Not wanting to make this a Bush thread, but I don't know any Republicans who don't realize Bush made some mistakes domestically. The assumption by Democrats and others that respecting a man means you love everything he did is nuts. If nothing else, I respect him for putting up with constant hate, criticism, and insults from the left for over 8 years.
Back on the article:
Just in the first part, I am surprised she points out that Obama's missteps started on day 1. I certainly agree with that. IMO, Obama is trying to do too much, too fast, and spend way too much money. In the process he is showing his inexperience and lack of perspective outside of Chicago.
The other problem with Obama is that he is consistent in his inconsistency. The earliest to me was when he was claiming his Stimulus plan had NO earmarks. Even I realized that was BS as the whole plan was a collection of dream spending from all the Congressmen. It was one big earmark. Someone on the radio this morning commented that Obama said there were something like 30 million uninsured people in the US when just last week he said there were 47 million. There is also all the stuff about how he has responded to the criticisms of his "plan" saying stuff wasn't in it when his critics were quoting section and page numbers from the bills. Eventually, even the deaf and blind have to catch on that something isn't right. Honestly, I don't know if you can lay all that on Obama or a bunch of incompetent speech writers. Either way, it goes back to him. The sad thing is that he had similar issues all through the election and no one called him on it then.
