Regarding the ridiculous claim about W being the “worst President in our history” - when people invoke comparisons to Hitler or state that someone is the “worst in our history” they have already lost their argument.
Although Bush squandered opportunities to be a great President I believe he will eventually be regarded as having been a good and decent President who rose to the occasion after 9/11 to conduct a courageous WoT almost single-handedly and without hardly any help from the Congress.
I can agree with that. The part that bothers me wrt W is that I think he really could have been great had he simply stuck to his original plans and not tried to please everyone.... particlarly trying to gain favor with Kennedy on education. That was just dumb. If he does nothing this last year but build a fence, that would help too.
