[george w bush] what will history say


A Republican view

* He'll be remembered as the President who, despite terrorist attacks, preserved civil rights, kept the economy strong through tax cuts, made the tax system more progressive, and finally fought back against the terrorists.

* He'll be remembered as the first president to try to bring us together after the divisive Clinton years and the President who rebuilt the military.

* He'll be remembered as the President who presided over the fastest, biggest aid package ever after Katrina.

* He will be remembered for liberating 50 million Muslims who spent their lives under murderous regiemes. He protected us from future attacks that we believed were just around the corner.

* Bush lowered taxes and tried to impose his will on a democratic marority house and senate
