    Dubba’s third and fourth term.

    It’s kinda ironic, I don’t know whether this reflects how the guy actually thought about his presidency, but when he was in office there was a lot of chatter about the kind of “legacy” his administration would have. I’m fairly certain now that he’s gonna be one of those overlooked presidents, seen as a caretaker-administration to all the shit started by GW Bush and a preamble to a lot of what Trump has ran wild with.

    Maybe the history books also mention he passed a healthcare bill inspired by the Heritage Foundation and insurance lobbyists.
