What If George W. Bush Were President?

Mar. 11, 2013 12:21am

Wayne Allyn Root is a Capitalist Evangelist, entrepreneur, and Libertarian-conservative Republican. Wayne began his career as a sports handicapper, and has gone on to host and appear on many of the biggest television and radio news networks including: FOX News Channel, FOX Business Network, CNBC, and radio shows like Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Jerry Doyle and Mancow Muller. He is a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee. Wayne's latest book is out on April 15, 2013: "The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide: Secrets to Protecting Your Family, Your Finances, and Your Freedom."

As John Lennon might say, “Imagine with me.”

If George W. Bush, a Republican-conservative was president, and he refused to answer the question about whether he had a right to order the assassination of American citizens on American soil, what would liberals say? What would the media say? What would Michael Moore, George Clooney and Sean Penn say? What would Senator Obama say? Always remember that Obama and Attorney General Holder refused to answer that question until U.S. Senator Rand Paul turned on the national media spotlight, and turned up the heat with a nearly 13 hour filibuster.

If a Republican President had a REAL unemployment rate of 14.3% (the government’s own U6 rate), would the media ignore that number and quote 7.7% as proof of a recovery?

If a Republican were president, would the media quote the 7.7% rate, but ignore the underlying numbers of 13.8% unemployment among black Americans, or 25.1% among teens?

If a Republican president was presiding over 13.8% black unemployment versus 6.8% white unemployment, would Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and U.S. Senator Obama be leading massive protests in the streets and blaming it on racism?

If a Republican was president while homelessness reached the highest levels in New York City since the 1929 Great Depression, what would Van Jones say?

If a Republican president presided over the biggest drop in disposable income in 54 years (since record-keeping began in 1959), what would the media say? What would the left say?

If a pro business Republican president presided over record numbers of suicides, at the same time we were suffering the worst economic crisis since 1929, would the media blame the suicide rate on “harsh pro-business conservative economic policies?” Yet today they say nothing. Why?

If a Republican president presided over a country with 50 million people on food stamps, what would the champions of “the war on poverty” say?

If a Republican president nominated a man for Treasury Secretary that held his money in the Cayman Islands in a building liberals called “the world’s biggest tax scam”…what would Senator Harry Reid say? We already know what he said about Mitt Romney for doing the same thing. Yet we hear stone silence from Reid and Democrats about Obama’s choice for Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

What if a Republican president sold guns to Mexican drug cartels that were then used to kill 300 Mexicans plus a U.S. Border Agent? What would the Democrat controlled Senate say?

What if a Republican president refused higher security for a U.S. Ambassador, then upon hearing he was under attack, refused to allow a rescue attempt, and then left for the night. Would the media have a problem with the image of a Republican President sleeping while our Ambassador and three American heroes were slaughtered, while waiting for help that never came? Somehow I think Geraldo would be up in arms.

What if a Republican president played golf with Tiger Woods at a luxury resort all weekend and refused media access, while Americans were suffering, and a sequestration crisis that could damage the economy was looming within days? What would the media say?

What if a Republican president named Bush was presiding over historic numbers of Americans under the age of 30 living in poverty, record numbers of college graduates in default on student loans, and record numbers of middle aged Americans raiding their retirement accounts out of desperation to survive? Do you think the media would report this economy is in “recovery?”

U.S. Senator Rand Paul obviously has been imagining this scenario and has had enough. Last week he stood up to President Obama for nearly 13 courageous hours. For nearly 13 hours he showed America how a real United States Senator should act. For nearly 13 long hours he prodded a sleeping giant (the American public) to wake up and shout “I’m not going to take it anymore.”

What If George W. Bush Were President?

This video frame grab provided by Senate Television shows Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. speaking on the floor of the Senate on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, March 6, 2013. Senate Democrats pushed Wednesday for speedy confirmation of John Brennan’s nomination to be CIA director but ran into a snag after a Paul began a lengthy speech over the legality of potential drone strikes on U.S. soil. But Paul stalled the chamber to start what he called a filibuster of Brennan’s nomination. Paul’s remarks were centered on what he said was the Obama administration’s refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes inside the United States against American citizens. (Credit: AP)

Perhaps this was a moment that we’ll be reading about in the history books one day. This was certainly the moment we learned the emperor has no clothes.

Thank you Rand for reminding us what it means to be an American.

I’d just like to see a Republican filibuster in the future drawing attention to the tragic Obama economy and all the middle class Americans whose lives are being destroyed by Obama’s taxes, over-spending, and record levels of deficit and debt.

For that topic I’d recommend at least a 24 hour filibuster.

    Bush may have been a Republican, but he damn sure wasn’t a conservative….and there wouldn’t be a bit of difference today. Left or right, it doesn’t matter: An authoritarian is an authoritarian.

    I think I’d take the worst days of the Bush economy (reached, oddly enough, only after the 2006 elections returned the House to Democrat control,,,I’m sure that was a coincidence though) than the best under President Obama.

      That is only sort of true. The actual problem is that the GOP base is tired of Rhinos, and many of them did not bother to vote for Romney. Combine that with Obama base voter fraud, and you get the numbers that put Obama back in office.

    If George Bush were President, the Democrat’s coward/piven plot would have failed and our recovery would have been in full swing within Months of the housing bubble, mortgage crisis. That’s a fact. We stabilize quickly, but destabilized as soon as obama was elected. Obaam began with ‘the worst crisis ever, worse than imaginable’ immediately. he said it 1,000 times. First thing he did was eliminate the ‘reserve funding called TARP, which never would have to do anything except set dormant as a backup to calm the markets. He forced it on the backs so he could then claim control, because they were ‘Government supported’. Even though they did not want it.
    With the ‘asset relief fund’ now dissipated and public confidence collapsed, the crisis began for real, as if no backup had ever existed. It was so bad that nobody but nobody wanted to borrow any money and the markets ballooned with funny money the banks were getting at no interest (free). 1,000s of community banks folded, were taken over or swallowed up into the already ‘too big to fail’ banks. THAT is where we are today.

      Really? You think things were better with Bush than they are with Obama (Bush 2.0)? There’s not a damn bit of difference. Both are authoritarian, big-govt. progressives. Bush is part of the reason we have our @$$ in the crack that it’s in.

      @KHV

      Do you know that it was a demrat who got us into most wars in the last 100 years? Do you know that there are approximately 55,000 names on the wall at the Viet Nam Memorial? Do you know that more people are murdered in this country by other Americans in a single year than have died in both the War and Iraq and Afganistan combined (and we had been there for almost 12)? Have you ever put on a uniform Fool? I bet you haven’t. Because if you ever had the balls to put on a uniform, you would know not a single dead soldier would want you crying for them like they are some hopeless victims in a meaningless war. They served their country and dies doing so. How dare you take that honor away from them you putrid piece of garbage! People like you discust me.

      @Oni. Yeah George W and Dick Cheney who said “nobody could have imagined” the planes hitting the towers on 9-11. Even though the Bush admin had many reports about al Qaeda and bin laden wanting to hijack planes. Does”Able Danger” ring a bell? Hell on 9-11-01 the only reason why the 2 airlines that hit the towers WEREN’T intercepted is because our NORAD air defense F-16s were(conveniently)on a practice mission “simulating hijacked airliners” over the Atlantic. So when the call went out on 9-11 to scramble jets,the responding pilots thought the attacks were part of the “simulations”, and did not respond in time to protect the towers. Now is that a helluva coincidence or what? Now you now why George W had that guilty look on his face in that Florida classroom. 9-11 meant Bush Jr could finally kill the guy(Saddam)who “tried to kill my dad”(Bush Sr), among other things like oil pipelines and poppy/heroin/painkillers from Afghanistan.Bush was a gangster like the rest of em

      Strange that for someone the Left loves to claim was a dunce, GWB’s GPA at Yale was higher than the genius Al Gore’s at Harvard, a genius who almost flunked out of divinity school at Vanderbilt.

      And for those who are unfamiliar with the necessary qualifications, no stupid person can successfully and competently fly a high performance fighter jet aircraft as did GWB in the Air Guard.

      God only knows what BHO’s grades were, one has to think that considering the lengths to which he’s gone to hide them, they must be pretty grim. BHO, the Great Imposter, devoid of substance and hiding from the truth of his own disappointing life.

      Now we have to fumigate both the white house and the country at large, plus take out the trash (trash being just about every liberal politician, rinos included, alive). Whereas the trash is concerned we don’t have enough toxic dumps to handle the load or for that matter tar and feathers. I know, send them on a one way all expense paid vacation to a communist country of their liking (not necessarily of their choice). The USA doens’t count. Concerning the entertainment rich. They like taxes so much, tax them to the point that the only trips they take are to a 7-11 in a 20 year old clunker for some cheap powedered sugar donuts to feed their egos. As for rabid left wing news people, throw them in a room together lock the door and throw away the key. They’ll eat one another alive, probably in a couple of days.
