained recession at much lower levels than most people were used to.
-
Did he need to?
Yes. And if it were not for the GOP Administration and they Puppet Idiot, he wouldn't have HAD to.
-
"Would make good Getbig troll"

Yes. And if it were not for the GOP Administration and they Puppet Idiot, he wouldn't have HAD to.
Says who???? Timothy Geitner??? Larry Summers????

Yes. And if it were not for the GOP Administration and they Puppet Idiot, he wouldn't have HAD to.
Fully disagree.
Greed and power know no bias when it comes to political parties.

FUCKED UP SHIT GOD DAMN
-

Abe Lincoln was responsible for the deaths of more Americans and destruction than any other single person in all of history.
Decades of bullshit have led people to believe he was a great president. One of the best, matter of fact.

Exponential recovery is virtually inevitable since negative growth was an overreaction of the market. Technology has given businesses the ability to move incredibly swiftly in anticipation of market trends. Every American recession has been followed closely by a period of explosive growth-a large part of it due to a basic "correction" of the business economy.
Technology is a huge factor in the life cycle of this recession. It was the cause of the massive bleed in jobs and I also believe it is going to delay the rebound. But, I think the upturn will mirror the downturn in that there will be steady hiring en masse once the economy stabilizes fully.

weak.
it's like the guy who rapes and kills 20 orphans.
then lives a quiet, normal life for 7.5 years afterwards.
he can't get to court and ask the judge for praise for the 7.5 years he was a good boy.
Biggest loss of civilian life in US history happened because Bush and RUmmy and Condi all set down that Aug 5 memo without reading it - and they all admit it. They all told the 911 commission they were handed it - but did not open it.

How come the person who sent the memo did not make sure that they got some sort of confirmation they received it and that those 3 understood the magnitude of the plot? Seems like a bunch of people dropped the ball. But yes ultimately it is the Top brass fault.

because that person prolly ws under the false misconception tha Bush as president ws a responsible and smart man...

Bush was on vacation and a person from the CIA flew to TX and personally gave him the memo:
Here's an excerpt from the One Percent Doctrine:
-----------
The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."
----------
after the memo was hand delivered Bush remained on vacation and there is no documentation that there were any discussions of a pending terrorist attack

Condi admitted under oath that Bush handed her the memo. She didn't read it. She handed it to Rummy, who couldn't recall who he gave it to, but he didn't read it either.
This is a big deal when they FLY you a memo to hand deliver it and the title is "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US".
THIS is why so many people believe it was allowed to happen. Yeah, you can say it was just an 'intelligence failure'. But flying a document in with that much fanfare, and not even reading it?

That's the whole source of your conspiracy? Come on, they probably look at 100+ documents every day. There are hundreds of terrorist plots out there at any given time. Was it a massive intelligence failure on their part? Yes. Were they staging some sort of grand conspiracy to let thousands of Americans die so they can waste trillions of dollars on an useless war? Doubt it.

Rob - you have to at least consider the possibility of GROSS INCOMPETENCE
I think there is something strange about 911 too but for some reason I don't think "W" was in the loop
-
"Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US".
Yeah, this speaks volumes. As soon as they received this they should have shut the country down. ::)

We are so very fucked.

well if he couldn't cut his vacations short at the very least they could have talked about it with Condi and Rummy over a couple of O'Douls.
instead there's no record of any discussion on the topic

It's up to them three to figure out of if its a real threat and exactly how the attack will take place so they can prevent it? I have no love for BUSH you know that. But we are dealing with several intelligence agencies, not communicating with each other who are processing thousands of bits of info per day who are charged with determining the danger level of each bit. It was an intelligence failure. Yet we have people who think a intelligence report entitled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." is evidence of a conspracy to let America be attacked. Right. ::)

Yeah bush sucks.....imagine if Iran goes democratic and stable. Wow u'd have two democracies right next to each other, then it would only be a matter of time before Syria and Egypt had to get on board. Of course u lib douchebags would try and take credit with barry...but we'd know. They would be Bush's legacy.

Aren't they? If people think Iraq won't end up the exact same way... Well, let's just say I'm not going to talk about selling a bridge in NY.
Islam is religion > anything else... Democracy be damned and nothing is gonna change that.

Don't know. Muslims have shown that they have no problems turning to total bloodshed to get what they want.
Either way, Iran has become a laughing stock after this. I don't think any major world leader will take any of their saber rattling even remotely serious after this.

240, you've completely reduced yourself since 2006. Even your insane 9/11 conspiracy crap was more tolerable than proving you had no conservative backbone to begin with.
Total sell-out to the hate-bush/blame-bush nutbags. Pathetic.

do you mean despot?
If so, I would agree
you are very economical in your words

Five words...
Bush, now Obama... NOTHING CHANGED.

Personally I don't care too terribly much for Bush, that being said I think history will be kind to him. It may take 50 years, but I think it will happen. History generally tends to remember only 3 or 4 major events about presidents and I think "they" will choose some good things about him.
