At first, I was going to file this Al Hunt column away in the cabinet in my brain labeled "REFLEXIVE BUSH-BASHING: DO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY." But then I gave it another look, and though it certainly is Bush-bashing, it's anything but reflexive.
Whether or not you think history will vindicate 43--I'm of the mind that it will, but hey, what do I know?--its undeniable that right now, he's the second most unpopular person in the country. The most unpopular being, of course, his right-hand man Dick Cheney.
That set the bar awfully low for Obama. Could that be Bush's greatest failing? If he had been a bit more fiscally responsible, and if he had made his government a bit more transparent, I think the American people would be less willing to give Obama a four-year honeymoon.
