I need to thank my middle daughter for the heads up on this article.  In today’s New York Post there is a great article putting the George W. Bush Presidency in perspective.  As we sit in the complacency of seven plus years without a terrorist attack on our soil and twenty-four out of the last twenty-five quarters showing positive growth of the economy, we need to consider some of the adventures of past presidents.  I hope history will be kinder to George Bush than the American media has been.  As far as I know, you can’t be a total idiot and learn how to pilot a fighter plane.  I wish some of the people making that charge could be forced to go through flight training.  It might change their perspective.  Anyway, according to the article–

“Everything is the best/worst/funniest/most tragic/most brilliant thing ever, if you’re a high school girl, the hero of “Memento” or a political commentator. Things look different if you extend your memory more than five minutes into the past. Maybe the problem is the lack of a buzzword for the scandal. Here’s one: “Superlativegate.””

Thanks for your eight years, President Bush.  You stood tall, and I hope history will remember that.
