Look, Im pretty mad at him right now over the 700 billion dollar boondoggle but he sure gets credit for there not being another terror attack on the US since 9/11.
Victor Davis Hansen said this week that how we view GWB is going to be much like Truman was. he left office with a 24% approval rating but historians now see him better than they saw him at the time.
That is what Ive thought of GW for some time now. It is certainly a mixed bag.

I do give him credit for the steps taken in securing the country better after 9/11. He deserves credit for doing the right thing for the country there.
His biggest blunder was the people he surrouned himself with. People like Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, and Donald Rumsfeld were his biggest blunders.
Harriet Miers?? That was a horrible blunder. I mean the man didn't even check with his
own party before submitting a nominee for the SCOTUS. That seems unimaginable.
The surveillance laws enacted under the Bush administration are an attack on every American's consitutional rights. My phone calls from my friend in Ecuador can be tapped for no reason at all. No names on terror lists, no suspicions just because. I keep a mini copy of the Constitution on my desk and the last time I checked, the 4th amendment was a part of that. Infringing on that is treasonous!
I could go on and on about the blunders of the Bush administration and none of them have to do with the liberal news media.
