Well, yes.
That's not a convincing motive, bizzy. Surely you don't believe that?

Some of you need to see good movie that may be more powerful today, in light of what has happened in the past ten years, and what will happen in the future.
"Three Days of the Condor", starring Robert Redford.
Watch it, and then think about it.

Regardless of what you may think, one cannot be an idiot and hold a master's degree.
Regardless of what you may think, a person can in fact be an idiot and obtain a graduate degree by paying for it or cheating. (I have one that I earned.)
Secondly, he won not one, but two presidential elections,
ROFL
and led our country for 8 years.
Presidential historians are calling him the worst president in US history. And the historians can't be idiots; they have Master's Degrees.
Post 9/11, he had the highest approval rating of any president in history.
Which is not surprising, considering that most people are lemmings known for idealizing a hero when they need one. The first foreign attack on US soil in a long time, especially one that destroyed some of our beloved landmarks and disrupted the financial epicenter of the world, happened to be a time when they needed a hero. Hell, even people who hated cops suddenly became their fans.

Bush probably would have made a good comedian, but he made for what historians on both sides of the party line consider to be in the top ten "worst presidents" we've ever had in the USA.
"For all the Bush bashers out there who say George W. was the worst president America has ever had, hold up. C-SPAN has a rebuttal.
C-SPAN, the cable television network devoted to televising government proceedings, released its Historians Survey of Presidential Leadership a few days ago in honor of Presidents' Day.
According to the votes of 65 presidential historians, George W. Bush was the country's 36th best president. That would make him, with 42 presidents total in U.S. history, the 7th worst president.
So don't call him the worst, at least for now. Unless you are willing to tango with 65 historians who together say otherwise.
Bob Woodward,one of the journalists who covered the Nixon Watergate scandal for The Washington Post, once asked Bush how history would judge the Iraq War. "History," Bush responded. "We don't know. We'll all be dead."
He'd probably be surprised to see this survey. (By the way, Nixon was ranked 27th overall). "
