Real Irony!

There are so many negative points to be made of Bush that it is refreshing to share the delightful irony of the positive point made by Spain's Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

Roger Cohen reports that Zapatero related the general conversation with Bush regarding his decision to pull his troops out of Iraq. As he said, the conversation was "unforgettable"!

But, then, he added the positive dimension of Bush's impact on Spain!

Zapatero said that, nonetheless, he had a “certain consideration” for Bush, because “I recognize that my electoral success has been influenced by his governing style.” In other words, Bush was so unpopular in Spain that he helped Zapatero win in 2004 and 2008.


Just think, we may now attribute the success of Obama not only because of his ability but he contrasts so favorably with Bush!
