Question for liberals: in retrospect, what do you think of George W Bush? (1 Viewer)

18 years of war.  I don’t think a good man does that.  How many thousand people killed?  

I think he was a dimwitted man doing what his advisers told him to do

So not a very good man, looking at the big picture.

My opinion is the same as it was years ago when asked if I would go to a Bush White House to meet the President. I said I'd go, I'd tell Bush I didn't vote for him twice....but I respect him and am honored to meet him.

that's also fair

I don't think he's just inherently an evil psychopath like a trump or chaney

It was a helluva pitch.

They made a 30-for-30 documentary about it too!

No I don’t either.  I don’t think Trump or Chaney are truly capable of empathy or sympathy.  I never got that feeling from Bush.

The Republican Jimmy Carter, a good man but a bad President.  My analogy is to character, not intelligence.  There would be no analogy on that metric.

I'd add that while GWB was inarticulate, compared to Trump he was Winston Churchill.

The fact that Trump has gone two+ years without facing an urgent matter that exposes his Administration's decision making in real time is incredible.

I'd imagine there may be a few Puerto Ricans who would disagree with that statement.

True, and quite an indictment of Trump.

Nice job W

This is cool.

Trump is a genius at empathy. He seems incapable of sympathy.

So predictable.
