I think that in 20 years (assuming everything hasn't gone to hell in a handbasket), GWB is going to be viewed as a heroic President who stopped every major attack post-9/11 from happening, yet took the constant harassment by the media (rather than trumpeting the foiled attempts) in the interest of denying the terrorists the "terror" factor of people wondering what the next plot was going to be.
Obviously, the Dean/Pelosi/Reid loony-left faction would LOVE to put somebody like "The Wall Should Be Higher Than The Law Demands" Jamie Gorelick in charge of the Justice Department ... I just hope the Obama transition team is having an endless stream of "OH SHIT!" moments realizing that if they pull back on Homeland Security it will (quelle surprise!) make the homeland less secure!

I almost feel sorry for Obama now, reading the classified reports and coming to the horrified realization that most of what he assumed about the war wasn't true.

*I* opposed it at first. I thought it was a desperate measure of the Bush administration, of which I think very, very badly. I'm willing to say, "Okay, that at least worked really well," but when you have an administration where if they said, "Water is wet" many people feel the need to run the tap and check, I think initial opposition can be more than excused.

...unless the reason you won't believe the "water is wet" statement is because you've been systematically been fed misinformation.
The ease or difficulty with which you would have been able to correct the propagandizing attempts is of course the measure of how culpable you are in your suspicion...

The propagandizing effects of whitehouse.gov?
Cause I cross-reference what I hear on the news with that. Not everyone is a mouth-breather who believes what she hears on Keith Olbermann, and I get really sick of this whole "Oh, if you don't like Bush/do like Obama it's because of the LIBERAL MEDIA." There is non-liberal media out there, and there's always whitehouse.gov.
