Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says that President Obama’s foreign policy is so abysmal he wants president George W. Bush back in the White House.

“I miss George W. Bush!” Graham yelled during the CNN GOP debate Tuesday.

“The surge worked. It worked,” Graham said, referring to the late-stage Bush policy in Iraq. “George W Bush made mistakes, but he did adjust. I blame Obama for ISIL, not Bush.”

Graham said he was fed up with the “beating up on Bush.”

“I miss George W. Bush. I wish you were President right now. We wouldn’t be in this mess,” Graham said.

    You’re correct, Lindsey; we’d be in a lot bigger mess.

  2. Ha! Now that’s a real knee-slapper! Har-har! :smile:

  3. Good god, if W were still President I’d have had to eat my neighbor’s dog by now.

  4. I thought about another comment, but yours cuts to the chase.

  5. I realize people often overuse or even incorrectly use the world “literally” but I have to say in this case W. literally created the mess that so troubles Lindsey Graham. Of course, poor Lindsey is far too obtuse to understand the true nature of the problems plaguing the world today, so how could he possibly even begin to fathom their origins? I imagine tying shoes challenges him :wink:
