Here's GOP Rep. Peter Roskam, speaking about President Bush's legacy on WLS' Don Wade & Roma Morning Show yesterday morning:
ROMA: By the way, will Bush ever get credit for being the most ocean-friendly, the most ecological president ever?
ROSKAM: Not in our lifetimes, but I’ve got a prediction: I think you know, it's going to be one of these Harry Truman look-backs in about 50 years. And at that point, history tends to look with more clarity on an administration. And there’s plenty to criticize, but let’s face it: he’s kept us safe since 9/11, he took on the challenge of Africa like no other president ever did, and you know Roma, the point you made also is on those key ecological questions, he really stepped up. And he got the tax question really, really soundly. So I think he’s going to be perceived kind of as a Harry Truman -- tough guy, stood his ground, and history tends to be good to those people. But it takes a while.
So much could be said ... but I think we'll just let this one speak for itself.
