George Bush’s book, Decision Points
In all reality, Decision Points should have been called Miss me Yet?, but that might have been a bit too obvious. Especially since he’s trying to remain a gentleman and not criticize Obama. I guess Bush had enough of that bullshit from Carter. In his interview last night with Matt Lauer, he said “The President has enough people criticizing him, I’m not going to be one of them.” Classy.
Unlike the Annointed One himself, who still blames Bush for every hangnail and rainy day, even two years into his Reign of Error.

Think of this as you read —
// His sadness over Hurricane Katrina is not for the victims in New Orleans, as Mr West understood, but for the damage done to his reputation by that snap of him staring blankly and aloofly down on the catastrophe from the window of Air Force One. His paramount distress over Iraq is not over the loss of life, civilian and military, but how that banner proclaiming “Mission Accomplished” on the aircraft carrier came to make him look naive and vainglorious. He reveals his shallowness and vapidity with these reflections in the most crystalline of clarity, and hasn’t a notion he is doing so.
It takes a certain minimal intelligence for the truly dim to have a notion of their own dimness, but this is denied him. Unlike Mr Tony Blair, who emerges from his well-calibrated if often chilling memoir as a man of colossal cleverness (though not intellect), W has the self-awareness of a bison. There seems even less to him than met the eye, and there was precious little of that. Astounding as it appears, we misoverestimated him. //

GWB, what a man, he overturne Roe vs Wade, he single handely stemmed the tide of illegals pouring over the south border, he captured Osama Bin Laden, he left a blossoming economy for his successor, he discredited the ACLU, he saved America from the mortgage bubble, he ……… heh. Never mind, that was the dream I had about Sarah and the Tea Party last night.
Honestly Wendy, give us an article detailing his accomplishmants so we can compare it to what he might have done – what he should have done if he wasn’t just another GOP establishment man.

We all recognize the problems but solving them or preventing them does not pay as well as managing them does…in my humble opinion. I know this is a repeat, but it works just as well here. If the problem of the “illegals” were to be solved all of the people invested in helping them attain citizenship (managing the problem) would be out of work. As for the mortgage bubble, it was brought up 17 times during GWB’s 8 years and always defeated by those invested in “managing the problem”. The ACLU was started by admitted socialists and needs to be dismembered. As a Supreme Court decision, Roe vs Wade is subject to reversal in the future. Osama is, and has been dead for a long time. The blossoming economy was destroyed by those responsible for “managing the problem”, and those persons are in BOTH political parties…so there!
