I’ll admit the steady attempt to rehabilitate GWB’s image since he left office has lowkey worked on me. Started with his picking up the painting hobby in retirement and I also liked his origin story of quitting alcoholism and running marathons. abcnews.go.com/Politics/georg

That said I never actually disliked him. I kinda liked his personal affect more than Gore’s in the 2000 debates. Back then I was genuinely centrist.

They do it to increase the contrast and make the current President look bad.
What I remember from the time was how much they hated and vilified him.

He's better than Trump and probably personally decent, but that's about all you can say about him. Otherwise a disastrous president who can never be redeemed.

His administration did more damage than Trump's ever did, although there is still time for that to change.

I always felt like he deserved a little more credit from his detractors for honestly trying. Results count most, and I’m not arguing he was good, exactly, but I don’t think he was in it solely to line his pockets or other selfish reasons.

I dunno, still struggling to get over the whole Iraq war under false pretenses and overseas rendition/torture network thing
