George W. Bush’s True Legacy

[The left has mercilessly attacked Bush and demonized him and most people believe that he is the worst President ever. But it is not true. Read this article and decide for yourself.]

As the George Bush presidency comes to an end it may help to put on the record his many epic accomplishments which have been so distorted by his political adversaries. Throughout it all, President Bush and the Bush family have been unfailingly civil and courteous to their worst domestic adversaries, like the Kennedy family and the civil rights leadership, almost to a fault, while the Kennedy’s, the civil rights leaders and those on the left continue to try and demonize him with the most vicious calumnies and personal slurs any modern president has been labled with. Yet George Bush smiles, keeps his cool, and wins almost all his political battles.

It all began in 2000. After a successful stint as Governor of our second largest state, re-elected by a larger margin than his original victory against Democrat icon Ann Richards, George Bush was elected US President after his opponent, Al Gore, tried every trick in the book to try and overturn the results of the flawed Florida vote count. Every one of the offending precincts that had had voting problems in Florida were run by Democrats, yet Al Gore’s campaign claimed the election was stolen, and he demanded a selective re-count, not across Florida, but in only certain Democrat-controlled areas. Then the Democrat controlled Florida Supreme Court blatantly misconstrued the Florida constitution and had to be over-ruled by the US Supreme Court. Finally, Bush had won. The left has never forgiven him and he has been under a relentless barrage of public and personal attack ever since.

How is it Bush's fault that thousands of people bought adjustible rate loans on houses that no way in hell they could afford? They bet against teh economy and they lost their asses.

Well, the author claims Bush helped them achieve the goal of a mortgage. Also, Bush went out of his way to claim responsibility for them. Just check his State of the Union speeches from 2002 and 2003 (I think).

Read this really good and true one while you're at it. It's here at American Thinker:

A Brief History of Bush's Time

Thank you! That was an excellent article. I have saved it and just might commit it to memory.
