I can't speak for other people, but I'm not justifying any actions. I'm
making a direct comparison. At the end of 8 (I'm hopeful) years, we can
compare the records more completely. For now, there are some obvious
comparisons possible.
Call it what you will. It is what it is.

"Bush screwed up, therefore Obama's screwups are OK."

Give me a break.


And, yet again, I have to disagree. No one is claiming that because Bush
screwed up, Obama's mistakes are ok.

Are you claiming that no comparisons are valid? Isn't that the basis for a
program (a Bush program) called No Child Left Behind? Comparisons are
benchmarks. They are totally valid. The issue is making justifiable
comparisons.


Funny how No Child Left Behind winds up in Kennedy's top 10 legislative
accomplishments.

Kennedy worked closely with President George W. Bush to advance the No
Child Left Behind Act, one of Bush's earliest accomplishments and,
critics say, his last meaningful attempt at bipartisanship.
