I agree..
“He lives squarely in the remaining 33 percent. “
I am proud to be one of that 33%... I had some major problems with some of Bush’s policies (amnesty, signing campaign finance reform, not pushing the surge a lot sooner, the bailout )...But he is a great man and the current occupant of the WH pales in comparison.
I never doubted that Bush made his decisions based on what he thought was best for the country, everything considered.
Meaning, sometimes he had to compromise on details or let the pols get away with earmarks in order to move forward on something important.
Politics is the art of the possible, while envisioning the ideal.
Proud 33% & 9-12'er
