Bush is a leader alright, a leader of failures. Bush has never surrounded himself with thinkers, people who seek to hear from all sides of an issue. His little cabal of yes-men ideologues is a sham and is destroying our country.
And, it's funny how conservatives, during the time of Truman, labeled him a Communist dupe but now are quick to call Truman a great leader.
In 1946, Winston Churchill went to Westminster College with President Harry Truman to deliver his famous speech about the growing threat of Communism, in which he coined the phrase "Iron Curtain."
Speaking at the same venue, the vice president drew a parallel between the Cold War and the current war on terrorism -- and between Bush and the famed British wartime leader.
"To look back on the pivotal decisions of the 1940s and '50s is to be reminded that certain moments come along in history when the gravest of threats reveal themselves," Cheney said. "You and I are living in such a time."
The vice president also said that "in Truman and Churchill, we find models for the kind of leadership required to defend freedom in our time."
"Today, we have such a leader in President George W. Bush," he said.
