Bush the Healer

Thinking about President Bush as he leaves office this week, I saw this at The Thinklings

Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist opines on why Bush will be remembered as a healer. Here's a taste:

"A legacy of President George W. Bush will be that he saved 10 million lives around the world.

His critics ignore it, but name another president about whom one can say that with such certainty. It is what historians will say a decade from now looking back. Not bad for a president who leaves office with the lowest approval rating in recent memory.

The bottom line is: George Bush is a healer."

The Anchoress also quotes Frist. I agree with his assessment, and think that, once enough time has passed, the verdict of history will also agree.
