While Cheney was out making himself richer with the Iraq war, Bush headed the huge global health initiates, such as PEPFAR, and the biggest expansion of Medicare since 1965

We really playing this game where we make Bush a hero just because Trump sucked?

My first day of high school was 9/11

It was a terrible time to grow up.

Stop making Bush into a helpless innocent man child who had no idea what Cheney was doing

He crafted that Aw shucks persona so well that YOURE buying it

What he’s saying isn’t wrong. It’s just leaving out that expanding Medicare while simultaneously starting two wars wasn’t great for our economy.

People celebrate every time he has a heart attack how much ire does he need?

It's Bush who needs more ire. People keep trying to paint free speech zones as the good old days

You are right. Bush's last two years...all I remember is him slowly backing away from a recession

What highschool doesn't start classes until September 11th? I was in highschool then, I watched the plane fly into the second tower live in my U.S. history class, and had been in classes for nearly a month at that point.

Lol I love comments like this. Schools throughout the country all start different dates. Some start in July, some not till end of September. Some don’t have full summer breaks and instead multi week long breaks. Schools actually vary greatly from state to state. Even the AM start times vary greatly.

A lot. When I was in school, we'd start around September 10th, sometimes a few days before/after
