January 2009: Charles Krauthammer turned out to be right!

This is a post from January 2009:

Charles Krauthammer is one of the nation's best political pundits.

His day job is over at The Washington Post, where he writes an extremely popular column. They usually reprinted at RCP. In fact, check out his archives!

In the evenings, Krauthammer is part of The Fox Report panel. He usually lines up often with Juan Williams and others.

One of my favorite articles was Historic Progress in Iraq!

A few years ago, Charles Krauthammer, who is a trained psychiatrist, penned Bush Derangement Syndrome:

"Bush Derangement Syndrome: the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency -- nay -- the very existence of George W. Bush."

Back in January 2009, Krauthammer commented on Pres. Bush's farewell press conference. He had a lot of interesting things to say.

Dr. Krauthammer concluded that history would treat Bush very well.

2009: A little thanks to Pres. Bush!

Jules Crittenden was the Boston Herald city editor and columnist. He has reported on politics, crime, science, maritime matters, foreign affairs and conflict in the United States, Asia, the Balkans and the Middle East.

After Obama defeated McCain, Crittenden looked at the world in 2008 and compared it with 2001.    

Without doubt, Crittenden was right that President Bush left us in a better position around the world than we were in when he came into office: 

"As the transition progresses and Barack Obama's inauguration draws closer, it's a good moment to mull the gifts George W. Bush has left for the incoming president.

Bush has made the world a better place, and if Obama wants to do the same, he will take the good things Bush has done and move forward with them."

We say thank you to President Bush for making all of those tough calls.
