@Mharman
ok

@Dr.Franklin
He was god aweful. Worse than even Obama.
-->
@Greyparrot
why
-->
@Dr.Franklin
took the interventionista game to a horrid level.
-->
@Greyparrot
so?
-->
@Dr.Franklin
So America first. Army should be used to defend our borders, not police the planet. Military-industrial complex is out of control.
-->
@Greyparrot
We have always policed the world,even Trump
-->
@Dr.Franklin
So Trump is wrong.

I don't like the fact that he along with Barack Obama screwed up our school system with their No Child Left Behind and Every Student Succeeds Acts respectively. Those two are corrupt and have corrupted our schools by spreading their corruption to them.

@Dr.Franklin
Trump is the polar opposite from 43 when it comes to Global military interventions. His record speaks volumes with his drawdown out of Syria and his current negotiations with the Taliban to draw down in Afghanistan. Trump is the least interventionist meddler since before FDR....that's a hell of a long time ago.

@Greenroad19
Syria will end in an russian victory, do you want that

@Greyparrot
@Dr.Franklin
Dr.Franklin I think you meant to say "@Greyparrot" not "@Greenroad19"
-->
@Dr.Franklin
It's not up to America to decide who the Syrians want to ally with.
Russia wouldn't even be there if America minded its own business in the first place.
-->
@Greyparrot
How So? Russia has been supporting Assad from the very beginning
-->
@Dr.Franklin
I'm talking about now. If America would have minded its own fucking business, the war would have been over years ago and the region much stabler. In a way, America is partly responsible for the Syrian migration crisis destabilizing the EU by prolonging the civil war unnecessarily.

He was arguably one of the worst presidents, how can you like him?
- Bush sunk us deeper in debt even though he started his presidency with a vast budget
- Bush's failed to properly respond to Hurricane Katrina which devastated New Orleans
- His foreign policy isolated us from several of our allies
- Bush sent us to Iraq under false pretenses
I'm genuinely wondering why you think he was a good president when his foreign policy was a failure and he is responsible for the economic devastation that the Obama administration inherited.
I mean even as far as republicans go he was horrible.

@Pinkfreud08
All presidents sink us into debt
No Hurricane is fully relieved and the Hatian Earthquake, Clinton never helped
how so?
So? IT stavalized the region

@Dr.Franklin

Like bush did? No, statistically Bush put in the 5th most amount of debt out of every single president.
No Hurricane is fully relieved and the Hatian Earthquake, Clinton never helped
Appeal to futility since you're basically stating that because we can't prevent all suffering, this makes it okay to not try to aid as much suffering as reasonably possible.
Besides what does clinton have to do with anything? We're discussing President Bush not Clinton.
how so?
So? IT stavalized the region
I believe you meant stabilized.
Regardless, you do understand that us sending our troops there actually fueled more hatred of the United States right?
Besides even if it did stabilize the region, it still lead to the increasement of our national debt and deaths of 4,500 and wounding around 30,000. Far more deaths and destruction than 9/11 costed us.

@Pinkfreud08
And obama doubled it
Healing from a hurricane is hard
Explain
So? Middle Eastern deaths are fine
-->
@Pinkfreud08
yep.
-->
@Dr.Franklin
And obama doubled it
Firstly this is another red herring, we aren't discussing Obama, we're discussing Bush. Obama is irrelevant to whether or not Bush was a great president.
Considering Obama inherited the worst economy in the United States since the Great Depression, it's rather unfair to compare Bush to Obama when Bush had a surplus and Obama had a major disadvantage.
Even taking this into account, according to the previous source I cited, Bush STILL grew the debt even more than Obama did.
Healing from a hurricane is hard
It is hard, and Bush's response was pathetic for a president.
This is a rather complicated answer as to why his response was pathetic as it's a lot to take in so I'll just simply cite an article that explains everything clearly.
In short, Bush was on vacation when the entire hurricane occurred and when notified of the hurricane, refused to return back. Until the last 2 days when one of his aides showed him a video of the destruction the hurricane caused.
Explain
I've cited you an entire article detailing everything since you request me to elaborate I will.
Bush's foreign policy was horrible as it isolated our allies and increased tensions. Here's a rundown,
- Bush failed to properly recognize global warming as a threat which angered many of our allies
- Bush essentially allowed illegal arms trades to continue with no policy to punish the criminals
- Bush refused several treaties which angered our allies as the treaties " didn't put America first "
So? Middle Eastern deaths are fine
Firstly this is obviously racist.
Secondly, the statistics cited are for the United State's military personnel deaths.

You are missing the trillions of dollars loaned, gifted, or guaranteed to failed banks.
While the direct cause of the bank failures may not be all of Bush's fault for the existence of policies encouraging risky loans backed by the government, Bush did absolutely nothing to fix those policies nor did he hold any of the banks accountable for relying on the government for welfare.
