I guess you must have a reason for blaming only Bush, but I can't think what it is.

People make mistakes. Sometimes its not your fault. Sometimes the people you trust and put in place screw up. Sometimes it is just bad luck. Sometimes there are people that just want you to screw up an make up stories that just want to make you look bad. Life is complicated.

Things get really complicated when the top guy is not prepared for the job. When the top guy is lazy and when push comes to shove plays with the truth. When the top guy has weak character and has personal issues and never get treated for it and goes into denial - things can get pretty nasty for anybody in any ordinary job - but when it is the President of the United States - things screw up on an order of magnitude unprecedented in the history of the world.

This is because the Presidency is such a revered position the President gets a lot of the benefit of the doubt. There are a lot of people that want to protect the Presidency where they would even give up their own life to protect the Presidency.

Unfortunately, we sometimes elect the wrong person. The framers of the Constitution saw this coming and went to a great deal of trouble to protect us against it.

You are some of the few people left that do not understand that this President is the wrong man for this job. He is doing great harm to our country and people like you still try to protect him. You go to your own denial status to maintain and excuse things as they go from bad to worse.

You are not a bad person, but your judgment is terrible.
