1776 and Bush

I just finished reading David McCullough's new book 1776 and near the end is the following:

He was not a brilliant strategist or tactician, not a gifted orator, not an
intellectual. As several crucial moments he had shown marked
indecisiveness. He had made serious mistakes in judgment. but
experience
had been his great teacher from boyhood and in this his greatest
test, he
learned steadily from experience. Above all, Washington
never forgot what
was at stake and he never gave up

Kinda like George W Bush!
