I see so much bs when he was elected. Suddenly the captured Americans are released. He's a small man, blaming Carter. He passes "Reaganomics", sees it's collapsing the economy. Then suddenly, just as he's up for re-election, everything begins to bounce back again -_- The rich have been running this country since the beginning. I refuse to believe anything less. That goes for both sides. This world will continue down the drain since every candidate can, and is, bought. Pretty damn sad. Not to mention this POS ignored the AIDS crisis til heterosexual people began being infected >:(

I was a young adult when Nixon was in office, and I lived through the Reagan years as well. I despised both of them.

But Bush made each of them look good.

And Trump continues to make all three of them look better and better every day.

I do not agree with some or many of H.W Bush's policies, but he was probably one of the most qualified man we ever had. His resume never ceases to amaze me. Anyone with one of the lines of his resume would be qualified to be president, but when you look at everything he did (against, just talking about positions/job titles) before becoming VP, it is truly amazing.
