George Bush did rather well. Obama completely sucked.

I would disagree with half of that. Bush got us into two wars without clear goals or a realistic view of what to do and what he wanted to accomplish. Obama took a bad situation and made it a whole lot worse worse.

George Bush responded to our World Trade centers being destroyed by Muslim extremists.

I suppose you would have a summit with John Kerry in Switzerland to understand better why God and Satan don’t get along.

Bush got hit with 9/11 and had to respond with almost no intell about the why

The American people wanted to make glass out of the middle east and Bush wisely (or perhaps not) decided against that

I really think he thought a strategy would develop but it never did

Bush was caught between a rock and a hard place and did as well as a sophomore could do

Reagan might not have done much different, but maybe could have codged together a better intel network/coalition

"President Bush: Thank you all. I want you all to know -- it [bullhorn] can't go any louder -- I want you all to know that American today, American today is on bended knee, in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn. The nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens

Rescue Worker: I can't hear you!

President Bush: I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!

You're right. Bush was, and is, a good man. But if you're going to fight a war, you had better fight it to win. That's one sad lesson of Vietnam, a lesson Bush ignored.

And the mistakes made by L. Paul Bremer, the Iraq Coalition Provisional Authority chief, were appalling, simply appalling. Bush appointed that man.
