I too shall miss the steadfastness of G.W. and his conviction of purpose. I’m always amazed at the blindness of those who pretend to be journalists and historians in our land today. Blindness at the similarities between these two. A large part of the problem has been the perceived lack of communication ability by G.W., especially compared to Abe. Wonder what we would think if Abe had not just been quoted from prepared speeches but shown everyday on Television, then ridiculed and mocked as a dummy. Some how, when the print news ripped into Lincoln as a buffoon, a monkey, a yokel, it just didn’t stick to him as it has to G.W. History will sort this out and I only hope that a generation of historians will look at what actually took place rather than media accounts of G.W.’s years in office.
