What's this?

Know a few people who worked for his administration and they say the same

thing. I think he really does care about people and meant well, even if he was unqualified for the job and easily manipulated by some bad folks like Cheney and Rove.

Rumor is he is the type of guy who went out of his way to learn the names of everyone down to the cleaning staff and sent them all personal Xmas cards. Thought that was cool and says a lot about him. Honestly, of our living ex-presidents he's probably the one I'd most enjoy going to a ball game with.

Bigger issue, but no one could justifiably blame Bush for that -- hoodeyo 10/19/2017 1:50PM

I agree that too much blame (and credit) goes to the President for markets -- WahooMatt05 10/19/2017 1:54PM

Clinton's Iraq vote was one reason Obama was the nominee. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 10/19/2017 1:55PM

I think it's a part of the reason Trump's President, too. It cost her -- southdenverhoo 10/19/2017 4:12PM

That's not on him imo, that was a long-building, multi-issue -- hoodeyo 10/19/2017 1:48PM

I understand. At least he took action to prevent it completely spiraling -- Seattle .Hoo 10/19/2017 1:52PM
