COLUMBUS, Ohio -- As President-Elect Barack Obama will have the "elect" dropped from his title, the current President will have the word "current" dropped from his on Tuesday.
NBC 4's Marcus Thorpe hit the streets Monday to talk with some of the people who helped get President George W. Bush elected twice.
Many said they are disappointed in the job the President did with the economy, the war, and the overall scope of the job. But some were quick to defend his heart, and his response to the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.
The owner of Café Napolitana in downtown Columbus said the President Bush-led economy hasn't been terrible, but the real proof will be months from now when the economy either bounces back or falls flat.
Nearly every person who spoke with NBC 4 said there have been missteps in the Bush presidency, but they believe his heart was in the right place, even if his decisions didn't always turn out to be right or well received.
