You know, I got to be honest, I'm really tired of hearing how terrible the Bush family is.
George H.W. Bush served this country with distinction in World War II. He could have returned home and lived off his family's fortune, but instead he choose public service. He was a CIA Director, Vice President of the United States under one of the greatest President's in our history, and he served as President of the United States. He threw Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, signed the Americans with Disabilities Act, and signed NAFTA into law which has created high-paying jobs.
George W. Bush turned his life around at age 40. He served as Governor of Texas and inherited the worst homeland security crisis in our nation's history as President of the United States. He toppled a murderous regime in Iraq, he toppled a terrorist regime in Afghanistan, he slowed down the process of Iran getting a nuclear weapon, he implemented the Patriot Act, he cut taxes for all taxpayers, he doubled border patrol agents which has led to a reduction in the flow of people across our southern border, he increased the number of free trade agreements from 3 to 16 to create more jobs and help consumers, he ended the brutal practice of partial-birth abortion, he fought to give vaccines to those in South Africa who otherwise had no access to them, and he passed bi-partisian legislation that has helped our most vulnerable seniors afford their medicine. Did he fail to control federal spending and did he have people at the Federal Reserve who were completely incompetent? Yes, and that hurts his legacy. But he was a good President and he's a great person.
The Bush family has given up their privacy for the sake of public service. If you want to attack their record or where they stand on issues, fine. But attacking them as "bad" as humans is just without merit. I think it's backwards that so many attack the Bush family while praising Donald Trump, look at his lifestyle of excesses and breaking vows versus the Bush's.
I think that's well said. I don't necessarily agree that all those things were for the best, but they seem like good people who had good intentions for the country. They are head and shoulders above the pos that is Trump.
