Can it just be said that the presidency was not meant for George W. Bush? On paper, the Bush era will go down as one of the most contentious periods in political history. I still remember watching his first innaugural, seeing thousands of furious protesters hurling objects at the presidential motorcade.
Then we had 9/11. Truly a new day of infamy. Could Bush have prevented this moment? Maybe not. Could he have used the goodwill of the globe to wipe out Al Qaeda? Absolutely. Instead he secured his legacy with a gut reaction. Oh, then we had Katrina, etc etc.
Maybe history will focus on the prescription drug benefit or the behind the scenes effects of the "surge," or his down home charm.
Or not.
