I think it's some of you who are distorting the facts. Bush started a war after being dishonest to…Read More the United Nations. He then ignored the constitution and Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners. This isn't part of the American value system. This isn't the example we should be setting for the world. These were important decisions and George Bush was obviously part of these decisions. Yes some things have gone wrong in the Obama Administration, but they were more minor, and clearly Obama would not have been part of those decisions. Do you really think Obama made the decision of who should be scrutinized when applying for tax exempt status? Of course not. Twist all you want, no matter, history will get it right. And when it comes to putting party before country, nice try, but I'm a republican - I just happen to be an honest republican.

It's just all the anti bush people (justified on many levels) are incapable of objectivity --and…Read More able to see the many flaws of obama. The man has desecrated and disrespected the Constitution---a fact that would have enraged the left had Bush done it. The point is that if bias is something the left abhors, then dont act in such a biased way towards the ACTIONS of men in the oval office. If you consider poor treatment of suspected terrorists to tarnish the reputation of the United States, then please dont quietly accept the killing of Americans who the CIA suspect are terrorists; dont applaud the awesome way he directed the operation of Navy Seal Team Six and the killing of Osama bin Laden but excuse his total absence when our Ambassador in Libya is killed. They remove his involvement in anything that doesnt go well. It's all a show. And all those smart people on the left---so CAPABLE of making assessments of Bush are now incapable of analyzing Obama? No--it's bias. It's intellectual dishonesty. Hold this guy accountable. Dont put party before country.
