"Bush's rhetoric was typically less empty than Obama's"

Nonsense. Bush's rhetoric was always empty. Not the saber rattling against NK and Iran. What did he actually do for all the hot air? Nothing. Obama has a much better track record in that respect. Albeit his follow through hasn't been much, but he has only been in office a short time.

"As for Ahmadinejad, we have no way of knowing if he really won because of the extensive fraud in the elections."

I don't remember fraud allegations during the 2004 election. Can you provide links? Besides, the polls started to trend his way immediately upon the ill-advised remarks by Bush. Granted, it isn't a slam-dunk, but such things never are 100% certain. Based on the cause and effect, you'd have to be blindly partisan to assume anything else.
