The early vote took place because of Sen. Rand Paul who blocked action in the Senate for must of Thursday with a demand on an amendment leaving previous ceilings on federal spending in place.
âI ran for office because I was very critical of President Obamaâs trillion-dollar deficits â said  the Kentucky senator . âNow we have Republicans hand in hand with Democrats offering us trillion-dollar deficits. I canât in all honesty look the other way.â
âI have been offering all day to vote. I would like nothing more than to vote. But itâs the other side. Itâs the leadership that has refused to allow any amendments â  he  said.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W Bush ? As Jacobin 's Branko Marcetic reminds us , U.S. forces under the Bush administration killed multiple journalists , including shelling a hotel known to be full of international reporters . 
The Bush administration 's failure to prevent the 911 attacks , followed by the non-sequitur invasion and occupation of Iraq , gave rise to ISIS and the world we know today . 
It 's the opening of the National Museum of African-American History and Culture , and George W. Bush is sharing a brief snuggle with Michelle Obama . 
Without Bush 's two most fateful decisions -- letting Wall Street run amok and invading Iraq -- it 's hard to imagine Trump 's metamorphosis from a second-rate reality TV star to president of the United States .

Hazy nostalgia for George W. Bush carries broader risks . 
But where reputational rehab used to take a generation or two , Bush is trying to loosen the clutches of market-fresh infamy . 
Normalizing Bush weakens our already weak grip on history , making it that much harder to see how today 's political harvest was also cultivated by the administrations of Clinton , who signed the legislation implementing NAFTA and unleashed Wall Street , and Obama , who continued the Wall Street bailouts and allowed 90 percent of wealth creation during his tenure to accrue to the top 1 percent . 
The immediate context for the "normalizing" of George W. Bush is the rise of Donald Trump . 
But Bush 's policies created the conditions that brought Trump to power , and only in the wake of his own trademarked disasters does he look tame by comparison .

Among followers of Palin , who morphed into tea partiers and later into Trump die-hards , Bush was considered little better than Barack Obama . -RRB- 
The joke concerned recycling yesterday 's fashions at Urban Outfitters , but it hinted at a world where George W. Bush is recycled on national television and the pages of Time magazine . 
During Obama 's second term , it helped spawn an ironic reconsideration widespread enough for Vanity Fair to declare Bush "a hipster icon ." 
BuzzFeed went further , describing the born-to-wealth Bush as an "outsider artist" and offering "15 Reasons George W. Bush Should Come Work For BuzzFeed Animals ." 
Bush helped birth Trump , but he also revived the soul of national resistance . 
That resistance ca n't stop Bush and his fellow ex-presidents from trying to rewrite history and making tens of millions of dollars on the lecture circuit .

By the time Trump clinched the GOP nomination last year , Bush 's approval numbers equaled Bill Clinton 's -- a huge turnaround since Bush 's ignominious departure from office . 
Then came the cute-bomb of the "Embrace Seen Around the World ," followed more recently by the release of Bush 's coffee table art book , a sit-down on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and a People interview about his besties status with Michelle . 
In these and other forums , Bush declared racism bad and criticized Trump 's ban on travelers from seven -LRB- now six -RRB- Muslim-majority countries . 
For those desperate to escape the awful reality of the present , Bush 's comments reinforced the comforting delusion of a big-tent bipartisan #resistance that will return everything to the halcyon days of a completely sane and not-at-all racist Republican Party . 
"Bush worked hard to sow tolerance for Muslim-Americans , convinced -- like President Obama -- that respect and openness was an asset in the fight against jihadists ," Slate 's Jamelle Bouie wrote in November 2015 , as Trump 's candidacy rose on the back of his proposed Muslim ban . 
As president , Trump has shifted Americans ' vantage point on Bush , who seems competent , well-spoken , tolerant and humane by comparison .

Trump is an admirer of torture and other Bush deeds that have only driven extremists ' recruitment .
