Well, if the dude has to make changes in order to run an ENTIRE country...so what? Would the employees at Pizza Hut whine like little girls with sand in their vaginas if the MANAGER had to make a few changes to the store in order to make it more profitable?

Depends if the manager fought against fire safety for five years, called everyone who disagreed with him flammability sympathizers, and then advocated fire safety after the place already burned down. Gas prices are double what they were when Bush took office, it's too late for him to be preventative or pro-active; if he pushed those kinds of policies when he came into office, we would all be paying less now. Instead, he helped the current situation come into being by allowing tax breaks for oil companies, and is turning around and asking Congress to undo his own mistake - without admitting that he made a mistake.

I can deal with Bush making changes to run the entire country (I think that's a good thing), but when he's fixing his own mistake, he has to take some responsibility for fucking up in the first place. If you spend years smugly gloating that your policies are right and shouting down the other side every chance you get, and it turns out your policies were wrong, it helps to 1) have the balls to admit it, 2) change your future policies to reflect what you've learned 3) drop the smug attitude that made you look so foolish in the first place.
