I have only two problems with W.
1.) He spent too much.
2.) He didn’t spend enough time communicating his agenda directly like Reagan did.
Historians will chronicle him as a near great president. Unless they’re honest then he’ll be a great president.
Look at some of his acclomplishments:
1)Roberts
2)Alito
3)No attacks for 8 years
4)Economic prosperity against all odds
5)Second Amendment affirmed as an individual RIGHT.
6)Liberated 50 million people from tyranny
7)Stem cell research position. I haven’t seen this for a while but that was a good decision back in 2001 I think.
8)Laura Bush is the classiest First Lady since Barbara and before then I don’t know when.
9)First manly president since Teddy Roosevelt and Ike Eisenhower(Sarah Palin might have extended the run)
10)A clarity of vision not seen since Lincoln (unfortunately not communicated well enough).
I agree with you that President Bush has the most vision since President Lincoln. He viewed America as a nation no longer divided just as our current President viewed the Middle East where freedom will reign because it is God’s gift to humanity. I think the World will view his legacy favorably once Iraq becomes stable and prosperous. Even President-elect Obama can’t screw up that one, thanks to our President, Al-Qaeda is virtually decimated.
