I suppose the bigger story would obviously be current events. But we should keep them in context to past events and use caution when demonizing one man and ignoring the faults of another. Even then to call bush a criminal is wrong, imo. I have faith in the man and believe his heart is in the right place and, for the most part, makes the right decisions. he is not error free, I don't know of any person or president that ever was, but because he may or may not have executed poor judgement, does this make him part of a criminal conspiracy? I don't think so. The man appointed brown to head FEMA, its hard to say how much of what happened with the katrina response can be contributed directly to that (hell, blanco won't answer questions about katrina and asked the senate not to question her on it), and even still is that worth losing faith in the man and calling for impeachment? I don't think so either. Bush is always going to have detractors and people looking for anything they can to make him out to be a criminal. That doesn't mean he is.
