Below is a quick recap of it, along with a few excerpts:
"Critics are tallying the Bush administration's pluses and minuses, and some consensus is emerging that in time George W. Bush, like Harry Truman, will be seen in a far more favorable light than his current low poll ratings reflect."
-The supreme court justices he appointed were good
- HIV relief efforts in Africa saved millions of lives and exceeded the results in that area of any other president in history
- He finished up some stuff Clinton had started with Saddam Hussein
- Government is better for the people of Iraq.
- Also almost every expert warned there would be another attack on the US after 9/11, but there hasn't been in 7 years.
- al-Qaida is pretty much done with. There's a few dudes left, hiding out in the middle of nowhere but that's about it, and suicide bombings are not as popular now.
"federal intervention to restore financial credit and trust has already begun"
"Unmentioned has been Bush's character of both honesty and resoluteness. He ran one of the most corruption-free administrations in memory, something we are already beginning to appreciate as we compare the prior scandal-ridden Clintons and the Chicagoesque ambiguities that already swirl around Barack Obama and his cabinet appointments.
In time, historians will come to a fairer verdict of George W. Bush; in the meantime such a favorable reassessment has already begun."

Don't hate me because I liked Dubya. :-) Kind of sad to see the old chap go. He had guts, and didn't cave in to what everyone thought was popular. And he didn't have scandals and junk to feed the tabloids, either.
Yep. Gonna miss him.
