Kevin Foley’s July 20 column had an interesting headline, “The Disappearing W.” It’s hard to say President George W. Bush is gone when Obama and other liberals have consistently brought up #43 over the past dismal 3½ years to cast blame. Foley does this while claiming Clinton left office with a surplus and then points out that Bush left office with a debt.
But a little lesson for you, Mr. Foley. The spending bills come out of the House of Representatives. During the Clinton surplus it was a conservative House that held Clinton’s feet to the fire. Please recall it was Nancy Pelosi and the liberal members who ran the House during Bush’s terms.
I only wish President Bush used the power of Veto more.

The point of my column was to demonstrate that Bush is a major liability for the Romney campaign. W can't show his face because voters with short memories will quickly recall his disastrous presidency.
What's stunning is that Romney's plan for the country is to bring back the identical Bush policies that destroyed the economy.
If only he had more power to stop all those wiley democrats... oh well. Maybe one day we'll have a king again and you can rest easy.
Maby not, with the death of Sen Ted Kennedy and the delay in seating Sen Al Franken it was more like one year, but one year should be more than enough time to clean up eight years of Republican incompetence.
He sees himself as the final authority on every subject.
If you don't believe it, just witness how quickly he moves to try to demean and insult those who openly disagree with him.
