Though's on H. W. Bush

H. W. was not a
popular American
President , but he
paved the way for  some
of the 21st Century
misfortunes that
the nation has endured .

 Your Memories of President H. W. Bush depend  how good and how bad you'd like to remember him  &  on which side of the political party you lean . I am not going to do a Bush bash . Yea, its tearful to know  that he was vary ill , he loved his wife Barbara Bush dearly , like a Weathering Heights romance , the great eulogy of hope of a heavenly Reunion  .  BUT  I am  Really sorry that during the one term of H.W. Bush , he was really vary unpopular  . The great Bush lead our nation to war that left a carnage on the middle east , almost a million dead Iraqi's . Yes,  that whole Gulf War is nothing but a fiasco that could never be forgotten. It kept the oil flowing at a great price .  The price of American blood & a war that lasted 20 years since,  with the advent of September 11th , 2001 .With H.W. Bush passing away our US media is consciously creating a memory hole into which every president's misdeeds are erased away, as if they never happened  For me, H.W. Bush era  was an "extension" of Reagan .  His era began vary slowly , (1)>>it ended with a big bang . Looking back, 1988 was a turning point. It would be the last time any presidential candidate broke 400 votes in the electoral college, the last time California, New Jersey and Illinois went red. What was up until then viewed as the Republican lock would give way in four short years.   While  he tried to continue Reagan's policies , he was one of the ratifiers of the broadest arms reduction agreement in two decades. The agreement stipulates that the  (2)>>United States and the Soviet Union (Russia) President Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Things were looking up really bright for President H.W. Bush  (To become its standard bearer)  he made his great alliance with the Religious Right But beyond checking the appropriate denominational box and invoking the Deity on the appropriate ceremonial occasions, Bush did not make his religion part of his political life. Until 1988, that is Eight years earlier, Ronald Reagan had consummated the alliance between the (3)>>Republican Party and conservative white evangelicals. Motivated by the cultural shifts of the day, voters of the so-called religious right put their support behind a GOP that was willing to embrace their concerns about women’s liberation, gay rights and abortion. Now, religion was a force to be reckoned with in the party. Pushing "Family Values" planted the seed of the later Republican Party - alt- Right Tea Party movement . H.W. Bush placed himself (4)>>at a predicament of ridicule over his VP Dan Quayle. While the Bush family has had both conservative and liberal views on reproductive health and birth control, Bush family has led, to some extent, the movement of patrician Republicans from centrist thinking to conservative Christian opposition to birth control, abortion and research on reproductive health, such as the use of stem cells or fetal tissue in transplantation. For for the good , H. W. Bush  passed more major domestic legislation that any American president other than Lyndon Johnson and Franklin Roosevelt. He promoted and signed into law more than a dozen major bills during his single term, including the 1990 five-year budget, energy deregulation, the Clean Air Act, the 1990 farm bill, his crime bill, the 1991 Civil Rights Act and the Americans With Disabilities Act. He personally guided his policy team and sweated out the details just as diligently as he did on foreign policy. His commitment to the power of the free market, for example, was the key to breaking the 13-year congressional stalemate and getting his clean air legislation passed.George H.W. Bush’s death at 94 on Friday, fond remembrances are pouring in.  He's viewed like I said on how you lean politically.We mourn the passing of a leader who was  "slightly" careful and used his power  ever so cautiously.

NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

(1)>>it ended with a big bang .For all the second-guessing about the senior Bush's judgment on Iraq, the troubles encountered by his son speak for themselves: An estimated 4,563 Americans have been killed, and more than 32,000 wounded. The comparable Iraqi figures are far higher, of course. Then there is the multitrillion dollar cost to U.S. taxpayers, who will be footing the bill for the second Gulf War until mid-century. The cost to America in terms of squandered prestige and reputation is harder to quantify, but it has hardly been insignificant.    (2)>>United States and the Soviet Union (Russia). President George Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev issue statements strongly suggesting that the long-standing animosities at the core of the Cold War might be coming to an end. Commentators in both the United States and Russia went farther and declared that the Cold War was over.Bush and his advisers were cautiously optimistic about the summit, eager to follow up on the steps toward arms control taken by the preceding Reagan administration. Gorbachev was quite vocal about his desire for better relations with the United States so that he could pursue his domestic reform agenda and was more effusive in his declarations that the talks marked an important first step toward ending the Cold War. The Russian leader stated, “The characteristics of the Cold War should be abandoned.” He went on to suggest that, “The arms race, mistrust, psychological and ideological struggle, all those should be things of the past.”(3)>>Republican Party and conservative white evangelicals. America’s community of self-described evangelicals, about a fourth of the population, is increasingly divided between a more conservative, Trump-aligned bloc deeply worried about losing the so-called culture wars; and a bloc that is more liberal on issues like immigration, conscious of the need to appeal to nonwhite Christians and wary of the president. The split in evangelical Christianity isn’t new, but it appears to be widening under Trump.The embrace of fundamentalist Christianity by the GOP has been a huge regressive disaster for the United States.  It has unmoored our political discourse from facts and reason and replaced it with "the power of positive gooblitygoop wish-based thinking."  Under " H.W" these proclivities for "gut-based decision making" merely deepened and accelerated really bad decision making which was exploited and exacerbated by a rogue's gallery of charletons to this very moment.  But we'll remember your avuncular ass fondly, anyway, George. P.T. Barnum was a better observer of the American character than DeToqueville!(4)>>at a predicament of (4)>>at a predicament of ridicule over his VP Dan Quayle.  Quayle never recovered from the drag of those negative first impressions on his image.   That was the question on the front page of The New York Times on May 21, 1992.Murphy Brown was the main character on the sitcom by that name — played by the actor Candice Bergen — and the question was as political as it was personal. The blowback from liberals was swift, and an early skirmish in the culture war was on. Critics of the administration said it was hypocritical to condemn both abortion and single motherhood. In a fumbled response to Mr. Quayle’s remarks, the White House “first applauded, then dithered, then beat a befuddled retreat,” The Times reported.  Quayle, like Walter Mondale, served only a single term and did not achieve the later political success of recent vice presidents like Bush, who was elected president, or Mondale and Al Gore who won their party’s nomination. Some other recent vice presidents exercised greater influence.
