We remember Humphrey Bogart (1899-1957)

We remember Humphrey Bogart who was born in New York on this day in 1899.  He died in 1957.  

Over the years, Bogart became one of the legendary actors of Hollywood, from "Casablanca" and "The treasure of Sierra Madre".   

A great actor!

President Bush and historians

Historians will eventually look back at President Bush.  Frankly, we don't know what they will write.

Of course, I voted for Pres. Bush in 2000 and 2004.

Pres. Bush correctly identified an enemy and fought back.

In my view, Pres. Bush will be remembered as the Winston Churchill of our times, the man who told us what we did not want to hear!

Also, Pres. Bush shares a quality with our great presidents. He was not afraid to make unpopular decisions. This was a sharp contrast with Pres. Clinton who had polls for breakfast every morning.

You may recall that a liberal Democrat supported Pres. Bush's re-election in 2004. Take a look at Why President Bush is a Hero By Ed Koch:

"George Bush is a hero to me because he has courage. The President does what he believes to be in the best interest of the United States. He sticks with his beliefs, no matter how intense the criticism and invective that are directed against him every day."

Koch was right.  My guess is that historians will agree with Mr. Koch.
