AMEN!
I disagreed mightily with GWB on several things (No Child Left Behind, “Bi-partisanship”, treatment of Scooter Libby, just to name a few)
But what galls me most is his unwillingness to stick up for himself and to let the liberals set the tone and define the rules of discourse. I understand part of that was his gentlemanly personality, and part was his belief that doing so would undermine the office of the Presidency, but I wish he had come out swinging. He was tough enough to do it, why he just surrendered that ground to liberals just angered me.
But all in all, I did feel like adults were in charge during that eight years, even with the policies I disagreed with.
Now, with this administration, not so much.
