But it will be what is accomplished that will be what is important and the law of unintended consequences will be a decisive factor here as well. After all, look what Obama has done for gun sales. That certainly was not predicted by proponents of gun control. It will be interesting to follow the Obama administration through history and it seems like he is able to certainly organize, think and deliver. I will be surprised if we look back on the Bush administration 50 years from now with any sort of fondness or admiration.
