KzoKnight, on Jennifer Rubin:

It’s disappointing to see how many people like John Hartman feel such a passionate hate for George Bush they can’t even break outside of their emotions to understand what’s going on in the world today. But the fact is people who believe George Bush “did his very best to ruin the country” are indeed a minority, as evidenced by the new poll showing that 74% of Americans believe George Bush is a good person. People like Hartman don’t understand what approval ratings really measure, and most of them aren’t aware that approval ratings of Congress are just as low partly as a consequence of the challenges we currently face.

It’ll be awhile before history can render an objective judgment, but I agree with those of you who speculate Bush will be remembered as a hero for the courageous stand he took in Iraq and Afghanistan, and depending on how long it takes the economy to bounce back, his management of our economy is more likely to be his Achilles heel.
