Bush during his tenure has made many mistakes, but that doesn’t give us a chance to write him off
When I sat down to write George Bush’s legacy, the literature surrounding him was full of disgusted people who are ready to rip him apart, given a single chance. His eight year long tenure as the President of the world's superpower has in many ways made United States the most criticised one, with a future, which is as bleak as it was during the Great Depression. He deserves the wrath for the steps that he took and the attitude that he followed in implementing them. So strong has been the wave of hatred against him that McCain during his whole campaign tried hard to disassociate himself from Bush, so much so that he clearly made it a point to say, “I am not George Bush” and got cheers for saying so.
The disgust has been so high and disappointment so deep that Bush was set aside as a lame duck long before his tenure had begin to see its end. His departure, as they say, would cause pain and rethinking only in one part of America – Hollywood. Bush has been the punching bag for not only America but the whole world and he was a God sent opportunity for Hollywood, which has extensively used Bush as the face of comedy from the very day he came to the office.
Bush’s past, present and future are all painted in black (pun unintended). He started his presidency under clouds of controversy. Recounting of votes that brought him to power, pushing aside Al Gore, had been questioned. The doubts were that Bush used his brother to win the voters that were not supporting him. Then came the allegations about his past and his involvement in corrupt oil dealings.
