As hated by the left and disregarded by the right as he is, our fearless leader was able to ramrod a sweeping bill thru congress in less than two weeks. That’s guts. That’s power. That’s spending political capital.
Polls, which I think are led, show him with an approval rating of around 35%, yet at least in my ‘hood, he is still very much liked, respected, and loved.
I think Mr. Bush’s legacy is going to show that he had a Presidency that had the challanges only equaled by that of FDR, and that he was able to guide the nation thru that very difficult period with leadership and conviction. I think that history will show him as a strong President, like it did Mr. Reagan.
Mr. Reagan was attacked almost as constantly as Mr. Bush. He was called an idiot and a moron, and was generally disregarded by the media. Remember that Phil Collins video? Well, history now shows that he was a great President. Mr. Bush is going to be shown by history to have been a great president.
