OKAY, SO THIS /REALLY/ PISSES ME OFF.
And its how people always call Bush an idiot.
I'm sorry, but I truly fail to believe he's an actual idiot.
Okay, so he made some bad decisions during his presidency?
WHAT PRESIDENT DOESN'T
Okay, do people understand how tough a job being president is?
And at least he made decisions. I mean, would you rather have a president that made absolutely /no/ decisions and gets us no where, or a president who does what he thinks is the best decision to try and help us?
And about him 'crippling the economy'. Its not entirely his fault. A lot of things that can be blamed on a president start with the president before them. Ever heard of the phrase 'The Bull Stops Here'? Well, it was used by former president Harry S. Truman, because he /didn't/ want that to keep happening. Sadly it didn't. So Clinton is as much to blame for the economy as Bush is.
Also, the lack of intelligent words. So what?
Maybe he's just a bad public speaker. It doesn't make him an idiot. I mean, Bush went to YALE (Or maybe it was Harvard. One of those two).
Yes, Yale, one of the best colleges in the country. You need at least some degree of intelligence to get into there. (And don't try all that 'His parents were famous' bullshit, because that doesn't account for it entirely.)
So all in all, I really don't think Bush gets the respect he deserves.
