I’m legit confused as to why I keep seeing George W Bush’s name mentioned in a positive manner

[Undefined187]

Are we forgetting this man:

This dude treated black people like the horses he rode on in his shytty movies.

People in this thread are not trying to big up Bush, but there's no denying that he at least tried to give a shyt about people. When folks were coming at his neck for the Katrina shyt, dude was close to "" type of feels. Dude had somewhat a soul compared to the other demons in his cabinet (Cheney and Rumsfeld).

Bottom line, because of how Trump is running this shytty country into the depths of hell, it's making the failed accomplishments that bush did seem a bit tame in comparison to trying to destroy everything that Obama fixed from previous presidents.

Nope, the Iraq War is the biggest mistake of this century so far.

Trump is a terrible president but Iraq will taint Bush forever.

Technically every president since the dawn of time is a war criminal in their own right. It's almost as if war is the endgame to providing funds, instead of alternative progression that would easily put the guns down. Hell, we were a inch close to living like Fallout brehs during the Cuban Missile Crisis because of a stumble upon

Misread this, dapped

Bush was super trash but I don't think I've ever seen anyone praising him on here unless it was in relation to how terrible Trump is.

And even then it's a backhanded compliment.

No denying this, but at the end of the day we are on the verge of a global rapture economically if Trump keeps doing these bullshyt policies on a international level. Iraq is one of the WOAT pieces of history because of the circumstances around it, but this is like some last days type of shyt involving the pandemic, xenophobia times 10, and policies that may make us going into another cold war but this time with China.

 

[Marc Spector]

Bush is getting the benefit of a doubt because of his post presidency decorum (his family has maintained a seemingly friendly relationship with the Obamas).

Whereas Trump is such a egotistical and retarded pig he polarizes people.

With that said, Trump is a more willfully ignorant Bush with less smarter people around him. No Cheney, Rove or Rumsfeld to pull the strings.

So far Bush has been the most damaging president of my lifetime, but Trump is even more dangerous, if that makes sense.

 

[Luke Cage]

I remember thinking Bush was stupid. I think Trump is insane.

No one here mentioned Reagan though. Before Trump, Bush was the idiot of presidents. I really don't care about his acting skills when he went out of his way to not give a fukk when it came to policy.

fukk Bush dude. Its not just Katrina - which is a debacle because the entire federal government wanted to act like they've never encountered a hurricane before. That region will never return to how it was before. Dude took one of the biggest surpluses in history and turned it into a recession. No Child Left Behind did exactly what it promised not to. And we're STILL in Iraq. There are kids who are going to fight in a warzone that is older than they are. Gitmo. Warrantless surveillance. Bailouts. Etc.

Right now we've got this coronavirus shyt, but the whole world is eating that one. Its not an exclusively American problem or one created by wholly by America either.

If you line them up, point for point against each other its not close at all.

Trump would have to put in overtime. shyt, Bush was popping Trump-rhetoric live at the Olympics

edit: Bush's lowest approval rating was TEN points lower than Trump at its worst people really forgot

Like I said dude was a idiot that failed the country two times. But on the strength of how to run the country, would you rather have a guy with atleast 50 percent of experience vs a guy who have 0 which is running the country currently. This is from the dude that voted for heaven help me......John Kerry. Also the same dude that feels like this country would have been in a better predicament if Al Gore won in 2000.

I'm far from caping for Bush, especially with that "no child left behind" shyt that really pisses me off due to my stance with the educational system.

The Bush was an (innocent) idiot that did not know what he was doing is a bullshyt narrative created by the Bush administration. When Bush went to Irak, he knew what he was doing.

Bush being an experienced politician is not a reason to look at his term positively, unless you agreed with his policies. In the end of the day, the only thing that really matter are the good and the bad action of each administration.

Guantanamo, Irak, Katrina, etc. That's Bush. I don't see how it's better than Trump tbh. If you like Bush back then, Ok you might like him more because of Trump. But if you did not like Bish back then, I don't understand how Trump is gonna make you look at Bush era positively.

Bush was trashed for the way he and his people handled Katrina. Do you look at the way Katrina was handled more positively because of the way Trump is handling the Rona crisis?

The only thing I'll admit is that he had a better sense of decorum than Trump. But decorum is not that important. I see people fawning over Bush because he gave Michelle candy. C'mon.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Bush has benefited from his relationship with the Obamas, in particular Michelle.

Then you contrast his seemingly nice guy personality with Trump, and you get this public rehabilitation

Bush is the biggest winner of the Trump presidency.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Bush sucked and I think a lot of people are just too young to remember. Couldn’t believe that man had two terms. 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina. Not to mention he too had his own election scandal of sorts when it was real questionable about how he won FL. Then we had the recession of 08 which disproportionately effected black homeowners. That wasn’t necessarily his fault but it did happen under his watch

 

[Worthless Loser]

This dude cut a promo on terriorism then immediately said "now watch this drive" as he went to hit a golf ball.

 

[UpAndComing]

CACs made Black people lapdogs in making George Bush like Hitler

Now that it's been over 10 years since he left office, he went from "Hitler" to "Eh he wasn't that bad"

Fair points

I remember watching the doc "When The Levees Broke" and just smh at the fact that Bush KNEW KATRINA WAS POPPING OFF. I dig what yall saying. I'm just expressing the feels of a young man during that time as we all were (well most). I remember the recession happening and the fact that I got laid off and seen buildings I grew up with just turning into Scooby Doo ghost backdrops. Yes, the Iraq shyt was just a ploy to kill Sadam and take his goods. Yes, Bush was probably one of the WOAT presidents of all time.

However, I pointed out the Reagan comparison because dude had a war with everything minority build from blacks to gays. D.A.R.E, the drug trade, AIDS, etc...all were responsible for the black communities to crumble at the feet of the enemy. Bush Jr on the other hand main goal was to finished his failed father's legacy of the Iraq shyt. Yes, on a international level this really caused some shyt especially with how we travel and the fear of live itself. But calling Bush Jr the WOAT when we have a lifeless devil in office along with a past president in hell for making this 1 percent shyt pop off to the fullest just seems a bit far fetched to put Bush Jr as the endgame of everything wrong with presidency.

I dig what yall saying though

Bush Jr is the worst president of all times
