I didn't think Bush was the best president we have ever had, but I definitely wouldn't say he was the worst. I think that the Presidential position has become too powerful, and that our government is getting too power hungry. More power for the people, less government. But if that happens, we as a nation need to put on our "big girl panties" and step up to the plate and be responsible and accountable for decisions.<br /><br />-Sylvia<br /><a href="http://www.cigar-reviews.com" rel="follow" rel="nofollow">Cigar Reviews</a>Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810993927507148343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934096967055481899.post-6212634497696173192009-06-22T16:26:46.004-04:002009-06-22T16:26:46.004-04:00I have a book signed by President Carter.

I have never read it.<br /><br />Also, I think one of your comments--how can you hate the most active ex-president--actually answers its own question. It seems to me that even controversial presidents seem to re-gather good will once they're out of office and out of the spotlight; Carter never faded away quietly and so people never really had a chance to see him as a personally admirable guy. In fact, I think a lot of the stuff he's done since being president--I am thinking particularly of the really crappy job the Carter Center does of monitoring elections--is obnoxious.<br /><br />By contrast, Clinton, Reagan, and Bush I seem to have spent their post-presidency years engaged in a lot of high-profile charity work. Bush II seems like he wants to disappear from the limelight completely.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500451355263180972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934096967055481899.post-3003598352814259492009-06-22T11:45:13.998-04:002009-06-22T11:45:13.998-04:00One of your two comments it accurate, I'll let...One of your two comments it accurate, I'll let you guess which.Carlton Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845004609304082650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934096967055481899.post-6193467110304828662009-06-22T08:54:09.059-04:002009-06-22T08:54:09.059-04:00Upon re-reading this review, it appears that my co...Upon re-reading this review, it appears that my comment makes no sense.Brent Waggonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121696882391723790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934096967055481899.post-61448314134246765532009-06-22T08:53:18.211-04:002009-06-22T08:53:18.211-04:00I'm guessing this review was written a sort of...I'm guessing this review was written a sort of an open letter to me, since I'm pretty sure I'm the only 50 booker who knows who your Facebook nemesis is.Brent Waggonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121696882391723790noreply@blogger.com
