Good article. Now, if they can kill Bin Laden within the next two weeks, it would be a slam-dunk! GW would go down in history as Great Leader.
Bush is not the first president to present this kind of self-effacing image. Eisenhower also beguiled his adversaries by pretending to not be as smart as he really was. He was also a delegator, like Bush. And he was a much more effective president than commonly credited.
Has anyone ever asked Bush about this similarity, and whether he is conciously modelling himself after Ike?
