The smartest man , in my life time, involved in politics is Mr. Cheney. Certainly . the one with the most class. Many here like to rip the President and his team. History will say something different.

I believe you are correct like history is already re-writing and evaluating the Ford Presidency it will do likewise in years to come of the Bush Presidency.

Again like Ford they will see the emotional and well roundness of George W Bush character which is emphasised in his pick of Vice President Dick Cheney.

There are many similarities in character and pressures though different ones that both Presidencies have had to endure and it is interesting that in both Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney to name 2 prominent members have both been there. God bless them and thank them for steadfastness and resolve and for making it more about others than themselves as they learned from their mentor and yes their friend Gerald R Ford.
