Bush absolutely deserves to be included in such great company. However, to be fair (and unpopular), I'd have to insist on the addition of Bill Clinton.

After reviewing Obama's assent, it's hard to imagine where he hasn't sold out. Selling out is a prerequisite in mainstream politics. They will gladly eat their own if perceived not to be "on board". I understand the sentiment, but would seriously reconsider this rationality for endorsing Obama.
