His, however, is a cautionary tale for Obama as well. If you think for a second that the people and news media won’t turn on him and savage him without surcease, well, look at how the people and media lionized Bush in 2000. See any similarities? They’re painfully obvious.[/quote]
Uhhh, no. It was obvious even back in 2000 that Bush was a bumbling idiot. I actually voted for him back then even though I knew he was a retard. I figured that the fact he was Republican (and presumably fiscally conservative) would trump his mental deficiencies. Boy was I wrong (on both counts).
By 2004, I knew Bush was a mistake and would have voted for Kerry if he had come out against the Iraq War. Kerry didn’t, so I didn’t vote in 2004.
Obama on the other hand is clearly 10x smarter than Bush and way more politically savvy. Bush was able to fool people for a while with his good ol’ boy act. When that wore off, he was able to play ‘divisive’ politics with the Iraq War. But other than that he was politically and mentally inept.
Obama just amazes me. From his speeches to his actions to the way he plays politics. He is incredibly gifted. I never attributed any of these characteristics to Bush because it was obvious from the beginning that Bush had none of them.
Bush was just lucky enough to be the Republican presidential candidate at a time when Americans could afford to punish Democrats just because the Democratic president had gotten a blowjob in the White House. Today, Obama could star in a porn where he bangs the Virgin Mary herself and Americans wouldn’t give a rat’s so long as he turns the economy around and keeps us safe.
Anyway, if you can’t see the stunning differences between Obama and Bush all I can figure is that you must be willfully blind.
