Bush got 100x more stick than Obama. THere is only 1 reason why Obama is being attacked and that is that the love-in and "he is a saviour" syndrome has wore off to reveal that he is just plain ordinary man who says a lot but is just another politician., People who voted for him because he is a good speaker deserve what they get
I remember when he came to office and I was on BBC HYS, everyone there saying what a great leader he was when he hadn't even been in charge of a bathtub. The prediction by a few of us was that he would go down like a lead balloon the minute the rhetoric and fairy tale story got old. Bush might have been hated and so was Blair at the end, but at least they were hated because they stuck to their guns and weren't afraid of making tough decisions. It is easy to sit back and apologise for everything, and play the appeasement game. One wonders whY the legacy of Neville Chamberlain is not better remembered.
