Just watched George Bush's interview with Matt Lauer. I don't agree with everything he did as president and I can certainly understand people of a different political persuasion critiquing his actions from their perspective on the role of government and the presidency, but in listening to this man speak, I'm really perplexed as to how people have painted him as some sort of ignorant cowboy figure.
He's circumspect, articulate (yes, it's true) and provides cogent explanations for his actions. He takes responsibility and exhibits a fair amount of humility for a man who once held the most powerful office in the world. For the people who disagree with what he did in office, I urge you for your own arguments' sake to focus your criticism on those decisions with which you disagree and eschew the ad hominem attacks that he's a fool. Because he's not and you discredit yourselves by taking that route.
