They were right that Bush doesn't have a deep grounding in history, but they forget he is a MANAGER, trained in his profession to weigh and take the advice of hired experts.
His National Security Advisor and now Secretary of State is one of the world's foremost experts on the former Soviet Union, and on how it was brought down by President Reagan.

Besides, they're a bunch of twits.

President Bush majored in history at Yale. He knows more history than his detractors put together.

Are we going to have to admit that Harvard has a good business school?

I would have to disagree with that. He may have a better grounding in history than any president since Teddy Roosevelt. He was after all a History major at Yale. It would appear he, like Reagan, also has that rare gift that allows him to see the big picture while others focus on the minutia.

They were right that Bush doesn't have a deep grounding in history

Things are going so well that there is a tendency to forget about all the "experts". Just a reminder for some time in the future that all these people were no only wrong but actively pulling us in the wrong direction. The real rubes it turns out are the sophisticated elites accustomed to acquiescence to their exalted opinions.
