Bad Rep? No Sweat

Pundits (who apparently have a stake in the issue) are already saying such things as Bush's reputation will improve once we get some historical distance. I mean, sheesh, the man was so unlucky. There was 9/11, Katrina, and the financial mess. Cut the guy some slack! Um, sorry. People aren't upset with the hurricane, but the aftermath. The policies of Bush and his cronies caused the financial mess. And the Iraq War was the wrong response to 9/11. But in the same way Reagan, who left with low approval, has had his reputation burnished by those who liked his policies there are those who want Bush's policies perpetuated. And many of those people control media outlets. That means we have to tell our own stories about our view of this guy.
