Okay, you implied that Bush is being judged harshly and unfairly. I think most of the rest of us strongly disagree, and the main reason for that is the severity and volume of blunders and tragedies under Bush simply dwarfs the other presidents in our history. Nixon may have been involved in wire tapping, but he never suspended habeas corpus. JFK may have cheated to get elected invaded the bay of pigs, but he never wiretapped Americans or misled congress. FDR may have interned over a hundred thousand innocent Americans, but he never invaded without provocation.
This is about scale. Other presidents have made mistakes, but Bush has introduced a new level of folly and corruption to the office that is unprecedented. Again, he's not the first to screw up, but he's the first to screw up this big.
