The Bush 43 presidential library will soon be dedicated, and as such, many folks are revisiting his legacy. Of course, I was a big Bush fan, though I'm rational enough to admit he wasn't flawless, for example...the federal response to Katrina was inexcusable (though state and local leaders deserve even more blame, it could have been handled if the mayor & governor had a clue); the strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan was short-sighted and flawed. And he failed to make meaningful reforms to social security and medicare. The economy collapsed on his watch, but no one can tell me what Bush did to help cause that...
I can't give him sufficient credit for his response to 09/11. And for what he did in Africa with AIDS, if there was any fairmess in the world, he would have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Bush's AIDS relief plan, PEPFAR, saved more than one million lives. That's staggering, absolutely staggering.
I miss him more and more every day of these last 4 long, long years.
