The Broken Bough

President Bush is derided by scholars and the media now and can only expect worse in the future. Rightly or wrongly, he is regarded as a failed President who crippled his own party. Blame for the financial crisis that was not his accrued to him. His efforts led to large losses by Republicans in this election. He and his inner circle are in peril of Congressional investigation and if Senator Boxer has her way, Bush may face a war crimes trial. This jeopardy to a basically honorable leader is ridiculous. Senator McCain's campaign was pitiful. He unilaterally disarmed early on by refusing to bring up Reverend Wright, Obama's hate pastor, and by minimizing the threat that President-elect Obama poses to freedom and prosperity. Senator McCain told a supporter he had nothing to fear from Obama who was an "honorable" family man. The faded McCain, much like Bob Dole, fought the campaign with one hand tied behind his back against this Marxist of Queensbury.
