I have always questioned the choices made by presidents especially when the majority of Americans (being that this is a democracy) were either for or against something and those presidents and their political party ran in opposition of that majority, as was the case with the planned invasion of Iraq.
Just an F.Y.I., Cheney/Bush weren't presidents. They were dictators and I don't trust dictators, but I do have a modicum of healthy trust for politicians until they no longer work for the good of the majority of Americans. I don't start off giving politicians of my Party an "F" after which they have to earn the "A", like you appear to do.
HOWEVER ... on this site, this DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPORTING SITE in a vital ELECTION YEAR and in conformance with the DemocraticUnderground ToS, I refuse to criticize and demoralize supporters of this president and his Party. There are plenty of sites out there where you can do that; plenty of broadcast shows, radio shows, talk shows, cable "news" network shows, etc., that are busy ramping up the criticism of this Democratic President and his Party without giving the opposition Party the same "deference", that it really isn't necessary to rehash it here - unless, there's an agenda.
