I think he's actually a decent guy, he was used the the same way the republican party used evangelicals and blue collar Americans the past 8 years. That's the irony, the exploitation and pandering that put him in office is exactly what was used to betray him while in office. He was surrounded by people who gave him terrible advice. People who took advantage of him to get their own agendas passed and he ended up being the fall guy when it all failed.

As much as I don't like Bush, I do feel he was led into a lot of this shit, like the war in Iraq buy the Neocons. Then again, he was the one who choose them to be in his admin, so he holds all the blame.
Rumsfeld, Chenny and that whole little group of Neocons wanted into Iraq for years. Bush Jr and 9/11 were the right tool and excuse to do what they wanted. That whole little group should be strung up and hung for treason.
I always thought if a movie were to ever be made about Bush Jr's legacy, it should be named "All his daddy's men".
