What if...

I am no fan of President George W. Bush, but in the last couple of months I have grown increasingly nostalgic for “the good old days.”

I wonder how the liberal left (and their lap dogs, the Press) would have reacted if:

If George W. Bush had made sure he appeared on as many television shows as possible, including the Jay Leno Tonight Show…

If George W. Bush, while on television with Jay Leno, had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics…

If George W. Bush had demanded the removal of Winston Churchill's bust from the White House…

If George W. Bush had given Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair's UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift…

If George W. Bush had never held a real job before running for President…

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches…

If George W. Bush had insisted that he was the only person to rise through the ranks of the Chicago political machine having never become corrupted…

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia…

If George W. Bush could not utter a coherent sentence without the aid of a teleprompter…

If George W. Bush had included in his first budget funding for a private army accountable only to himself…

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language"…

If George W. Bush refused to entertain questions at his press conferences from journalists or networks he didn't like…

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who turned out to be a bunch of tax cheats…

If George W. Bush had paid billions of taxpayer dollars to his political cronies who elected him, including criminal organizations like ACORN…

If George W. Bush had blamed everything that happened the first three months of his first term on Bill Clinton…

If George W. Bush promised to reject lobbyists in his cabinet, then appointed lobbyists throughout his cabinet…

If George W. Bush had campaigned with the mantra of "Change," then filled his cabinet with people who served in his Dad's cabinet…

If George W. Bush had ordered the CEO of a major corporation to resign, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so…

If George W. Bush disregarded folks protesting (tea parties) his policies as minor irritations…

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year…

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years…

If the Bush Administration had allowed Air Force One to fly low over New York City while 9/11 remained fresh in the minds of New Yorkers…

If after promising transparency in government George W. Bush had refused to release the photographs of Air Force One flying over New York City…

If George W. Bush had claimed tax cuts for family's earning less than $250,000 per year, and then the fiscal budget set the income threshold at $200,000 per year…

If George W. Bush had called Democrats "bitter"…

If George W. Bush's Department of Homeland Security had released a report calling liberals "leftwing extremists," and possible "domestic terrorists"…

Please, anyone, help me understand how Obama is so brilliant and impressive.

And this is only the first few months - we still have three years and nine months to go!
