At the end od the day, IMO, USA politics nowadays seems to be all about kickbacks, legal wranglings, self interest and the imposition of fear.
The vast majority of politicians the world over are making the most of their situations, in one way or another.
Clinton, though obviously flawed, at least achieved some good during his term of office, and appeared to be trying to do right by the people.
i.e. He had some redeeming features.
I have yet to see this with Bush. Quite the reverse, in fact. Maybe it is this obvious lack of guidance, vision, compassion and overall ability from him that makes people jump for joy so reasily when his grubby little world gets the benefit of some exposure.
Bush does not have a single redeeming feature, as far as I am concerned, apart from the fact that he is not allowed to continue in office at the end of this tenure.
Stumble It!
