I guess I don't need to point out your glowing assessment of Mr Bush's policies somehow don't seem so obvious to me. Or to others. I might be wiling to concede sheer historical luck might have had something to do with it, but any attribution of it to GWB's intellect or management cannot survive just a few moments of the man speaking. To put it mildly, he's dumber than a sack full of doorknobs.

All the brains in that administration were concentrated in Cheny, Rumsfeld and Rove, the Troika from Hell, and any mental acuity they might have had was simply overwhelmed by their intrinsically corrupt ideology and total lack of scruples.

"Obama's Surge" might be a bit of a stretch. But how does the "Pelosi Surge" grab you"?

Maybe there is a god, after all.
