How will history judge our 43rd president?


I suppose the picture will give away my viewpoint, but I am not alone in my belief that history will be much kinder to George W. Bush than popular culture and the mainstream media in the world have been.

I find it ironic that it sometimes takes the foreign media to give a decent defense of the soon-departed chief executive, but I suppose the epidemic of Obamamania may have intensified some of the worst of the BDS that has infected the nation for so long. (BDS= Bush Derangement Syndrome) The creator of BDS as a symptom also has a pretty decent defense of the president here.

Expect others to follow, but some are not waiting for the coronation of The One to begin to reassess #43. Some good choices are here, here, here, here, here, and here.

It will be interesting to see how #44 does when the pre-season is over.

The media will protect him as long as it can...but like in baseball, the ball always finds the nervous infielder.

President Obama had better bring more than rhetoric to the table.
