It's a fallacy. Actually, it's an intellectual fraud, but I'm a nice guy, so I won't point that out. ;) I don't think I ever had any big hopes for Bush II, so I can't really be disappointed, either. But for somebody to rush to the defense of Bush, Jr., with a "well, at least he's better than the prior officeholder", that's what I would call damning with faint praise.

Bush II is doing exactly what Clintoon did.
Clinton turned the country left in small steps over several years. He did some things that the left totally dispised but they went along for the cause because they knew the overall plan would work - and it did!
Bush is doing just the opposite !

Sure - now ask me how he's better than the last guy, and I'll be happy to give you a list. I figured that most folks would know for themselves what all he's done better than the last guy, and that the specifics would go without saying. Obviously, I was wrong to assume that - I'm not necessarily talking about you, but for God's sake, let's give credit where it's due.

Two steps forward and one step back is progress. You know that right?
