President Bush was guilty of failure on many levels during his 8 year term as well as having 5 years of the worst PR I have ever seen from a White House.
However, saying that, I still believe history will reflect Bush’s vision for an unpopular war on terror as the right move at the right time and in 20-30 years he will be regarded as one of our best visionaries in history.
What a thankless job he has had. He saved our asses from more attacks and took the battle to them regardless of what the PC world thought of him.
I bet his public opinion polling numbers will be in the 40s-low 50s next year at this time.
I’ve had more differences with him than agreements- but he has kept us safe, and deserves great credit and our profound thanks for it.
This morning I read that already Obama is planning on releasing some at GITMO and bringing many others HERE on our own soil, for TRIAL.
I think that all of the crap we (rightfully) skewered him for - like Prescription Drugs, NCLB, rampant spending - is stuff that, to him, paled in comparison to the WOT.
I think he would give the Dems and Rinos just about anything they wanted, as long as W was able to keep America safe from another 9-11
