Here's Rove's "Long View" which is quite short on reality. Grab the vomit bag.
So how might history view the 43rd president? I can hardly be considered an objective observer, but in this highly polarized period, who is?
You should have stopped right there. But, no...
However, I believe history will provide a more clear-eyed verdict on this president’s leadership than the anger of current critics would suggest.
President Bush will be viewed as a far-sighted leader who confronted the key test of the 21st century.
He will be judged as a man of moral clarity who put America on wartime footing in the dangerous struggle against radical Islamic terrorism.
[...]
President Bush will be seen as a compassionate leader who used America’s power for good.
[...]
History will see President Bush as a reformer who focused on modernizing important institutions.
He is concerned with fundamental change that will — among other goals — strengthen the ways our children are educated and health care is provided.
In education, “No Child Left Behind” introduced accountability into our public-education system by ensuring every child’s progress is measured.
[...]
He will be seen as an innovative conservative thinker with a positive, optimistic agenda for action.
[...]
The outcome in Iraq and Afghanistan will color how history views the president.
History’s concern is with final outcomes, not the missteps or advances of the moment. History will render a favorable verdict if the outcome in the Middle East is similar to what America saw after World War II.
[...]
History will see President Bush as right, and the opponents of his policy as mistaken — as George McGovern was in his time.
[...]
History demands much of America and its leaders and I am confident it will judge the 43rd president as a man more than worthy of the great office the American people twice entrusted to him.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
