I watched the Sean Hannity interview with former President W. Bush and I've got to say I really like Mr. Bush. Do I think he did a good job as president? Still have yet to make up my mind. He was FAR from perfect. He made some huge mistakes. But, I think he is a true patriot. I think he truly wanted to be the best leader he could. I think he believed he was doing what was best for the country. I think he wanted to make the world a better place.
I don't like that he increased the size of the government. TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) was a bad decision. The occupation of Iraq could have been handled better.
But he fought against the evils that he perceived in the world. He pulled no punches about what was coming for those he held responsible for the attacks on America. And he may not have spoken as eloquently as some, but I always got the message and I felt that he spoke from the heart.
History may not judge him kindly, but I think he is far from deserving the ire of those who would blame him for all the problems we now face. People all too often forget that the power in this country is divided in to three seperate branches, not one all powerful dictator.
I wish President George W. Bush all the best. A good man, with his heart in the right place. May we forgive him for his mistakes and remember that he has no control over what is happening now.
May the Force be with you.
He seems like he really cares about the American people. I enjoyed seeing his beautiful ranch, and liked the idea of him practicing Diplomacy there, very smart man to use the calming atmosphere of the country to get to know and understand other leaders.
ReplyDeleteGood point. He did seem to know how to relate to foreign leaders. I think, like Reagan, people underestimated his diplomatic abilities.
