Bush was mostly a bad president. His policies affected me directly. His "Faith Based Initiatives," caused the Toys For Tots Program to only make toy donations to religious groups. At the time I was the PR and Fund Raising Director for a non-profit that provided mental health services to 1,000-children. Until Bush I could rely on TFT for a couple hundred Christmas toys. They told me in early December that we no longer qualified for donated toys. I had to call in every IOU I had, jump through hoops and reach into my own pocket, to make up for this loss.
As Governor of Texas, he proclaimed America was addicted to oil and launched the then largest wind farms to generate alternative energy. This positive initiative got lost in a sea of bad decisions on his part.
His WMD fiasco followed the tradition set by blaming Spain for sinking the Maine and the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident," as excuses for getting us into wars. Unless you have specific evidence that he violated a law in the process, this is a lesson for America to be more careful when choosing a President.
