Re: Mr. President can you define Legacy?
I'm not clear on whether to use comments to reply, or just to add another post. Let me know if anyone has strong feelings on this matter.

Bush wasn't saying he'd accomplished his goals yet, or that anyone thought so yet. That's why it's called a legacy, that's why he said in 50 years he hopes people see things that way.

Anyway, his quote just sounds like fluff. The president--the federal government altogether--don't have much control over education policy, nor do they control whether rural rubes love urban elites. With all the legitimate opportunities to bash Bush, is it necessary to invent others?
