Yes, Bruce, it seems that you do.

By way of explanation, the trend that establishes this bias is that in the last eight years, every explanation I have heard Bush offer seemed self-serving and disingenuous, while almost every time I have heard barak explain something he seems thoughtful, willing to look at himself as honestly as possible, and more interested in communicating than in lying.

Bush has taught me to expect duplicity, while Obama has taught me to expect a degree of thoughtfulness even in decisions I disagree with.
