I guess he didn t see anyhing about it on television & then again his lovely wife did say
“we need to change our history”.
Once again right out of Leftism 101.

He had some tough decisions to make and didn’t seem to make them based upon popularity polls.

In the long run I think the American people will think more highly of the guy who is honest, even if wrong, rather than the guy who is making decisions based upon appearances sake.

So Bush’s numbers going up doesn’t surprise me.

Memories will be gone, silent, just as it was during the Nixon and FDR eras.

They don’t deserve it. They don’t deserve to win.

Not any more.

I’m sure he played tough ball politics behind the scenes, but he didn’t do in front of a TV camera as Obama does. If a reasonable foreign leader was up for election, he didn’t say things that anti-American opponents could use to dislodge them. He did manage to get some things done in South Sudan. He opened doors in India. He won friends in Africa. He got us through the mess in Pakistan after Bhutto’s death without causing a total catastrophe. When I heard John Ashcroft praised by Germany’s formerly leftist Interior Minister for his work on intelligence after 9/11, I knew that Bush had some good people working for him and keeping him informed about what was going on in the world. Bush really worked at foreign affairs. Given today’s chaos, I really miss him.
I get upset when I hear a Bush policy condemned without the condemner even trying to consider whether Bush was making a necessary compromise in order to achieve something he considered a priority. He understood the dangers of the Fannie May/ Freddie Mac housing bubble but couldn’t get throught the lefty propaganda to chang things. He truly researched the embryonic stem cell issue and came up with the unpopular compromise that gave other researchers a chance to develop alternatives. He did his work and accepted responsibility. Obama does neither.

Sir Winston’s bust in the Oval? Gone within 3-days. Returned to the Brits, accompanied by a DVD of Baby Boy’s speeches. The great American patriotic paintings you’d placed on the walls of the West Wing? Brought down and replaced with dozens and dozens of Barack photos…to be replaced with more of the same every month since. A few of the many early ‘Tells’ to be followed unendingly.
