November 2001, President Bush acquires an 88% approval rate, one of the highest ever recorded in American history. Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike all gather around the man who will lead America through a national tragedy. Congressional leaders gathered on the steps of the Capitol Building and sang "God Bless America". Nationalism at its best. The President promised to find those who did this atrocity to us and keep us safe. We found out who did it. We have not been attacked since. Not once has the US been under attack nor has any American property domestic or foreign been severely hit. We toppled Saddam Hussein and brought a dictator to justice. We toppled the Talibani regime. Millions of people voted for the first time in history. Women in Afghanistan were allowed to go to school for the the first time in their lives. More money has been spent on AIDS relief to Africa under President Bush than any other president, worldwide. http://www.avert.org/pepfar.htm. Everyone in the US who actually pays taxes received tax cuts. This is something the Democrats tried to stop.
Yet, November 2008, President Bush acquires a 25% approval rate. Why? Because the left wants to burn Bush. They want to blame everything bad that has happened on him and many are unfair claims. The economy always has downturns, historically you can not change that. But he is not in charge of the economy. His policies rarely get to the American people. Congress was in control more of the economy than he was. And when the Republicans were in charge the economy was at an all time high. The DOW-Jones hit 14,000. Then after Congress changed in January 2007 the economy started to slip and when Barney Frank and his cohorts denied any problems on their watch Fannie Mae and friends took a nose dive thereby starting a spiral effect of the American way of life. Hurricane Katrina WAS NOT President Bush's fault. Even the slow response was due to New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana, and FEMA. Not finding WMDs in Iraq is not President Bush's fault. They simply were not there. The information given to him was bogus. But shouldn't we feel safer now that we found out they have none?! The environment is not President Bush's fault. We have been tearing it up since the day God created us. Gas prices were not President Bush's fault. Greed from Arabic/OPEC nations and the stupidity of people not wanting to use our own resources caused these to go up.
The present wants to burn a Bush. The future will look back and notice that he had been misjudged. So long, Mr Bush. Thank you for 8 years of safety.
