But, you'll notice, I haven't changed what I said about Bush's success with some of the issues.
I've merely changed the argument to looking at the forest, rather than the trees.
Since you can't agree with me that Bush has had very real successes, I thought I'd ask if you can see the overall picture of what Bush has accomplished.
Encouraging you to write of anyone else, currently living,* who might have done as well as Bush has, seemed like a good way to discuss presidential success with you, in a more general way. We could compare and contrast the two presidential styles.
I'm more than willing to incorporate what I learn from people who hold opinions opposed to mine. I might even change my mind, when others provide a strong argument. Your willingness to participate in this discussion is very helpful.
After all, being blind to the reality around me, isn't going to help me. I need all the help I can get, in figuring out how the world really works.
* How about Condi, or Cheney, Gore, or Kerry, for example? How would they have fared as President these past 5 years?
What an odd argument.
They didn't do what they said they were going to do.
Period, end of story.
