While former President George W. Bush has kept a low profile since vacating the Oval Office, many of his closest allies have been working hard to “set the record straight” about a presidency recently ranked by historians as one of the worst ever.
Last month, all 20 Texas Republicans in the U.S. House backed a bill to rename a federal courthouse in Midland, TX in Bush’s name. Now, their colleagues in the state legislature plan to further the cause with a resolution calling Bush a “dynamic Texan” and honoring him for his dedication to “the safety and prosperity of his fellow citizens”:
The Texas House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a resolution this week that honors former President George W. Bush.
“The Bush administration met numerous foreign policy challenges, while also making constructive progress in relations with India and sustaining a solid relationship with China,” the resolution reads, according to the Austin Statesman. It adds that Bush “lived each day with the safety and prosperity of his fellow citizens foremost in his mind; he took a principled stance on a wide range of issues of great importance to every American, and his tireless efforts will not soon be forgotten.”
There is more:
President Bush “will give his first post-presidency U.S. speech in Erie, Pa., on June 17 to the Manufacturer & Business Association, which serves companies in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.” Bush’s first speech will be March 17 in Calgary, Canada.
