Name something the democrats did to sweep Dubya under the rug.
"Now, in the past, President Bush has said it's impossible to pass judgment on his presidency while he's still alive. So maybe this is a little bit premature. But even now, there are certain things that we know for certain.
We know about the son who was raised by two strong, loving parents in Midland, famously inheriting, as he says, 'my daddy's eyes and my mother's mouth.' (Laughter.) The young boy who once came home after a trip to a museum and proudly presented his horrified mother with a small dinosaur tailbone he had smuggled home in his pocket. (Laughter.) I'll bet that went over great with Barbara.
We know about the young man who met the love of his life at a dinner party, ditching his plans to go to bed early and instead talking with the brilliant and charming Laura Welch late into the night.
We know about the father who raised two remarkable, caring, beautiful daughters, even after they tried to discourage him from running for president, saying, 'Dad, you're not as cool as you think you are.' (Laughter.) Mr. President, I can relate. (Laughter.) And now we see President Bush the grandfather, just beginning to spoil his brand-new granddaughter."
War criminal who should be hung to death at The Hague? Nope; funny old well meaning caring family man who does lovely paintings.
Jesus Christ, it's worse than I expected and I expected to be awful
Who is that quote by? Bush?
Why would Bush talk about himself in the 3rd person?
That’s Obama gushing over Bush.

It had no attribution, and it was referencing something bush said. I was asking for clarification.
You should go back to quokk, where they ban people for using the word “poop”
It’s called a context clue, but if “poop” is the upper limit of your communication skills I might have been assuming too much.
Okay, PTB
Reauthorizing the Patriot Act
Non specific. Although I do agree that’s a bad thing.
