Do any of you Monday Morning Quarterbacks think that you could have done any better?
For good, or bad, he stepped up to the plate. What in the hell more can you expect from anyone?

My signature says it all. George W. Bush used our constitution as toilet paper. Patriot Act and its consequences and ramifications, anyone? How about equating dissent with being unpatriotic? (Obama learned and implemented that one early) A foreign policy of "You're either with us or against us"? Lack of meaningful response to Hurricane Katrina? NSA surveillance without warrants? Let's not forget the totally unnecessary war in Iraq. And to finish things off, an unhealthy reliance on SOBs like Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.
Do I think I could have done better? Damn straight. A grade-schooler could have done better. "Is our children learning?"
For bad, he stepped up to the plate and struck out.
What could I expect from a president? Integrity. Truth. Intelligence. Curiosity. Those would be good for a start. I saw no evidence of those qualities in eight years.
George W. Bush was a national embarrassment. I am absolutely ashamed that this joker got to call himself "President" and represented our once-great country as its "leader". If I had my way, Bush, Cheney, and Rove would be in prison cells for the rest of their days.
In fact, I blame Shrub for Obama being in the White House today! Yes! If Bush had not royally screwed things up as badly as he did, the Republicans would have had at least a half a chance to win the presidency in 2008. Thanks to him, people were so turned off by Republicans of any ilk that it would not have mattered who they put up against Obama.
