Its these kind of double standards that kill me. I don't understand how anyone can be so blind as to not see that Bush is scrutinized for absolutely everything and Obama gets a 72% approval rating after announcing that his two main platforms aren't even going into effect/ happening.

Last time I checked, I thought EVERY president purchased china/silver/something for the White House (which most likely didn't come from the local Dollar Tree's clearance rack or something).
I'm not a Bush fan myself, but I am really failing to see the issue here.

Which makes the entire thread/ thread title all the more ridiculous.

Be careful because being a FAN or not a FAN of a president is a big no no with DrPhil.

Thanks for remembering that in a thread that I've barely read and participated in.

Ummmm Obama isn't President until noon today.
And it's quite possible what you are failing to see is that possibly the reason WHY Bush was scrutinized so deeply possibly had a little tiny way with how he managed to win both elections.
That JUST might be it....I could be wrong.

How he managed to win both elections... by facing weak democratic challengers and getting more electoral votes than them? I fail to see the problem (and please don't go on some whacko tangent about Diebold.)

Especially the last election...I still fail to see how the Dems couldn't come up with a better candidate than Kerry; I think they could have had a much better chance with someone else.

Didn't Bush's motorcade get egged? I remember seeing something like that. I could be wrong, I'm just asking.

If I remember correctly, people threw eggs, bottles, and a bunch of other stuff after the 2000 election. Incredibly mature...
