All this shamecasting is silly, anyway. The White House does not "keep saying it is doing what BUsh did". Apparently some of Bush's policies are being continued, but I haven't seen the WH say it is doing what Bush did. And it really requires specifics to be able to even think about what you might be trying to say instead of the frenetic assertions about general conditions with no granularity to them.

If some conservatives criticize a policy that is a continuation of what Bush did, when they did not criticize it coming from Bush, the question deserves to be asked why it seems different now. The obvious conclusion is they are motivated not by what they see, but by their political ambitions.

As for me being hypocritical, the number of times I did NOT comment on some stupidity by the Bush administration exceeds by orders of magnitude the number of times I did. Obama hasn't gotten a tenth of the passes I gave those guys. Give Obama eight years and THEN count them up, eh?

Finally, in case you haven't noticed, things are gradually getting better under Obama's guidance despite the chaos that was left at his doorstep a year ago.

Chill out. Be easy. Heal.
