Bush and McCain and Unstoppable Combination
I have been feeling a little sad and a little wistful as I begin to contemplate the end of the Bush Presidency. It has been an amazing time that people will grow more and more nostalgic for as the months and years roll on. His surehanded and steady leadership has stewarded us through a variety of national crises.
I remember when Vladimir Putin and Bush first met. Together they formed a friendship that has helped keep US and Russia on the same page working together for a better world. When Bush first met Putin he said:
“I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue.
“I was able to get a sense of his soul.
“He’s a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country and I appreciate very much the frank dialogue and that’s the beginning of a very constructive relationship.”
And of course Putin saw Bush as a fellow statesman and kindred spirit. Now, Bush is about to be unceremoniously tossed aside after 8 years of service. Putin on the other hand was given the position of Prime Minister where he can use his experience to help guide Russia. It occurs to me that McCain could do something similiar by nominated Bush as his Vice-President. Obviously, if anything happenned to McCain, Bush would not become President, but as Vice-President he would be in a great position to help and advise and also to meet with foreign leaders and use his connections to help advance American foreign policy aims. I am now 110% sure that McCain will be the next President so let’s get moving on this.
