George W. Bush- What will he do once he leaves office?

[GeraldFord]

I don't think any future GOP candidates will ask him to campaign for them, or any future presidents (Dems or Republicans) will ask him for advice. I think maybe he may lecture at some Christian-Right-Wing Universities.

In many ways the Republicans will treat George W. in 2008 like the Dems treated the disgraced former Prez Clinton in 2000.  If I'm not mistaken though, he may be kept more under wraps due to the severely low popularity he has now and is likely to continue into '08. 

Although, "W" is hugely popular in Albania!!!  I saw it on the news the other night.  How many electoral votes does Albania carry?

While Gore didn't use Clinton as much as he could have, he still did use him in 2000. And Bill Clinton's popularity, even durring Monicagate, was still pretty high, as it is now. Bush's aproval rating is now at 29 percent.

I did not say anything about an apologistic view.

How about Nixon?
At the time many people hated him, but its quite obvious you respect him more than George W. Bush. So that must mean you believe Nixon was a better president, and at the time of his administration is was difficult to imagine a worse one. The same is true of George Bush. Chances are there will be a worse president than him, maybe in 2008 (if Hilary Clinton wins  ).

So according to your views, history will show he was an ok president - maybe even slightly mediocre - because the worst is yet to come.

^^ not to change the topic of this thread, but I really don't' think you're right at all.  There is NOTHING good about the Bush presidency.  I fear the F-up in Iraq is the beginning of the end to America as the worlds super power.  its cost of billions of dollars, the worlds respect and allowed us to fall behind while real, other threats have gone virtually unchecked (china, iran, chavez, etc....).  We had them beat in Afghanistan and then Bush gave OBL exactly what he wanted, a "war" we couldn't win on Arab soil (much like the soviet/Afghanistan conflict).

Anyways, I think Bush will become Carter like.  Kinda lay low, do his own thing and then speak up in the future the next time someone fucks up more than he did

[fuckin crazy]

Probably be indicted .

[Bill 213]

Maybe he can convince Cheney to get his buddies at Haliburton to give him an adviser job or something. ?Then he can set back and draw those sweet millions!

What kind of argument is this?

There might be a worse president in the future = he did the right thing?  Thats an equation worthy of a Bush supporter I suppose.

My SN (RichardNixon) is a joke; more than anything else.

But to answer your question, Nixon was a far better President. He was born into a working-class family that knew hardship, he understood that value of hard-work. He achieved the American dream and rose to the highest office because of it. Bush is just a screw-up who has been handed everything, including the presidency. He has no sense of what Americans really go though--at least Nixon did. Nixon wanted universal health care and a negative income tax because he at least wanted to give people a break. Something like that would be unheard of now in the GOP, that would be even too liberal for most democrats. Plus Nixon also visited China, opening up diplomatic relations after years of silence.

Nixon made some mistakes; obviously prolonging the war in Vietnam, for which a case could be made that he committed war crimes. But remember that Nixon was handed Vietnam, he didn't invade a country on false pretenses the way Bush did.

At the end of the day, you can look at Nixon and see a legacy--both good and bad. Bush is nothing but a failure, an absolute failure.

You lost me at Chavez. How is he a threat to the United States?

More cocaine.

He will finally get to read the rest of "My Pet Goat".  It's also a safe bet that he will continue to walk around with that shit eating grin on his face like he really accomplished something and talking to Jesus.

Well I'm sure the right wing will do what they've always done and rewrite history, so you may very well turn out to be correct.

i wouldn't say hes a legitimate threat (at least right now) but hes been VERY vocal with in his dislike for the US and Bush.  Its easy to blow him off as nothing, but i'm sure thats what many did with the terrorist threats before 9-11.  Anyways, the point of my post was that this was has been a terrible distraction and waste of valuable resources and lives.  the rest of the world is moving forward and passing us by while we are stuck in the shitstorm that is Iraq. 

It'd be one thing if this was Bush's only fuck up but there are just SO many things to list:

katrina
the corrupt congress
gonzalez

feel free to add, i know there is TONS i'm leaving off (but i have work to do now so....)
