If the elitist leftist media should ever drift back toward the center ... a huge "if" ... we would get a more balanced picture of Bush than we have and are to date. I agree he would be deemed to have been very sincere in trying to do what he thought was best for the country. Now, however, he hasn't a chance of being fairly evaluated.

My own view is that history, if it's written honestly, will vindicate President Bush as one of the most compassionate, effective, and sincere of them all. President GW Bush was indeed compassionate and sincere. Those are traits that his detractors will never measure him by. When people who suffered losses encountered hum, he cried with them. He did what he thought needed doing in the world, and was right far more often than he was wrong. As a foreign policy President he was far above average. When contrasted against Obama who is the worst foreign policy President in history, President Bush shines brightly. I many ways I agree that he was effective. In his management of fiscal matters either he was ineffective or effectively pursued bad policies. It is certainly true that most Americans who love this country truly miss President Bush.
