Laura Ingraham's "Ingraham Angle" on January 15th on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News was an analysis of President Bush's Farewell Address from the East Room of the White House.
Both Ingraham and Bill O'Reilly noted that President Bush - whether one agrees with him or not - is a patriot and did his best to keep the country safe, especially after September 11th. Both said that he and the administration didn't do an effective enough job in communicating what they were doing to protect the nation, thinking they were above the critics and polls and this hurt their cause - that this final farewell round of interviews and press conferences are too little, too late. They both feel history will judge him more kindly as far as keeping the country safe.
Ingraham pointed out, however, on the domestic front that the stock market is 2,000 points below what is was when he took office and that this will usher in an era of government regulation of the economy that will take us back to the 1970's - and will set the Republican Party back a lot.
Ingraham closed out the segment by putting in a plea for release of Border Agents Ramos and Compean who were sentenced unjustly to over a decade for shooting an illegal alien drug smuggler by Bush friend Johnny Sutton.
