    Hey, I didn’t like Prez #43 either. But Robert Parry’s Bush-bashing and Obama-fawning is just as much science fiction as anything. If we take an objective look at the last eight years we can see that the blame extends far beyond the White House and far beyond the Republican Party.

    The Democrats had a job to do, and they failed to do it. They were supposed to challenge the majority, they were supposed to question the rush to war, they were supposed to reject the deregulation that led us into economic chaos. To be fair, some of them did. But most of them took a look at Bush’s popularity ratings and hid under the table. Their behavior was reprehensible, and they are at least as responsible for the mess that we’re in as Bush and the Republicans.

    It stands to reason that if Bush wasn’t the whole problem, then Obama isn’t the whole solution. Last time I checked, the Republicans were still brainless and the Democrats were still spineless. It about time to sober up and realize that change never comes from the top down. It comes from the bottom up. Back to work, comrades!
