In reply to the discussion: Krugman: The Great Degrader [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)20. With all due respect,
I think you are wrong about President George W. Bush. I do not believe he is either a liar or a person who conducted himself in the office of President of the U.S. in bad faith. Furthermore, I think it very important that you reconsider your view of President G.W. Bush, for the sake of our future.
As long as G. W. Bush is perceived as the treacherous liar responsible for the disasters you describe, Karl Rove, the real culprit, will continue to practice his trade of serial treason against the people of the United States to the prejudice of civilization. Therefore, I implore you to take the time to understand Rove's role in betraying President G. W. Bush and us from his strategic position of trust and confidence within the White House from 2001 through 2007

...that's simply hogwash. Karl Rove is a deceitful bastard, but your attempt to cast Bush as a victim is simply absurd.
This is a person who sanctioned torture, who lied the country into an illegal war and much more. You speak about elections, but many of the things Bush did had nothing to do with Rove.

No doubt W was the worst ever, but no more of the "we may never recover" melodrama, please.

No, there is no question. Bush was the worse and yes, we may never recover.
