For Bush Hater's Everywhere

This is your chance and then can we put it to bed. I am no apologist for the present President. In fact, I have a lot of problems with some ot the things he did, but I don't have a visceral hatred of the man. Almost every thread someone throws in some kind of statement regarding the President which has little, if anything, to do with the subject being discussed.

I'd also like to point out that not being an Obama supporter doesn't make one a Bush lover. Conversely, agreeing with Bush on one subject doesn't imply, or require, that I support him in another. I would further point out that there were, and are, other positions of power in Washington. In fact, I wonder why it is that the Congress continuously hides behind the President whenever any type of crisis comes along. It is the Congress who is supposed to legislate. Believe it or not, it is the Congress who is supposed to set policy. Bush could not, and did not, do what he did alone. The Patriot Act was passed by Congress. I am not here to defend Bush, but the fact that my tomatoes didn't come in as well this year is not his fault.
