failed president? well, most people as the get older the mellow a little bit. get a little less judgment. you ve gotten more black and white, carl. kennedy could do no wrong and bush could do no right. kennedy did a lot wrong. and bush was great in africa. absolutely great. fabulous. i agree with that. he s now spending a lot of time on that. he ace real human teitarian. i don t think there s any question when historians look back george w. bush will be on the lower rungs of president. but i think he deserves some credit with a hyperpolarization he s kept his mouth shut about his successor. i think he s dealt with that with a grace that s very characteristic of the bush family. i think he made some serious errors, grievous misjudgements that for which his presidency is always going to be scorned in many ways by historians.
