Ah, my mistake. This thread isn't for people who disagree with you to defend their opinions, it's for you and those you agree with to attack them. Something tells me if I said something about Clinton or Carter or Kennedy (or Gore or Kerry or Obama or Clinton or Kennedy ... ), we'd see people here rushing to their defense.

Reagan not only "worked miracles" during his Presidency, but well after. His fiscal policies, along with mainstream access to the internet, led to a huge economic boom in the mid-90's, something Clinton took credit for. His foreign policy caused the collapse of the USSR and intimidation to enemies of the United States (something Clinton completely reversed). Your calling Bush an "asshat" would obviously be pure opinion as well, so congratulations on that.

While I don't agree with everything Bush has done (he's not a fiscal conservative in any way), I can plainly see that he was the best candidate for the job. (Or at least better than the other reasonable candidate.) I've also realized that most of the attacks on Bush are simply ignorant (most of those that aren't misinformed are not just misunderstood but also manipulated) and spread just because they make him look bad.
