[Tex-Con-Man]

The biggest problem I have with Bush is his determination to remain a punching bag for the left. Gawd it drives me insane. Just a couple of speeches every once in a while comparing the economy then and now would be nice.

This Bush family doctrine of post presidential politeness is handing Dems the keys to the revisionist bulldozer.

[what's up]

A President can't do everything. The Bush's were executives...they weren't lawyers or journalists which is what the left largely is made up of.

The Clintons engaged the press constantly because both of them are lawyers. But in using their time this way they neglected to run the country (which IMO is what led to 9/11).

Bush decided to use his energy to keep us safe and keep the economy moving and he did those job well. Should he have done the "engagement thing" too? Not if it meant that the other jobs would have been neglected IMO.
