Excellent indeed... Thank you for posting it...
BUMP!
Charles Krauthammer is a true visionary. I believe history will judge George W. Bush as one of Americas greatest Presidents. Thanks to us, together we all are making history.
Guess this somewhat puts an end to the Dems referring to
GWB as an idiotic retard. The man definitely has a plan.
Not sure I agree with the idea that there is NO Republican
in the wings ready to assume the candidacy in Nov, 2009. We've discussed several possibilities here at this site.
Oh man, libs will be pooping whole cows when they read this.
Cheney will probably resign in a couple of years because of his health, and then we will have the next republican candidate.
Unless Cheney decides to take an early retirement and Bush appoints a new VP.
A most probable scenario.
Rice in 2008?
Just because Cheyney isn't running doesn't mean that some present or former cabinet official might not run in his stead as GWB's heir. The dynamic that Krauthammer says will not exist doesn't necessarily require a VP. Another possibility: What if Jeb ran? (I don't think that he will, but...wouldn't he be held to the standard of Bush's heir? You bet he would.)

Wow. This would be the best thing to happen in this country in a long time.
Our economy, though the best in the world, is not running on all eight cylinders owed to the impediments to capital formation and work due to the punishment our tax code inflicts on entrepreneurs, employers, and investors.
Not to mention lack of complicity and wasted labor spent on tax preparation due to its complexity....not to mention the graft which the progressive tax creates and fosters within our political system.
In addition, the POOR have the most to gain, as the TURBOCHARGED new economy with increased incentives to work and invest would truly improve with removal of the disincentive employers now have to employ them.
Losers? The tax preparation industry and lobbyists.
AMEN & AMEN. That's how you get the job done. Go W!
A man with convictions and determination will will work tirelessly to accomplish that which he see's as right.
"it is amazing what you can achieve when you don't care who gets the credit" - approximation of quote attributed to Ronald Reagan I believe.
Charles is one of my favorites. Another excellent article.
It is little remarked that of all the two-term administrations in history, only two sitting presidents - Ronald Reagan and Andrew Jackson - have seen their vice-presidential running mates succeed them in the presidency. OK, add in FDR, who succeeded himself to a third term - but that's it.And it is little noted as well how frequently former governors are elected president, and how seldom senators are. And how rapidly those who attain national office (VP or President) do so after attaining statewide office (governor or senator); if you haven't attained national office within 14 years after becoming a governor, you ain't gonna become president. You become overage in grade (according to which, Jeb Bush won't become POTUS unless he's elected to national office in '08).
I am praying that "those around the world who were desperately hoping for his replacement and repudiation" ...... and are fearful.......... do not do something very radical as happened on this date (November 22) years ago to another president.
Presidents with such great ideas of change can be targeted. It happens way too often. George must be very careful!
I pray that his people take good care!
Kraut calmly picks up the Democrats' cage and vigorously shakes with both hands!
Charles has such a way with words, telling it like it is.
With all the threatening news being posted the past few days, this is a breath of fresh air.
IMHO, GWB has a mandate from GOD, and he knows it. I pray our Lord keeps an army of angels around him always.
Good read- I LOVE Krauthammer!
Krauthammer is really, really good.
