Also, let’s remember President Bush liberated over 50 million people...enough to make him a world hero to any reasonable person. Perhaps, we should also remember President Bush’s stance on embryonic stem cell research, otherwise known as creating life (considered substandard) to use for experiments. And, I suppose we cannot really be fair and forget that because of President Bush’s quck actions with tax rebates and tax cuts gave us the most shallow recession (2001) since the forty’s. Oh wait, let’s see, President Bush also took on the Teacher’s Union and actually did something to at least put a muzzle on public educations bigotry. The President did fail though on trying to bring private ownership of our own retirement accounts. But then again, that wasn’t really the President’s failure, that was our failure. Oh, and President Bush did get some great Supreme Court justices and other ethical judges pushed through. And, let’s not forget the great humanitarian efforts he made to the suffering in Africa, President Bush is truly the first African President by their own terms...I view President Bush’s terms in office not as a failure but rather as an extraordinarily successful Presidency but a failure on the part of the American people to stand with their President.
Very good points and I absolutely agree with your closing argument!
