President Bush, your failure to defend yourself and your administration head on against raving attacks by a complicit press, led that press and its allies in the DNC to paint you with a brush, particularly regarding the war, that demanded a defense. That was you failing IMHO on that front.

That coupled with your brand of compassionate conservatism that led to more social spending and an ill-begotten desire to bestow legality on illegal aliens led to the results we witnessed last month.

Many, many Americans were mesmerized by a rock star blitz, others bought a mantra of change, any change, and many others want the marxist ideology that Obama represents.

We now are faced with turning things around, and if we stick to true conservative principle, we can get large numbers of those first two groups back as Obama proceeds to dismantle our constitutional Republic.

Bingo! GWB's worst failing was to allow his office, the American Presidency, to become a leaderless, spineless, rudderless laughingstock in the eyes of the public.

A lot of Bushbots, including those whose views I genuinely respect, are of the belief that he had to nobly sacrifice his popularity to conduct the war, but I just don't buy it. I cannot attribute to conspiracy what can very simply be explained by incompetence.

I judge the next worst thing about GWB's Presidency to be the fact that his agenda has been successfully equated with "conservatism" by the media. With a very few exceptions, his actions were far from conservative.
