I have disliked Bush almost from the first days of his presidency. I distrusted him, in hindsight appropriately, because I have observed in corporate life that you can tell a great deal about the man in charge by the people he places near his seat of power. I saw Cheney and Rumsfeld as arrogant bullies. I have seen their type in business and they are so sure of their opinions that they ignore efforts to advise or reason - they are poison. This pattern persisted with Bolton, Gonzales and Wolfowitz.
I concur with Bill who wrote in his blog, "The George W Bush Administration will not go down in history as a mediocre presidency. It will be remembered as thoroughly ineffective and one of the most grossly incompetent administrations in American history."
Don't confuse arrogance for strength.

It is almost too easy to quick the current administration...the next time they coherently defend a policy position may be the first time it happens. GWB couldn't sell a girlfriend at a Star Trek convention.
When you listen to Tony Blair defend the war and lay out the reasons for it you are left wondering how GWB can have such a hard time keeping the reasons clear. I actually believe when GWB speaks about the war he actually loses support...it pisses me off.
Here is a challenge...try to write a similar sized post complimenting the president. Not an easy task.
