Post-mortems of the Presidency of George W. Bush are sure to follow in the weeks and months ahead. He surely leaves on a very low economic note, after successfully stimulating the economy through tax cuts initiated in his first year. Iraq seems to be turning around, however, which must please him very much.

Here's a positive assessment of the Bush Presidency from the Weekly Standard, which surely leans to the Right. The points made are very well-taken, however.

quote:

How does Bush rank as a president? We won't know until he's judged from the perspective of two or three decades. Hindsight forced a sharp upgrading of the presidencies of Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower. Given his achievements, it may have the same effect for Bush.
