BUT..The greedy pillagers attacked the castle. We can argue about who let them land on our shores in the firstplace...Or who was on watch when it happened. -iraq/korea arguement. Point taken. But sort of a "tallest dwarf" argument. -Bush media. I will say that after 2004 it got rough on him and I would heartily agree with you...And i think part of it was a make up foul and revenge because before 2004 I felt like he was always getting the benefit of the doubt. Maybe because we were all scared. Maybe because we were made to feel like traitors if we questioned anything. Bush got the media and yea the world on his side after 9-11. The pitch at yankee stadium. chills thinkin about that. Phenomenal support. Even when he first took office. I remember an incident with China. They nabbed our plane and KEPT IT! no one dared question the weakness of that incident. I have a feeling if it was a dem. it wouldve been different. Peaceful transition. Right on. As they say, the best thing did george washington did for his country was step down when his term was over:-) -no the core of recession is not his fault.

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:29:11 +0000 http://johnmorello.com/wordpress/?p=611#comment-6717 Nicely done. I'm of the mind that Bush rarely got the media benefit of the doubt Obama will, and had to put up with a sort of deranged hatred from some quarters that fought him on everything he did because it was being done by, well, him. I think history will judge him differently. Not top 10, but with a renewed respect. He's certainly, as a WSJ columnist pointed out this week, leaving Iraq a whole lot better off than Truman left Korea. He was insane with the budget, and I can't stand that part of his legacy, but the core of the recession is not his fault as much as a collective failure to rein in Fannie and Freddie, and there's plenty of Democratic blame there, as well. And no one anticipated NO further attacks on our soil after 9/11. Bush's legacy will be fine, though imperfect, like -- as you say -- we all are. I hope we all give Obama more of a chance to succeed. It's good to see Americans upbeat. I worry about how he will reshape the role of government, and I wonder if he can stand up to teacher's unions to seek innovative improvements to education, and stand up to anti-free-traders to make America as competitive in the world as possible. I have substantive disagreements. But he might be the right man for this time, and it will be interesting to see Dems try to truly lead from their position of power. Reid and Pelosi's Congress has been a two-year joke. I think Obama is a grown-up, and maybe legislators will start to grow up as well. I love this country, and its peaceful transitions of power. Obama is my president now, and I wish him well. And although I disagree with much of your feelings on Bush, that was a more thoughtful take on his 8 years than anything I've read by someone who opposed him. Nice job. Yay for America. Onward toward 2012, and the end of the world as the Mayans knew it. Nicely done.
