I will thank him for that, but also I will blame his actions and inaction's for giving us Obama.
I really don't think that's the case, honestly.
The folks who flocked to Obama didn't do so because Bush gave us the Medicare prescription drug benefit, or No Child Left Behind, or because of Harriet Miers or for any of the reasons we are dissatisfied with him.
I don't blame GWB for Obama. And I wish other FReepers would stop.
Whatever anti-Bush sentiment played a part in Obama's popularity, it was of the media-created-myth variety. (Cheney is the devil incarnate, etc...), not because he wasn't conservative enough.
