I love President Obama.
The only reason Bush hasn't trash talked President Obama is that he can't. Bush destroyed the economy. WMD--where are they? How many of our soldiers died over there? Bush's ties with the Bin Laden family?
No argument here about the presidency, I'm just willing to consider moving Bush into the misguided rather than evil column. Cheney is of course still filed under evil. This is a big concession from me as a Texan, considering how much damage our state has sustained under Bush and his successor, Perry.

I think the only reason Bush has kept his mouth shut is because he doesn't want to draw any attention to himself. He screwed up this country. He was at the helm during the biggest crash since the great depression. In 2009, when Obama took over, the stock market was in the 6000's. On Friday the stock market closed at over 16,000. I don't know how ANYONE can argue with that.
Under Bush we were losing 700,000 jobs per month. We have made steady gains, month after month, since Obama took over.
Obama ended the war in Iraq and is getting us out of Afghanistan. How many thousands died in those wars and for what?
I don't understand ANYONE who defends Bush.

When Bush was in office there was a small book that came out of his biggest 'vocabulary' flubs ( we all "mis-underestimated him) and some of the more ridiculous quotes. My daughter was in high school and was astounded at his stupidity. We bought her that book for Christmas as a joke.
When they were talking about building his presidential library she was so upset. She said, "That man should NEVER have a LIBRARY. He can't even put a cohesive sentence together."
Elizabeth Warren as veep? Pretty please?
