[Strapping Young Lad]

No... What I saw was the common man thrust into a position beyond his control and admitting to simply doing the best he could in that situation.

So Bush is the victim then, huh? He wasn't required to participate in those debates. He also wasn't required to send thousands of young men to possibly die in Iraq for a flimsy pseudo-agenda that is quickly falling from the status of "utterly unnecessary" to "globally catastrophic."

Why is it that people are so impressed with any sort of steadfastness exhibited by a politician? If I kept banging my head against a brick wall until my forehead collapsed in upon itself, should I receive praise from my peers because of my obvious talent to be relentless? No. Same applies to a president who can't see, or refuses to see, his mistakes and correct them.
