GW KNEW that the war could be a presidency killer, but GW had never been in it for the power or the glory. A Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Newt, Fred Thompson, Romney...yes, they would have played it "smart". But GW is the other side of the same coin of Obama...willing to bet it all on their passions. America was lucky that GW's passion was THIS nation. Unfortunately, those who worship at the altar of communication got their "great communicator" and HIS passion is to change America into a Liberal Utopia.
The day that Israel attacks Iran and terrorist emboden by Obama's incompetence attacks America, most Americans are going to wish for the quiet, humble man who may not know how to give a good speech but knew how to roll up his sleeve and get the work done.
The fact is that GW's presidency did not fail...America survived not one but TWO recessions...America became the undisputed sole super power...America gave two nations the Bill of Rights and ended female apartheid in those countries. You and I know that If GW had been a Democrat, we would right now be measuring his likeness at Mt. Rushmore for all the things that had been accomplished during his two terms.
What DID fail is the American people's gratitude...if someone had said that GW was going to keep us safe for 7 years, people would have made bets that if he could manage that, just THAT MIRACLE alone, the whole nation would love him forever.
Who knew that 7 years later, many of those same people, some from his own party would instead be lamenting his inability to "communicate" properly?
