Bush’s legacy keeps getting worse
« on: April 26, 2013, 10:53:31 AM »
In retrospect, George W. Bush’s legacy doesn’t look as bad as it did when he left office. It looks worse.

I join the nation in congratulating Bush on the opening of his presidential library in Dallas. Like many people, I find it much easier to honor, respect and even like the man — now that he’s no longer in the White House.

But anyone tempted to get sentimental should remember the actual record of the man who called himself The Decider. Begin with the indelible stain that one of his worst decisions left on our country’s honor: torture.

Now here is a guy trying to deflect from  the fact Bush is rising in popularity and with the recent opening of Bush's library and how Obama came off as the bufoon he is by trying to co-op the event to push his agenda.


Yeah lets blame Bush for everything Obama does/sarcasm

It really sucked when he ordered those guys to burn those bodies hanging on that bridge. Or to behead that journalist on televison..

Wait. That wasn't Bush?
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
