Cox News Service is running an interesting editorial, Rejection of Bush, his legacy clear in election, on the statement that the election made about the Bush Administration:
Eight years after he wiggled his way into the White House by getting fewer popular votes and prevailing in courthouse battles, President Bush was ushered out Tuesday by a troubled nation looking for new direction.
I tend to agree that the election was as much about Bush as it was about McCain and/or Obama. It’s amazing that someone could so badly abandon their ideals and so badly mismanage a government and its foreign affairs.
Tuesday’s balloting ended an historic campaign with many cross-currents, including an uphill battle by McCain (which included some mistakes and miscalculations of his own) that was complicated by Bush’s persistent unpopularity and a legacy - and least for now - dominated by two lingering wars and an economy so battered that the free-market-loving president wound up siding with big-government bailouts.
Bush’s legacy has yet to be written. He should hope for a Truman-like rebound (probably long after he’s dead).
Eight years after he wiggled his way into the White House by getting fewer popular votes and prevailing in courthouse battles, President Bush was ushered out Tuesday by a troubled nation looking for new direction.
