It's too early to judge the efficacy of the Obama administration but just for clarification at what point does Bush stop being an excuse?
I WILL MISS THE LEFT'S BUSH DERANGEMENT
I don't know if the lefts hatred of Bush is a brilliant strategy or not but a lot of us defended Bush because of how many insane things have been said about him. Our disagreements have gone unnoticed by the liberals posting here - I don't know if this is because they're fantasising we didn't or if our disagreements got lost in the noise of defending Bush from rediculous claims.
Though, to claim Rick is just jumping on this whole 'Bush wasn't all that awesome' bandwagon is ludicrous. To claim this you have to either be outright lying or have such little familiarity with this blog and are unashamed of your ignorance. Rick has unabashedly and consistently taken Bush to task on anything he found objectionable - and these are not rare posts.

Michael,
"Now my side is finally growing past that. We invite you to join us in a new era of civility. The Obama era. I just know you’ll enjoy it!"How magnanimous of you! Not that 'your side' has won 'you'll' stop throwing your tantrum. And you're side is growing past it! Amazing that this growth spurt is perfectly timed with winning! Just coincidence I'm sure. This 2-year-old attitude also reflects itself in your excuse "your side started it first!".
The right did hound Bill Clinton - I'll give you that - but it didn't resemble the lefts reaction to Bush. What's Clinton known for in conservative circles? Being a liar, adulterer and crook. What's Bush known for in liberal circles? Turning America into a fascist empire bent on serving the needs of Haliburton and other evil corporations, shredding the constitution and stripping people of their civil rights and usurping un-paralleled power for the executive.
I don't know which conservative blogs you frequent but the main ones have always had something critical to say of Bush. Sure we celebrated when he beat Kerry on '04 because we liked him better than Kerry. This should not be interpreted as universal praise for the Bush.

Reynolds,
Arrogant, incompetent and shallow?
This could also describe Obama.Righty blogs had plenty of criticism of Bush - but they also found issues on which they agreed with him. Lefty blogs spewed deranged rantings - I could claim that it's going to rain every day for 8 years and I'm going to be right on many days. It doesn't mean I was 'right'. Every squirrel finds a nut.
And you're deluding yourself if you think that conservatives tout Bush as a great leader. The only thing I think he did right was taking the fight to the terrorists and preventing another 9/11.

I didn't take Sara in VA's comments as not recognizing Obama's humanity but simply stating that his statements, past, present and future are dictated by political strategy. I don't know how Obama really feels about Bush but on the campaign trail he didn't show his 'current' nuanced position on Bush. During the campaign he was trying to rally the nutroots and other Democrats behind the clarion call of hatred towards Bush. Now that he's won he can take a more sensible approach towards Bush in an attempt to curry good feeling with the right. Lefties might not like his statement but they will still support Obama and most likely his policies. It's the right that Obama wants to win over now to some degree.
Don't despair Rick! You can sit back and enjoy the awesomeness that is Obama Derangement Syndrome (ODS). I'm not talking about conservatives treating Obama like liberals treated Bush (though some of this is occurring unfortunately but not nearly to the levels that it happened to Bush) - I'm talking about liberals absolute and adoring faith in Obama to do all sorts of miraculous things. The same syphilitic minds that saw Bush as the ultimate evil will see Obama as their Saviour. Obama can't help but disappoint.

TERRORIST JEWS HALT THEIR BABY KILLING TO ALLOW HUMANITARIAN RELIEF OF THEIR ENEMIES
Chuck,
"The media always seems to be controlled by someone in direct opposition to whatever blog I’m reading at the time. It’s probably one of the only real constants that exists on the interweb."
You say this a lot - then again media bias is trotted out a lot - even by me. You don't think the media is significantly biased?
It seems to me lefties have a problem with the media because it doesn't push a leftist agenda hard enough (e.g., impeach Chimpy Bushitler now!, aren't more knowledgeable than the CIA in knowing there were no weapons of mass destruction, and actually occasionally allow conservatives air time to spread their 'lies', etc). Righties usually complain about double standards and specific narratives and agendas that are left-leaning that get pushed by the media - basically that the media isn't objective enough.
