Try living without the qualifiers.

Bush did the best he could given the realities he faced, and his best was so much better than a whole bunch of others that wanted the job.

Oh knock it off, I loved the guy and I even got an opportunity to shake his hand in 2001, before 911.

I seldom put up qualifiers, but I’m critical of anyone in power for one thing or another. Beside, I sometimes use them to help keep the flies off of me. LOL

Bravo!! Wholeheartedly agree with that statement. People are forgetting the realities that President Bush faced daily.
