Bush admitted mistakes only after he was off the clock. That emperor had no clothes.

What was the one thing Bush did right or try to do right?

Its entirely possible Obama falls flat on his face and wrecks everything. Keep it mind we can have more than one major-league goofball. I really don't understand the debate based on some premise that Bush or Obama has to be the worse. Bush was a mess and Obama may be a mess also. But Bush was indeed a mess.

Not perfect but better than Bush. Bush eroded personal liberties by taking advantage of fear. This was on-going. That was pure manipulation. Obama has a tough job and is working on it. Eleven months into it is a little early to tell how he will end up.

We slowly had the bar lowered over 8 years. I think that's how we came to accept certain things. I don't think Obama was ever compared to perfection, he was compared to Bush.

Lets get this thread back on track!

It must be uncomfortable to look closely at Bush. It causes some sort of comparison reflex. False belief in the presence of clear facts is a delusion. Bush & Co were bad news. This is not diluted by a bow or the number of Chinese-made US flags that WalMart sells. Bush has a long history of faking it and having someome absorb his consequences.

Here we go again... Bush, a native born son, did what he thought was best for America...which was not apologizing to the petty despots and terrorists of the world for America's greatness. Did I mention the bowing thing?

I hear Bush, I think Peter Principle
I hear native-born son, I think Connecticut
I hear best for America, I think best for Haliburton
I hear bowing, I think distraction.

Maybe if he was in office another term he could finish something.
