I am thinking the problem was that we have not recovered in a world full of anti-American sentimism. The Bush effect still lingers on.:angry:
what the left hasnt figured out yet is that when you smear your president you smear your nation. the left has done more damage to this nations standing in the world than bush ever could have.
at least bush didnt paint us as being a weak country like obama constantly does with his weak apologies for what he claims are injustices. at least bush knew the greatness of this nation and was proud to share it with the world instead of apologizing for it. our greatest leaders did the same thing. obama is up there with carter so far when it comes to diplomacy.
