Dobson on Bush: Greatest president or greatest president ever?

[WI_DEM]

Exhorting the eminence of former President George W. Bush, Focus on the Family’s James Dobson and its new lobbyist Tim Goeglein, who left the White House as a disgraced former aide to Karl Rove, waxed rhapsodic for the better part of 90 minutes on the radio about the former Leader of the Free World’s morality, faith and championing of the antiabortion culture wars.

The stunning three-part “Insider View of the Bush Presidency” discussion culminated today on Focus on the Family’s Daily Broadcast and drew sharp, if unspoken, contrasts with a morally-lacking President Barack Obama.


According to Dobson, Bush’s “winsome” charms didn’t translate to public speeches while “Obama is in the White House today because of that ability to read off a teleprompter.”

James Dobson: There are undoubtedly some people listening to us today who are going to sneer at what you just said because George W. Bush was certainly one of the most hated presidents that we’ve had — certainly in recent memory.

He was maligned at every turn but I know you admire him greatly, don’t you?

Tim Goeglein: I do, indeed. In fact, I see George W. Bush as a great president. And I believe that George Walker Bush was right about the most important things that came across his presidency in those eight years, Dr. Dobson.

First, without peer, is that he saw the greatest external threat to our national security. And he saw it immediately. And he prosecuted the war in such a way that from 9/11 and the terror and terribleness of the day — and I was in the White House that day — until the last minute of the last hour of his presidency, George W. Bush kept us safe.

Providence kept us safe.

But George W. Bush was the instrument in God’s hand as the leader of the free world.

And every problem imaginable that comes across your desk when you’re the President of the United States. But history will be kind to George Bush because they will see that through a series of very important decisions his leadership, his personal character and integrity added up to the forbearance of another direct attack on the United States of America.

The primary role of the Commander in Chief is our national security. And, yes, I believe that part of the greatness of George W. Bush was not to see this as an intelligence problem primarily. To not see it as a police action.

Dobson: Yeah, yeah.

1. I sometimes wonder why

I hate these pricks as much as I do, then one of them comes up with this kind of crap. I don't know how anybody can listen to this self-serving brain pablum and not laugh their asses off. This entire thing is a crock of shit.

I like the line:

"And he saw it immediately. And he prosecuted the war in such a way that from 9/11 and the terror and terribleness of the day — and I was in the White House that day —"

Funny I thought shrubbo was "reading" My Pet Goat to a bunch of kids and then running around the fucking country on AF1 like a scared rabbit for the rest of the day. I wonder WTF Tim Goeglein was doing in the White House? Probably jacking off to a portrait of St. Ronny Raygun.

Does anybody get the visceral urge to puke whenever these people find a voice?

:puke: :freak:

2. and once again, the first 9 months of him dicking around...

...and Cheney plotting to divvy up Iraq's oil instead of looking at terrorism... those nine months just go down the memory hole.

7. Of course the first nine months didn't count

Mainly because it shoots a very big hole in the "he kept us safe" horseshit.

I remember how the big news story prior to 9-11 was Chandra Levy. ALL of the news channels talked of almost nothing else. There was obviously nothing else important going on.

3. Well he was great at fucking every damn thing up.

I'll give him that.
