Good reference for the feeling that lead the backlash against Bush.


myLot reputation of 22/100. kennyrose (5047)  3 years ago

President George W.Bush's very last day in office was flooded with letters and notes from men and women in uniform telling him how much they trust his judgement and how much they appreciated that he was there for them every day they was in the milatary to his every last second as their Commander in chief.
A few day's after 9/11 at a national base ball game President George W. Bush got a standing oval the people of the United loved and honored the president of the United States of American.
When George W. Bush throw the first ball the entire place was electrified with we love you George and voices ringing oh so very proudly USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA.
President Bush was very popular all of his first four year's and he was re-elected for four more,he served under two wars and Katrina always positive and uplifting to the American people never ever did he tear our country down or the morals of our military people and President Bush had the same smile on his face his very last second in office.
Barack Obama walked out on the field at the St Louis game a few weeks ago he was greatly booed by the real American people that filled the place,many said Obama throw the ball like a little girl.
Your boy is getting our young people killed in his Afghanistan war I take it your left wing liberal media and left wing people don't think our young peoples blood is so valuable since Obama got in,right pal.

Pres Bush had an approval rating at 22% when he left office. This is the lowest since ratings were established about 70 years ago. A lot of people taking Jefferson's advice..enough said.


myLot reputation of 49/100. N4life (371)   ranked 437 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

Oh..and I bet Obama could whip Bush at one on one basketball...lol

But as Rose said....after 9/11 Bush's rating were in the 90's. I don't know for sure but that just may be the HIGHEST rate since ratings were begun. Then the media began their campaign against him. The LIBERAL control press couldn't have him rated so highly.

It is very telling that military personel rated him so high even at the end of his second term. What with all the press hype about anti war sentiments in the country. I hate to say this...but Obama's rating with the military is in the pits! There was actually an officer who refused to go to Afganistan based on the question of Obama's citizenship and therefore his right to be commander in chief. I believe that may be a first in our history....btw, HE WAS NOT SENT TO AFGANISTAN! Someone didn't want the issue persued?

N4life...you need to read both sides and quit accepting all you're told by the press.


myLot reputation of 49/100. N4life (371)   ranked 437 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

I just stated poll ratings..period, and they do speak for themselves.

"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?"
"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."
and then my personal top favorite Jeffersonion quote....
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

oops, I quoted one twice........my bad.


myLot reputation of 49/100. N4life (371)   ranked 437 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

What if you take from those that did not get theirs through the "free exercise of his industry"? Just a hypothetical question.


myLot reputation of 83/100. xfahctor (7620)   ranked 42 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

That is called "thievery", our government practices it daily.


myLot reputation of 49/100. N4life (371)   ranked 437 out of 3,985 in politics  3 years ago

I don't think there is a dime obatained by any major corporation today in the U.S. that could be said to have been earned by the free enterprise of industry.
