"A presidency of stupefying ineptitude"

So wrote Joe Klein of TIME. I have to agree. Klein mentions two moments. One after having landed on the carrier under the sign "Mission Accomplished." The other, a picture of Bush looking out the window of air force one at the devastation of what was Now Orleans three days after the hurricane.
Obama told us early on there is only one president. Since then he has come before the cameras frequently with assignments, to answer questions and to reassure the American people that help is on the way. The hunger for these appearances indicates to me that we've already given up on the current president.
What a mess president Bush leaves Obama. Two wars going on for virtually all of Bush's 8 years. A huge Deficit, and now the world's economy in a tail spin.
When Bush took office he surrounded himself with yes men and though most of those men have left him or are in jail, this is the result.
Maybe America needs to consider that the presidential candidate of their preferred party may not always be the best selection.
