I can't speak for other people, but I'm not justifying any actions. I'm
making a direct comparison. At the end of 8 (I'm hopeful) years, we can
compare the records more completely. For now, there are some obvious
comparisons possible.

Call it what you will. It is what it is.

Give me a break.


And, yet again, I have to disagree. No one is claiming that because Bush
screwed up, Obama's mistakes are ok.

Horse manure! That's the biggest laugh I've had in a month.

Are you claiming that no comparisons are valid? Isn't that the basis for a
program (a Bush program) called No Child Left Behind? Comparisons are
benchmarks. They are totally valid. The issue is making justifiable
comparisons.
