Gershon Wolf Poet Clerihew

So Much Maligned

   George W. Bush, so much maligned
   for the economic collapse of 2008-09 

     Yet would that we today had his outstanding Secretaries of State
     Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice handling the M-E would be first-rate

Daniel Henry Rodgers May 20, 2024 at 4:36 AM Hello Gershon, what a thought-provoking and concise reflection on George W. Bush’s legacy. You skillfully highlight the value of his leadership team of the significant contributions of Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. Your words offer a compelling perspective on a complex period in history. - Blessings, Daniel
