I wish you people could distinguish between disaproval of policy and the person.
ALL my anger at Bush is directed at his policy choices and the results. I have said time and time again that I think him a good man who meant well. There is a charm to his speechifying and awkward moments. He always handled them with a sense of humor and humility. However, it boils down to do we care about effort or results?
Obama, to me, is, flat out, a socialist and I think that is HORRIBLE for America but, I've never had to wonder about him. Bush and the whole compassionate conservative thing, I see his policies and results as just using the right for his, I think, globalist views which is no different than socialism.
