Yes, I think Bush was a remarkably good president during the times that were among the most difficult for the country in all my years. And, yes, think Obama is the most incompetent president of my lifetime; after all, he lacked any meaningful accomplishment when he was elected and he still does. He has divided the country like no other, and undone decades of progress in the area of civil rights.
This is a good example of what I mean...if a democrat had been president during an attack that destroyed the twin towers, initiated two wars as a result, one of which based on distortion and exaggeration, mismanaged that war for three years, initiated a social program that went unpaid for, inherited a fed budget in virtual balance but doubled the national debt and left the country with the worst recession since 1929 and a financial collapse, you'd be finding every imaginable accusation and insult to lambaste that democrat. Instead you call the current president, a democrat who inherited this mess, incompetent, despite the fact that things have turned around...
There is a glaring absence of balance that doesn't square with thought and introspection.
