If history is going to be kind to Bush, historians first need something to be kind to him for. ,,,,,,.
I can’t point to anything similar for Bush other than his finest hour in the immediate aftermath of September 11th when he stood on a pile of rubble in NYC and let it all hang out. That’s better than anything Ford could point to, but I don’t know if it results in enough historical brownie points to rank above, say, Taft. [/quote]
Let’s not Forget, Bush ignored all the CIA warnings about “Bin Laden
Determined to Attack” and how he demoted his Counter-Terrorism
Chief so as to not get direct reports from him.
And lets not forget in the Immediate aftermath of 9/11 Bush went
and did not fly to DC to take command of the government, no, no, no,
He went and hid in a hole in the ground at SAC for 2 days.
For 2 days all we had was Bush in his little chicken Bunker and
Cheney in the Fuhrer Bunker under pennsylvania Avenue.
All we had for Leadership was Giuliani.
During the Civil War Lincoln rode up to Silver Spring to inspect the
troops and give morale to the men defending the capitol from Stuart’s
Raiders.
