I think the problem with Bush is the same that plagued Ulysses S. Grant during his presidency (....no, not alcoholism).
Bush and Grant both show undying loyalty to friends and work to place them in jobs they, as president, felt their friends deserved. Unfortunately, those friends are very corrupt and have used these men's kindness and loyalties to their advantage.
So while Bush is thinking he is helping friends and I truly believe he feels these friends are competent and can do the job, these friends have taken advantage of him and his blind loyalty to them.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
