Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, a possible GOP presidential candidate, defends President Bush on The Brody File. I spoke one on one with Pawlenty at the CPAC event. Remember, Mitt Romney also praised President Bush during CPAC. Pawlenty agrees with Romney.
Governor Tim Pawlenty: “I absolutely agree with those comments. (Mitt Romney’s comments praising President Bush) I think President Bush was a leader with strong convictions and he proposed big changes in entitlement programs and domestic programs. Unfortunately the Congress, including for a period of time the Republican Congress didn’t adopt those approaches. He’s also of course going to be defined by Iraq and the war on terror. I think he’s going to go down as a strong leader in history for that.”
“I think President Bush will be remembered much more fondly than he was at the end of his administration.”
