Bush was elected twice because of the war we were in. They had the country convinced that it was not a good time to change Presidents. He was not because he was doing such a great job. I think the majority of the Country knew that he wasn't anything more than a puppet for Cheney and Rove. I think his DAD knew this and instead of son listening to father, he listened to these warmongers. It wasn't until the last two years of the Bush Presidency that he got wise and quit doing what Cheney and Rove wanted. I would love to have been a fly on the wall to find out what happened but something did. Rove shut up and semi-disappeared and Cheney hid in his bunker.
