When he left the White House in January 2009 after two tumultuous 
terms, President George W. Bush -- the only man to attain the 
presidency by virtue of a Supreme Court ruling and only the second 
son of a president to also serve as president -- was nursing 
an approval rating around 30 percent.Four years later, however, public opinion 
has turned slowly but steadily in the former presidents direction. A nationwide 
Fox News poll conducted earlier this week now finds registered voters evenly 
split in their assessments of the 43rd president -- a verdict roughly 
equal to the esteem in which they hold his successor, President Obama.As 
Bush prepares to attend the dedication of his presidential library in Dallas, 
Texas, on Thursday, his increasing approval generally mirrors the trend 
for other former presidents, but Bush's turnaround is remarkable, given 
how low the numbers were when he left office. At his lowest, 
amid the dark days of the financial collapse in October 2008, only 
23 percent rated Bush positively.Throughout President Obamas first term 
-- when the incumbent relentlessly blamed his predecessor for the state 
of the economy and a host of national security problems -- Bush, 
aside from promoting his 2010 memoir and giving a small number of 
paid speeches, mostly remained silent. This was in keeping with the practice 
of his father, George H.W. Bush, of never criticizing his successor, and 
it may partially explain the rise in esteem for th
ing him to a 
promise to help him."In January of 2005, there was a peace treaty 
between North and South Sudan that ended a war," Carter said. "George 
W. Bush is responsible for that."The ceremony, at Southern Methodist University, 
drew 10,000. The men spoke from a stage flanked by American flags 
in front of the entrance to the library. The center on the 
campus of Southern Methodist University includes the presidential library 
and museum along with the 43rd president's policy institute. The center 
opens to the public May 1.Bush addressed his vice president, Dick Cheney, 
who was in attendance, saying he was "proud to call you friend." 
Bush said the guiding principle of his two terms in office was 
expanding freedom throughout the world.When people come to the library and 
research Bush's administration, "Theyre going to find out we stayed true 
to our convictions," he said. That we expanded freedom at home by 
raising standards at school and lowering taxes for everybody, that we liberated 
nations from dictatorship and freed people from AIDS. And that when freedom 
came under attack, we made the tough decisions required to make the 
American people safe.
