Presidente G. Busch

We have now left Bolivia for Peru, but while in La Paz, I noticed a building and an avenue named after a Presidente Busch. I had to check this one out.

Well, if you read this article about President Germán Busch, you might see some similarities with another President G. Bush.

A few highlights:

"Known for his torrid, fearless, and reckless temperament"

"Always tempestuous and volatile, Busch was filled with grand ideas that he seemed unable to bring to fruition"

"Later still, he tired of the "political game" and, totally untrained in the art of compromise, declared himself Dictator"

"Bogged down for most of his presidency in the procedural aspects of enacting a new political framework ... he was not able to pass many meanigful reforms"
