It's the eye of the beholder hang. I see some the same & some very differently myself. I voted for Bush...twice. But I see him as I see any politician pretty much, it's the lesser of two evils choice.
No one is as pure as driven snow, not even loveable Ronald Reagan or the kooky Jimmy Carter, who seemed like a very likeable guy as opposed to clintons cold clammy hands & used cars salesman manner; slick willy fit him nicely (yes I met the man, shook his hand & spoke to him). Nixon was a crook who Ford pardoned, Lincoln was the first Nazi but the world didn't know what one was yet.
I began to think years ago after studying about the "care taker presidents" that maybe they were the only honest ones after old George Washington & that's why you never hear about them, they just did their job & didn't stir things up & left the country no worse for wear when they were done
