Why is it axiomatic among the media elite that Bush is both universally reviled and summarily dismissed as a failed president? I, like millions of us, find inspiration in his faith, in his resolve and in his leadership. I feel that there is a growing disconnect between the drive-bys and the real America. That is why they are so shocked at the recent performance by Obama in the polls.

Because they HATE him!

I know you knew that ;)

I think it's a combination of wishful thinking, and the fact that they don't personally hang around with people who would like President Bush.

I find myself extremely disappointed in his communication skills, but I also respect his ability to focus on the bigger picture, and I think History will be very kind to his watch.
