And it happened on GWB’s watch. Yeah, Clinton could have taken out OBL, but the man in the seat at the time is the one with whom the buck stops, and GWB was as epic a failure as anyone before him. Bastard held hands with Saudis (who made up almost all of the hijackers) and got us into wars with folks who DIDN’T attack us.

Yep. Back in 2000 the Democrats told us that George W. Bush was a doofus who should be kept far away from the White House. It turns out that the Democrats were right.
So was Gore a better choice? That (ugly) question would lead to some really spirited discussion here! Gore would have appointed terrible judges. And he would have busted the budget even more than W did.
But on the other hand, I doubt that Gore would have invaded Iraq. And without a President Bush there probably never would have been a President Obama.
