Oh please. If President Bush walked across Lake Ponchatrain, all his critics would have said was, "You see, he can't swim."
“But the act of leadership required he returned to his office. Had he done so, the leftwingers wouldn’t have had a golden opportunity to slam him for months afterwards. It was a political misjudgement. “

No doubt some would, Bush Derangement Syndrome being what it clearly is.
