Other than 2 justices, which we would have had anyway if the Gang of 14 had not stopped the Nuclear Option, Bush accomplished almost nothing in 2 years, and it is due to a combination of unfair attacks from his opponents inappropriately replied to, and idiotic sniping by disaffected GOP grandees insufficiently reined in. Whose fault is that? All of them, except for the Dems. We expect them to be unfair, liberal and wrong.
In a Republic, I believe it comes down to the voters.
It's not the President's fault that some milquetoast voters keep voting milquetoast Senators in. And it's not the President's fault that conservatives swallow whatever negative garbage the MSM feeds them. That's the fault of ignorant voters.
For example...Taliban resurgence in Afganistan? LOL. Just what Hillary and her Paula Zahn cohorts want you to believe.
Perhaps there is a certain amount of blame to be placed on at least ten percent of the Senate spending the last two years positioning themselves to run for President in 2008 instead of doing an honest job for the American people,
