However, in the entire body of work that is the Presidency of George W. Bush, the following surely should be mentioned too:
- He kept us safe from another terrorist act during his 8 years as President;
- He prevented the words 'President Gore' from ever being said together (just stop and think of the immeasurable good that came from this being prevented!);
- SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts;
- SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito;
- He was a good and decent man who loves the USA (not taken for granted any longer);
- He loved and was loved by our men and women in the military;
- He gave us Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld during a crucial time for our country.
There's plenty more and I invite others to add to the list.
Flame suit on. Check.
President Bush's stellar role as CinC cannot be overstated. His troops would step in front of a bullet for him. They respected and loved him, as he did them.
That important fact cannot be overstated.
