Bush's biggest mistake? Pandering to the left with his "compassionate" conservative bullshit and having no concrete economic principles to stand on. The march down the Road to Serfdom was already well underway ... and Bush just made the problem much worse. So far, we are up to over 1.3 trillion in borrowed/printed funny money to bail out the failing economy that the government, under Bush's watch, caused. The man couldn't find the veto pen for almost his entire presidency.
And by the way ... Melmac, don't be making the common error that is frequently made in this forum ... just because a person doesn't march to the tune of Obama and the rest of the fascist/communists/socialists in the Democrat Party, doesn't mean that that person voted for Bush.
