good job of summarizing Bush presidency without a reference to the single biggest historical event, (guess what?) Plus the moldy left wing blather about Katrina. An article that you can run over and post on KOS to high applause and acclaim.

My thoughts, exactly. And it’s not just Zakeet. Wonder what “nom de plumes” they use over at DU.
Well said, gus. Bush had big government on the brain, but it doesn't tell the whole story of the man and his presidency.
HE STAYED THE COURSE in the face of brutal fire from the anti-American mainstream and world media, and in staying the course he kept us safe. For that I will always be grateful.
So what? This is not the point! Bush has ruined the conservative republican party. I give him plenty of credit for keeping us safe, but he was just another moderate who mollycoddled democrats. Bush spent way too much on gov't, and pursued an estrangement from conservative principles!
During the first 48 hours after the hurricane, the bulk of the manpower (helicopters and natl guard troops) were engaged in lifesaving search and rescue (as they should have been) for the hundreds of thousands of people trapped in homes, attics, rooftops, and elsewhere.
It took the big food and water convoys 48-36 hours to clear away rubble and rebuild destroyed highways JUST TO GET TO NEW ORLEANS proper!
Meanwhile, the Ray Nagin liberal screw ups and the Louisana governor were hiding under their beds, demanding this and that.
I am so sick of this blame of GWB. All efforts except for New Orleans went perfectly smooth, which proves to me that the local govts of new orleans couldn't rescue a freaking bunny rabbit on a sunny day.
It irks me to no end that even smart conservative Republicans have bought into this 'Katrina rescue was a disaster' baloney.
