Right now everyone hates Bush. I think 15-20 yrs maybe longer it will come out that he wasn’t a bad guy just a crappy hand he was dealt.

I agree. Bush was definitely dealt a tough hand, although I don’t think he played it as well as someone more committed to small government would have played it domestically. On the foreign front, I wish he wouldn’t keep saying “Islam’s a religion of peace”.

There are little posters of Obama all around downtown Chicago saying, “Obama sides with the Congress hotel workers”, just like on this site

I guess this kind of small-bore community agitating is some people’s idea of the Presidency, but it definitely seems beneath the dignity of the office. Every minute Obama spends on that picket line is one less minute doing entitlement reform, which is really the most crucial issue of the day, not whether some hotel cook gets $9/hour or $10/hour.

IBD, as usual, makes the distinctions that seem to go over others’ heads.
