President Bush on the USS Abraham Lincoln

Yeah, we’ve had better leaders. Their names were Washington and Lincoln. And maybe Roosevelt. I had a long flight today and bought the second volume of Edmund Morris’s biography of Theodore Roosevelt. So far, so good. But George W. rates very near the top, in my opinion. The ultimate test, I guess, will be what he does about Saudi Arabia–a test no postwar leader has chosen to tackle.
