I can honestly tell you that I hoped Bush II would succeed, when Al Gore said
that Bush II was President and we should unite as a nationa again, as unhappy as I was, I honestly hoped that Bush II would do well and I continued to Hope, believe it or not (and I do feel like a dummy as I remember) . . . I continued to hope that Bush II would do well by us all of the way up to March 19th 2003.

rl projects his own venom onto EVERYONE else and he is

WRONG

about most of us.

2. I am glad he didn't succeed
in dragging everyone in the 3rd World War. Even though he tried really hard.

3. I only hoped that he would do as little damage as
possible and have only 1 term.

Back in 2000, I certainly could not have imagined what has happened to this country in the last 8 years.

4. You're a better person than I
I never had an iota of hope in Bush. I knew he would be a disaster- and didn't 9/11 bring home for you just how incompetent and reckless his administration was?

6. After 9/11 I really really wanted Bush to suceed. But then he went into Iraq
and totally lost me. I knew he would be a big fat failure after that. Repubs just don't care-the country IS failing and Obama was elected to fix it.

...back then
