As a historian perhaps you could explain how presidents are judged for greatness.

It varies depending on the historian. Each one looks at different issues. Since my area of focus is military history, then any books I write about President Bush would focus on the WOT.

Of course since a good number of historians are off in left field, there will be plenty who write nothing but trash about him and it has already started.

Last semester, one of the books I had to read, Parallax Visions, the author went back in 2003 and added a new introduction where he bashed Bush on every page.

- Bush didn't win the popular vote so he isn't really President.

- Bush was "selected" by the Supreme Court and not elected by the people.

- Bush is an idiot. He can't even pronounce common words.

- If Bush would have followed Clinton's example, the problems with North Korea would never have occurred.

- Bush was responsible for the incident with the U.S.S. Greenville.

- Bush knew about 9/11 ahead of time but allowed it to happen to promote his agenda.

- Bush is using 9/11 to promote a "Cold War mentality" and rebuild the "military industrial complex".

- Bush is using 9/11 to destroy the Constitution.

These are just the ones I remember off the top of my head.

This goes on and on for page after page. I almost tossed the book out the window but finished reading the crap and got a nearly perfect grade in the class.

The lunatic left is in fantasy land. Here's the truth: If it were up to Democrats, the USSR and the Cold War, with mutually assured nuclear destruction, would still exist. If it were up to Democrats, Saddam Hussein would still be in power commiting mass murder and torture, and providing training grounds and weapons to terrorists. If it were up to Democrats, the United States would been attacked several more times since 9/11/01, and hundreds of thousands of Americans would have been killed by biological, chemical and/or nuclear devices. If it were up to Democrats, we would have competely socialist medicine and people would be waiting months for surgery. Democrats want abortion on demand, recognition of gay marriages, higher taxes, and socialism. They have learned absolutely nothing from the utter and complete failure of the Evil Empire (USSR). The Democrat Party is the Jackass Party.

LOL - about the bash-Bush book you remarked on - the first point being: "Bush didn't win the popular vote so he isn't really President."

Someone aught to point out to that jerk that, by that criteria, Clinton was never President...

Good luck with your book - let us know?
