I refuse to canonize GHW Bush. He was responsible for a lot of pain and suffering. By comparison to his son and the current Resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he was better. But the caravans out of Central America, that was partially his doing. #ProxyWarInCentralAmerica
He campaigned against Ronald Reagan, calling his "free-market" fundamentalism "Voodoo Economics." (it's not truly free-market but that's a tale for another day) And yet, when he became Reagan's running mate, he stopped his reality-based critique of Reaganomics.
He was also head of the CIA at a time when the CIA was very busy interfering in the affairs of many sovereign nations, both in and out of the Imperium first claimed by President Monroe in the Doctrine named after him. He had no problem voiding elections with assassination.
