He should have ended that sentance after the word job... the qualifying clause was unnecessary. Bush admits he didn’t ‘do a very good job’ of changing the tone in Washington.

Fleischer replied "It depends on how bipartisan the Democrats are going to be." When he took office, his people wore suits to work and declared that the "adults" had moved back into the White House. It turns out they were just 8-year-olds wearing dad's clothes.

What Bush isn't saying is the plan worked very well as it started with pushing Bill Clinton out of office. Americans were doing very well and got sucked in to the lies/scams and even God name can in to play for the GOP. This was the biggest Crime in US History as each Crook did his/her thing. The smart move by Cheney was to pay off Democrats like Pelosi, Feinstein and Schumer as well as Harry Reid. Now that's how you committ a successful crime. Even Dodd took advantage of the free money and now lost his memory of the hold thing. I loved his answer when asked how he got 200,000 dollars he said he didn't know it was wrong. Right!!

I'm stuggling to see where exactly he's done more good than harm. He's attempting to re-write history - so much so that you'd think his presidency began on Sept. 12, 2001. He's - once again in typical Bush form - a failure. Usually Daddy Bush would bail him out. This time he let him swing, and unfortunately, we're all paying the price for the Idiot President.
