I can overlook to some extent now by comparison some of the tactics to which #41 resorted in order to get elected. I certainly laud him for how he handled Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The conduct of his personal life seems to have been very decent. He and the others have been at least dedicated to preserving our democratic republic even if we can hold most all responsible for policies, laws, etc. allowing the disgraceful imbalance of financial wealth in this country.

I am not as aware of all the personalities mentioned in the post except to the extent of any other Indian just superficially interested in Presidents of other countries. I have however been reading a lot of good things about the latest late Bush and I must say that your post only adds to his stature in my eyes.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.com
