Yeah, but he didn’t give everybody a free house and job, like Obama promises.

The only surprise is that so many commentators should base their assessments on such superficial analyses.

Commentators shape opinion for a living, hence they crow about their successes. What is "surprising" about that?

These accomplishments as we are now seeing were larger than anyone gave him credit. Ozero has nearly destroyed our relationships in Pak/India as well as numerous others. Arrogant buffoons are the worst kind.

Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Guidance

I miss him, too, Seven!

John Howard was correct in his assessment.

The Leader - anonymous

Patient and steady with all he must bear,
Ready to accept every challenge with care,
Easy in manner, yet solid as steel,
Strong in his faith, refreshingly real,
Isn’t afraid to propose what is bold,
Doesn’t conform to the usual mold,
Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight wont do
Never back down when he sees what is true
Tells it all straight, and means it all too

Going forward and knowing he’s right
Even when doubted for why he would fight.
Over and over he makes his case clear
Reaching to touch the ones who won’t hear
Growing in strength, he won’t be unnerved
Ever assuring he’ll stand by his word

Wanting the world to join his firm stand.

Bracing for war, but praying for peace
Using his power so evil will cease:
So much a leader and worthy of trust,
Here stands a man who will do what he must

He successfully dealt with the biggest challenge of his eight years in office. Against all expectations there was no further terrorist attack on the United States in the seven remaining years of his administration which followed 11 September 2001. To say this now is to invite yawns and derision from most commentators, seemingly desperate to deny him any credit...
Guess the author's a lurker. ;')

Time (not the magazine) will vindicate President Bush.
