G.W. Bush best vindication is that President Obama while
bashing him in public has quietly followed most of his policies at home and
abroad. Bush tax cuts were extended through Obama’s first term and most of them
have been made permanent for upper middle class and lower, GITMO is still open,
and concept of the Iraq Surge was used in Afghanistan. His help saved hundreds
of thousands of live from AIDS in Africa. The seeds of the 2008 economic meltdown
were sowed by earlier Administrations and Greenspan, Bush did try to save the banks
and domestic auto industry.
Bush immigration reforms ideas are being talked about and
Republicans are trying to figure out how he got 35-40% of Hispanic votes.
While Bush deserves criticism of his debatable decision to
invade Iraq and poor handling of the Iraq war, his critics are too biased to
give him due credit for his contributions.
