Bush: At least one legacy to be glad for?
Filed under: National Republicans
While Pawlenty is spending an awful lot of time angling for the VP slot, The New Yorker's Hendrik Hertzberg, as discussed last week, is pushing the McCain/Rice ticket.
What Hertzberg also did is raise a legacy issue for which critics of President Bush--and perhaps even what Hertzberg calls the Republican Party's "hardened racists and incorrigible misogynists"--may be hesitant to hand him:
...a kind word for George W. Bush may be in order. By appointing first Colin Powell and then Rice to the most senior job in the Cabinet, a job of global scope, Bush changed the way millions of white Americans think about black public officials. This may turn out to the most positive legacy of his benighted Presidency.
You may buy it and you may not, but it is a tempting invitation to put aside, if only for a moment, much more evident legacy issues in favor of a comprehensive look at eight years of the letter W.

We can all agree he is virtually worthless and the antithesis of republicanism. But what about the tax cuts, most notably rolling back the capital gains tax? More people are investing than ever before. Now supposedly in '10 Congress will overturn those cuts. Is ownership of self a bad thing? Wait, wait; I'll answer: Only if you're a socialist.

"More people are investing than ever before."
Yep, sure are... and losing their shirts.
I can't wait to line my bird cage with those shares of Bear Stearns...
I think if you check closely, more NON-AMERICAN people are investing than ever before, a result of the plummeting dollar...
After all, it won't be long before Europeans can start changing the word 'peso' to 'American dollar' in all those old joke books...
And we can thank Mr. Bush for that.

No! Bad Vitajex! Americans from all socioeconomic backgrounds are investing in record numbers. Also the President of the U.S. is not the President of the Economy. The Fed controls the money supply. Furthermore, a plummetting dollar isn't all bad. Can you figure out why, or are you only good for quips and recycled non-truths? (Are you really Helm Matthews in disguise?) Stop being a lap dog.
