\"King"But the true history of any administration is not going to be written until long after the person is gone. It’s just impossible for short-term history to accurately reflect what has taken place. Most historians, you know, probably had a political preference, and so their view isn’t exactly objective — most short-term historians. And it’s going to take a while for people to analyze mine or any other of my predecessors until down the road when they’re able to take — watch the long march of history and determine whether or not the decisions made during the eight years I was President have affected history in a positive way."<\/em><\/sup><\/div>\n

This is how Mr. Bush ended the Press Conference on December 20, 2006. Two things bother me about it:<\/p>\n

\n
Problem:<\/strong> First he says, "during the eight years I was President<\/strong>." That says to me he’s not sufficiently frightened about being impeached. <\/div>\n
Solution:<\/strong> Begin impeachment proceedings in January 2007.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Problem:<\/strong> The second thing is that it sounds like he’s prepping us for bombing Iran. He’s saying this obviously scripted piece for a reason, and I’m not excited about how I hear it. It almost sounds like he’s saying, "You ain’t seen nothing, yet." <\/div>\n
Solution:<\/strong> Begin impeachment proceedings in January 2007.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
