Bush made mistakes blah blah blah but what he did well will help this country in the longterm—SCOTUS picks, WOT, tax cuts. Once the things we’re feeling now—overspending in particular—are past, and once the reality of the Islamic jihad becomes too big for even Mayor Bloomberg to ignore, his stock will rise.
I think Bush will be seen as a mixed bag. He is a lot better than the left gives him credit for. Just wait till those tax cuts expire. It isn’t just overspending it is a whole mindset in govt that steps in where it has demonstrated nothing but failure or success at a cost not proportional to doing nothing at all and with utter disrespect for those who pay the bills and the sovereignty of the citizen. That said I’m sure as hell glad GW Bush was President and not Al Gore or John Kerry.
