Bush is not in contempt of Congress, he has not obstructed justice, so what are his crimes?
Approval ratings are different than what people will perceive as partisan. Approval ratings also change based on events. Right now Democrats have Bush were they want him, if they make him out to be a victim or whatever, the mood of the nation could change fast. I think the rhetoric being used is better than Democrats actually doing something from a political point of view.
I am betting things won't change much under the next Democratic Party administration. Just my opinion. People can always find some "wrong" with any administration and write books about it. Heck, people can already write books about Obama's "wrongs" and he hasn't taken the oath of office yet. Hannity on Fox has already made a cottage industry on Obama's "wrongs", just wait until he J-walks - impeachment talk will follow shortly thereafter.
I just think it is time for both sides to give it a rest.

Yeah, Ford once stated impeachable offenses are "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history."
That was in 1970, years before being a member of the E. branch.
