When George Bush left the presidency on January 20th, many Americans were keen to turn the page. They have warmly welcomed a new cast of characters, from Barack and Michelle down to Bo the Portuguese water dog. But some members of the Bush crew are much in the news. Karl Rove, an influential adviser, is penning weekly editorials and has been scrapping with JoeBiden, the vice president. Dick Cheney has been on television growling about Mr. Obama’s approach to national security. In Spain, a court is deciding whether Alberto Gonzales, the former attorney-general, and five other administration officials can be accused of torture.
Mr. Bush himself has mostly kept a low profile since returning to Texas. He and Laura settled into their new house, in a select part of Dallas. He threw the first ball at a Texas Rangers baseball game and visited a hardware shop. He has been jogging and riding his bicycle. He has given one speech, in Canada, at which he declined to criticize the new president. "He deserves my silence," said Mr. Bush.
But Mr. Bush will not be silent for ever. He has started to write his memoirs, which will skip the usual format and be organized around a series of 12 momentous decisions. The format makes sense, given Mr. Bush’s view of history and his role in it.I’m the decider," he said in 2006, defending his decision to keep Donald Rumsfeld as defense secretary. It was one of his least popular decisions, and Mr. Bush’s many critics thought it was a bull-headed thing to say. But perhaps it was simply an existential comment. The president is the decider. There is no getting round that.
The "decider" idea will extend to the George W. Bush Presidential Centre, to be housed at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. The centre will include a policy institute as well as the usual library and museum. On April 14th Mr. Bush gathered about 20 of his old employees in Dallas, including the former secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, and a former speechwriter, Michael Gerson, to work out strategy.
The policy institute will be unashamedly ideological. The museum, like the memoirs, will be organized around a series of decisions. The list has not been finalized, though some are obvious choices, such as the decisions to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. Mark Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Foundation, thinks that Mr. Bush’s 2007 decision to pursue immigration reform should make the cut. The effort failed in the Senate, but failure is part of any human story. That goes for presidents, too. "Sometimes they succeed, and sometimes they don’t, but the journey continues," says Mr. Langdale.
What does Mark Langdale think of Bush’s decision to pursue immigration reform?
选项
A、It brought negative influence to the Bush administration.
B、It should be one of the decisions included in the museum.
C、It should be regarded as part of the human history.
D、It was a failure like the decisions to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。根据Mark langdate定位文章末段,其中提到马克.兰代尔认为2007年布什总统寻求移民政策改革,这一决定也应该入围这张清单,B项正确。
