True and for that we thank him.
However, he NEVER stood up for himself or to the democrats.
He NEVER explained well to the American people WHY certain things needed to be done. He just assumed we all got it.
He NEVER saw a spending bill he didn't sign. Angering all conservatives and giving cover to the democrats today to jack up our debt level to record levels.
He SIGNED the McCain/Finegold bill that limited our free speech rights.
President Bush did do MANY good things but he also did many other things poorly and he is directly responsible for the pres__ent we have today.
Brian Mulroney made the same mistake as PM of Canada and took it on the chin for it big time (no pun intended). I'm confident that historians will far more positive regarding President Bush and my former PM than their contemporaries.
