DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nNot everyone appreciates George W. Bush's sense of humor as seen in 
 the following quotes.\n\n"You know, I could run for governor and all this 
 but I’m basically a media creation. I’ve never really done anything. 
 I’ve worked for my dad. I worked in the oil industry. But that’s not 
 the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office." ~ 
 George W. Bush.  In an interview with the Midland Reporter Telegram on July 
 4, 1989, quoted in Bush’s Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush 
 Presidential (John Wiley and Sons, 2003) by James Moore and Wayne Slater, 
 p. 161.\n\n\n\n\n"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take 
 dream." ~ George W. Bush, speech in La Crosse, Wisconsin, (October 18, 
 2000) \n\n"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're 
 really talking about peace." ~ George W. Bush, Department of Housing and 
 Urban Development, Washington, D.C. (June 18, 2002).\n\n"Our enemies are 
 innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about 
 new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." ~ George 
 W. Bush, signing ceremony for a $417bn defense spending bill, 5 August 
 2004\n\n"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran 
 is simply ridiculous. (Short pause) And having said that, all options are 
 on the table. (Laughter)" ~ George W. Bush, meeting with E.U. leaders, 
 February 22, 2005\n\n\n\n\nFor the motion: Simon Jenkins, journalist and 
 author and Jacob Weisberg, Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of The Slate 
 Group\n"I had great respect for Bush when he came to power. I liked his 
 courtesy, I liked his moderation, and I liked his concept of humility in 
 America's power projection. I think, tragically, after 9/11, he allowed the 
 politics of fear to get the better of him; he persuaded my prime minister, 
 Tony Blair, to let the politics of fear aid his re-election campaign as 
 well. The politics of fear is the most corrosive of all forms of politics 
 in a democracy." ~ British journalist Simon Jenkins, a columnist for the 
 Guardian and the Sunday Times\n\n"Bush was never up to the job of being 
 president, and it's not a matter of lacking in intelligence; it's a matter 
 of lacking character. Bush wasn't interested enough in policy; he couldn't 
 tolerate challenge or dissent or disagreement; he couldn't open his mind 
 long enough to consider alternatives or admit the possibility that he might 
 sometimes be wrong. He let his righteousness and his arrogance and his 
 anger get the better of him. And in the end, I think what's so damning 
 about Bush and what does make him the worst president of the last 50 years 
 is that these were things within his control." ~ Jacob Weisberg, chairman 
 and editor-in-chief of The Slate Group\n\n\n\n\nAgainst the motion: William 
 Kristol, Editor of the Weekly Standard and Karl Rove, Fox News 
 Contributor\n"In the real world, the choices are not, you know, perfection, 
 and ... in the real world, he's made a lot of tough decisions, most of them 
 correct. ... There's no reason not to be critical of Bush, not to disagree 
 with Bush, not to prefer Obama, not to have voted for Gore and Kerry — 
 most people in New York, obviously, have all those views. But to think that 
 he's the worst president in 50 years is just silly." ~ William Kristol, 
 editor of The Weekly Standard and columnist for The New York Times\n\n"I 
 will defend the president, and I will defend the record of the last eight 
 years. Not always successful, but enormously successful over the long term 
 and the long sweep of history." ~ Karl Rove, chief architect of Bush's 2000 
 and 2004 presidential campaigns, and Bush's senior adviser and deputy chief 
 of staff from 2001-07\n\nModerator: John Donvan, author and correspondent 
 for ABC News.\nThis debate was conducted on December 2, 2008. \nSource:
