George W. Bush's new mission: Helping those with the least in Africa
Livingstone, Zambia (CNN) -- Former President George W. Bush has a new mission: helping those with the least in Africa.
He has stayed largely out of the limelight since his second term as U.S. president ended in 2008.
But on another continent, thousands of miles from the politics and infighting of Washington, Bush is quietly burnishing a humanitarian legacy that may in some people's eyes outweigh the controversies sparked by his time in office.
He and his wife, Laura, are in Africa this week, where they helped renovate a cancer screening clinic in Zambia.
The clinic, which is designed help women fight cervical cancer, builds on the former president's work fighting HIV/AIDS on the continent.
While he was in office, Bush set up a plan -- the President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief -- that made a massive investment in antiretroviral drugs and dramatically reduced the number of AIDS deaths in Africa.
"I'm really proud of the American people for their generosity," he told CNN in an exclusive interview. "I wish Americans knew how many lives were saved. Someday, they will."

He ignored many reports about al qaeda. he even once told cia officials "ok, you guys have covered your asses now". He totally dismissed the threat. Not saying it was preventable, but he totally dismissed the threat.

Bill Clinton could have had Bin Laden captured or killed before GW took office.

Clinton is overrated imo. He got rid of glass-steagall
The term Glass–Steagall Act usually refers to four provisions of the U.S. Banking Act of 1933 that limited commercial bank securities activities and affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms.
This basically allowed the big banks to gamble with depositor money, know that if the failed and lost it all the federal government would have to bail them out or let the country fall. Obviously they were too big to fail.
Clinton failed to kill Bin Laden but he tried on several occasions. And he authorized a cia task force for the purposes of capturing or killing him. One time he chose not to fire cruise missiles because he felt the civilian casualties would be too high.
and as far as GW being one of the worst presidents ever I have to disagree considering what he had to go up against during his presidency.
I am not even sure what you are talking about. From 2000-2006 the GOP controlled the presidency, the house, and the senate and conservatives outnumbered liberals on the SCOTUS.
That is utter dominance. he had almost a free choice about what to do. he chose to invade iraq for no reason. He chose to de-emphasize afghanistan, which is what allowed bin laden to live for so long. We could have killed him at taro bora if he sent more troops. But he was preoccupied with invading iraq, a much richer target.
He choose to do nothing about stuff like nija (no income, jobs, assets) loans and choose to do nothing about banks selling junk bonds as triple A rated.
He did not reinstate glass-steagall.
He choose to implement the largest tax cut in US history and did not cut spending. In fact he fought 2 wars while implementing the largest tax cut in US history. He fought 2 wars by basically borrowing money.
He turned a budget surplus of about $280 billion, into a yearly deficit of over a trillion.

I have never said that. I think Obama is a bad president. Only in comparison to Bush is he seen in a positive light.
Everything from a lack of financial regulations (i think obama selfishly focused on healthcare when the dems had total control form 08-10 because preventing another banking crisis would not have garnered him as much credit as the ACA), to his attempts to stay in iraq (we left because the iraqis refused to give our troops immunity from prosecution, Obama tried to stay, and would have if our troops got continued immunity).
To the prosecution of whistleblowers and the NSA violations of the 4th amendment, to his policies on killing americans without trial, and his Attorney General's (eric holder) interpretation of due process. Obama has lost me as a fan. I was a devoted fan in 08. I am no fan of his today and havent been for years.

there are a ton of metrics to evaluate how a country is doing.
under bush we created 1 million jobs in 8 years.
under 8 years of clinton we created almost 25 million jobs.
Bush turned a surplus of over 280 billion into a deficit of over a trillion a year.
Bush is one of the few presidents that are rated accurately imo.

There are metrics but evaluating presidents is even worse than all the inter-era comparison that goes on the NBA forum. "Can't compare PER across eras!"
Well you also can't compare job growth under Reagan to that under Grover Cleveland, to use an extreme example.

Wrong. There was a reason for the invasion: http://www.popularsocialscience.com/2012/10/25/why-did-the-united-states-invade-iraq-in-2003-2/
It certainly was not a popular move or a popular war but there certainly was reasons behind it.

Kanye West Got It Wrong
On Feb. 12, former Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans, who held office during Hurricane Katrina in 2006, was convicted of taking bribes.
Notable in his time as mayor, money intended for levee upkeep was spent elsewhere, adding to the damage Katrina caused.
When I think of New Orleans during Katrina I think of the damage, the lost lives, and Kanye West, who I did not know when he made the outlandish comment that President Bush did not care about black people. Perhaps West should reconsider where he looks to point blame.
Someone may want to remind West that President Bush also committed more than $50 billion to fight AIDS in Africa, well before Katrina.

The bottom line really is this. It's commendable that he's making these efforts in Africa. However, the major impact of his Presidency, that's still being felt today, and will be felt far into the future is this:
A. Got us into the disastrous war in Iraq,which was based on a campaign of misinformation (even Republicans have conceded that years later) costing this country trillions, thousands of our troops lives and an estimated hundred thousand + Iraqi civilian lives. There is just mountains of evidence of the changing of reasons for invading and the sheer folly of the entire exercise. 16 Saudis attacked us. Did we even try to make life the tiniest but uncomfortable for our oil pals in Saudi Arabia?
All this money wasted for a completely unecessary war. Just think of what that money could've been spent for to make things better for domestic issues. Infrastructure, education, etc. Do Bush supporters understand just how much money and life was flushed down the drain for that war? It should disgust any reasonable human being.
B. Continued the disastrous economic policies of the Reagan era with the whole "trickle down economics" philosophy that has been proven to not work, and is merely a myth created by the wealthy to keep more of their tax dollars. This culminated in the recession of 2008, the effects of which are still being felt.
Even if you feel there was other blame to go around with Katrina I will say this. Anyone who doesn't feel that things would've been handled MUCH differently if Katrina happened in an area that was mostly wealthy, they know they are lying. Imagine it happening in Greenwich, CT and the response being exactly the same. You know damn well you can't. Imagine it happening in Martha's Vineyard and the response being exactly the same. You know you can't.
I could go on, but the truth is that Bush was a disaster of a President. Just the Iraq War would make him that. But that, coupled with recession, the documented evidence that he ignored warnings about Bin Laden and ahost of other things make him one of the worst. And I don't even say that as someone who was pre-disposed to not liking him before he took office. I didn't believe he would be good, based on my thinking about his policies but I never imagined he would do as much to screw things up as he did. I also accept that if you're running a country of 300 million people, that is a superpower you're going to make mistakes. Even big ones. But even with all that, he did damage to this country, and regardless of party anyone should be able to see that. I have plenty of issues with Obama, but he's done nothing anywhere near close to that. Anyone who says he has needs to get real.

Did we even try to make life the tiniest but uncomfortable for our oil pals in Saudi Arabia?
All this money wasted for a completely unecessary war. Just think of what that money could've been spent for to make things better for domestic issues. Infrastructure, education, etc. Do Bush supporters understand just how much money and life was flushed down the drain for that war? It should disgust any reasonable human being.
B. Continued the disastrous economic policies of the Reagan era with the whole "trickle down economics" philosophy that has been proven to not work, and is merely a myth created by the wealthy to keep more of their tax dollars. This culminated in the recession of 2008, the effects of which are still being felt.
Even if you feel there was other blame to go around with Katrina I will say this. Anyone who doesn't feel that things would've been handled MUCH differently if Katrina happened in an area that was mostly wealthy, they know they are lying. Imagine it happening in Greenwich, CT and the response being exactly the same. You know damn well you can't. Imagine it happening in Martha's Vineyard and the response being exactly the same. You know you can't.
I could go on, but the truth is that Bush was a disaster of a President. Just the Iraq War would make him that. But that, coupled with recession, the documented evidence that he ignored warnings about Bin Laden and ahost of other things make him one of the worst. And I don't even say that as someone who was pre-disposed to not liking him before he took office. I didn't believe he would be good, based on my thinking about his policies but I never imagined he would do as much to screw things up as he did. I also accept that if you're running a country of 300 million people, that is a superpower you're going to make mistakes. Even big ones. But even with all that, he did damage to this country, and regardless of party anyone should be able to see that. I have plenty of issues with Obama, but he's done nothing anywhere near close to that. Anyone who says he has needs to get real.

I've been reading about George Bush for the past 14+ years. Obviously reading through this thread isn't going to change my mind, just as you will continue to be in denial about the damage he did to this country. I saw the thread, so I offered my view. I have no delusions of altering the views of anyone who would, all these years later, and with all of the evidence, refer to him as a "good President."
Good day to you.

Lol @ arguing about which MODERN president is better.
News flash. Unless a guy like Ron Paul gets elected(the coroprates wont let it happen) your going to continue to see the same shit no matter who is in there. The modern president is just a puppet for the people pulling the strings in the background. These are the people that donate massive amounts to their "Campaigns". It's a small minority with an obvious agenda. They want to maximize their profit and do whatever it takes to do so. Exploitation, war, you name it. That agenda will not change no matter if its a Democrat or a Republican in the white house.

There's a reason in the last election the media ignored Ron Paul at all costs and tried their best to label him as someone who belonged in the looney bin, yet he got by far the most support from the military out of all of the presidential candidates.
