[quote:Bluebird:MV8xOTAxNTEwXzMxNzg2NjQwX0E2RkU1QTcz] But Bush isn't running for POTUS or re-election and Obama is!

What Obama has done to contribute to the problem is relevant because we can expect more of the same only much worse as he will not have to be on his best behavior for reelection purposes. [/quote]
