Not in his brief remarks to the convention via satellite from the White House but -- First Lady Laura Bush who took a stab at defining the bush legacy. She brightly touted bush -- initiatives in education. Faith based social action and the war on aids that while controversial. Do represent efforts to change the status quo she was less persuasive crowing about. Bring freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan. That story is in quite fully written yet. And thus the verdict on bush is at nearly ready to be handed down either. It's easy to see why his approval ratings are so -- the heavy spending and cater miss foreign policy soaring gas prices and renewed inflation. The almost always wretched communication skills. For all that for his role in the botched response to Katrina and for failing to make progress on many of our problems bush deserves much of the heat he gets. But he has also become a lightning rod for a lot of over wrought that -- all. That says more about the narcissus and and immaturity of -- that it does about him. No Bush's white -- notwithstanding. We won't be able to honestly judge his legacy for quite awhile. But for now judging from the polls it'll take a lot of absence to make the voters' hearts grow far under."
