The Revitalization of George W. Bush
Anyone kind of noticing how a lot of left-leaning figures within the media and entertainment culture are painting the Bush years with a somewhat nostalgic glow? In the sense that he's more in the public light a little more nowadays, and that a lot of the people who hated his presidency when he was in office have retroactively become less harsh towards his administration because they dislike Trump even more.

Also, Bush is coming out with a book of his portraits of veterans with all proceeds donated to a foundation on their behalf. Say what you want about Bush's politics because I disagreed with him on a lot, but he always struck me as a good guy with a terrific sense of humor.

Just goes to show the hypocrisy of the libcuck media. If Cruz would have beaten Trump and Clinton, it'd be Trump that would be making the talk show rounds, and Kimmel would be pleading to Trump to reach out to Füher Cruz.

Time is the great healer, and most politicians aren't bad guys deep down. It easy to forget that fact in the heat of the moment, but they're people to. And, most importantly, we're all Americans at the end of the day. We all basically want the same things.

Huh?

So the "libcuck" (HILARIOUS haha) media would be embracing and pleading with whoever lost the Republican primary? Cause there's been such a love fest between the libcucks and Cruz right?

As far as the OP, people are definitely softening to the Bush years. I think that tends to happen with most presidents. He seems like a good and decent man. It's much easier to like a guy when's he's painting pictures for vets, as opppsed to leading us into a failed war or tanking the economy.

Well he cant be "Literally Hitler" anymore. That posts has been taken over.

"According to Bill Maher, every Republican presidential candidate to come down the pike could mean the end of the world, but now that Donald Trump is the GOP nominee, Maher’s retroactively changed his tune on Romney, McCain and even George W. Bush"

The funny thing is, if Cruz had won, they would be saying the same thing.

Do I have to spell it out for you?

The media embraced Trump whenever they figured he would never win. He won, and now he has magically become *literally* Hitler. They treated Romney and McCain the same way. They hated Bush, until he somewhat joined them in their criticism of Trump, and now he's being lauded as a decent guy.

It would have been the same if Cruz would have won.

Nah, they all hate W. They are just being nice because he didn't vote for Trump and is saying some things that play into their themes. If he started saying nice things about Trump they would go into full hate mode again.

Bush clan said they would not vote for Trump, so the media loves the Bushs now.

Sometimes there just isn't a conspiracy.

The media isn't taking shots at Bill like it used to. And in 8 years, it won't be taking the same kind of shots at Obama, either.

Wait... When was the media treating Clinton badly?

I agree. To me, Bush always struck me as a good person who was in over his head as POTUS and trusted the wrong people to help him in office. He seems like someone with decent emotional intelligence, a guy who can walk into a room, size people up pretty quickly, and understand their thoughts and motivations. The only problem is that I don't think he was smart or articulate enough to take advantage of that quality and do his job all that well. The Texans on this forum may be able to confirm or deny whether or not that's true.

He did fine as governor of Texas. He did well as president, just made a couple of huge blunders-underestimating the vacuum in Iraq and underestimating the risk to the economy of the housing bubble.

On Iraq he corrected course. The housing mess was at the end of his term.

One other thing he didn't correct was letting the Republicans in Congress get institutionalized and start spending and ear-marking like Democrats. He had kind of a hands off approach to Congress which was similar to in Texas where the governor had limited power.
