George H.W. Bush: Underrated president?

The nomination that garnered the most “votes” came from Andrew Miller of Washington, D.C. Read his comment after the jump.

GEORGE H.W. BUSH.: The country owes 41 a collective apology for voting him out of office. Our deficit ballooned under Ronald Reagan, and Bush was left holding the bag. Conservative purists butchered him when he tried to get the country’s finances under control. Bush also wisely understood what driving to Baghdad in 1991 would have meant—a long, bloody quagmire.

Don’t believe me? Ask Bill Clinton, because he agrees.
