Bush Legacy Tour

MADISON, WI- I met a woman at our Madison event who was very upset about the bus. She did not actually go through the bus to see the exhibits but found the very idea that we did not have anything positive to say about the President off-putting. She said that, “you can always find something nice to say about someone.”

 I think she is probably right. I explained to her that the bus is by no means a personal attack on the President, and in fact one of the main goals of the tour is to hold accountable Bush’s allies in Congress that helped get us in this mess. (I think I now utter the phrase, “He didn’t do it alone” in my sleep after explaining the goal of the tour fifty times a day.) Despite this explanation she was still upset, not because she supports the President’s policies but because we did not say anything nice about the President. That’s why I need your help. I do get asked by the press from time to time about one good thing that the President has done. I really try to answer this question without sarcasm but I have a difficult time. Please share your comments below about one nice thing we can say about the President or his policies so that the next time I meet a “glass half full” person I will be ready!
