I can cut W. a LITTLE bit of slack and say that some stuff was out of his control. I liken it the Hurricane Katrina fiasco in Louisiana. A lot of people place some of the blame on (former) Governor Blanco. However, Katrina was a once-in-a-lifetime event that NO ONE could have possibly been prepared for. It was a learn-as-you-go process. However, now that Piyush Jindal is in office, he's been through two major hurricanes--NOWHERE near the magnitude of Katrina--and he's been hailed as having the best hurricane preparedness plan in the world. Well, DUH!! From what we learned with Katrina, there's nowhere to go but up! With that said, I can understand a little bit of what Bush MAY be experiencing. HOWEVER, on the other hand, I feel that W. brought A LOT of the ridicule, etc. upon himself. He never quite seemed prepared, didn't have a way with words, always appeared confused and bewildered. He just seemed to run amok with the country and let the chips fall. I can't say that the media did it too him. HE gave them the ammunition.
