Bush Will Not Be Remembered As The Worst President

The swearing in of Barack H. Obama for president of the United States ended the period of George W. Bush and along with him, many people find themselves without jobs. They no longer have a set person to blame all the ills and afflictions of the world on and should seek excuses elsewhere.

Bush was hated by the elite in Europe and Latin America simply because he was a Republican. Nothing that he could have done would have been enough for these groups. Jesus Christ himself can be the president of the United States, but if he is a Republican, he will be guaranteed an irrational worldwide hatred. Bush, with much less talent than Christ, had no other choice, but to rule in favor of his country and to ignore what outsiders thought.

Contrary to what most people think outside the United States, I doubt that Bush will be remembered as the worst president that ever existed.

He will be remembered as one who kept the environmental movement at bay and prevented the world from getting carried away by the panic created by “global warming” and the short-term Apocalypses. He was planted firmly against the Kyoto Treaty and forced the scientific community to deepen research on how much humanity can influence climate change before embarking on a project that could have deeply affected the global economy. Time has proven him right and the environmental movement and theory have begun to lose strength and are on the verge of disrepute.

Today few people relate the unpopular Vietnam War with the presidencies of Kennedy, Johnson or Nixon, and probably the same thing will happen with Bush and the Iraq war, especially since the change of strategy in 2007 resulted very positively in reducing violence in that country and succeeded in reversing the negative trend registered in the first years of invasion. As for the economy: In the U.S., the Americans know that a president’s influence on the economy is poor or even absent, given the way the system is structured. So no one would blame the banking crisis of the late 80’s on Reagan today.

He could easily be remembered for having prevented another terrorist attack in the United States since September 11. The validity of the methods employed in Guantanamo prisons will be discussed for years to come, but he avoided another attack.

Africa can hardly forget Bush, the president of the United States who took further initiatives to improve them and their economic conditions.

Not everything was rosy, he committed many errors, but the “information age” worked against him. Everything reported about Bush was exaggerated and ridiculed by “bloggers” and the people inexplicably gave them the same credibility as information professionals. These “bloggers” wanted to be Woodward and Bernstein, but these two did not fabricate the news, they investigated. The “bloggers” were left without Nixon.

Not close to being the best, but neither the worst, I am sure that history will treat Bush better than his contemporaries have done.
