Don't go letting facts get in the way of your opinion of George Bush. You may not like him or his policies, but he is not the ignorant idiot liberals like to portray him as. He's well educated, he has real world business experience, he has at least some military experience and a political resume that will rival anyone's.
Liberals mistake a southern accent for being uneducated. They mistake liking sports, fishing, hunting and NASCAR as being uncouth. They think a quiet demeanor is indicative of lacking charm or grace. They'd rather have a smooth talking lawyer with no real world experience as the head of their party.
Obama is a nice guy. He's eloquent. He graduated from Columbia University and has a law degree from Harvard. He worked briefly as a civil rights attorney and taught. After that he spent 8 years in the Illinois state senate and now he's the junior sentator from Illinois. He's never owned a business. He's never served in the military. His voting record in the senate is as far left as it gets. He's a product of the Chicago political machine ala Daley and Jackson. He's never met an issue he wouldn't change his mind on and I don't believe him for a second regarding his relationship with his pastor. That's why I would never vote for him. Notice, I didn't call him an idiot. I never questioned how or why he got into Columbia and Harvard. I don't know or care about his grades. He graduated. That's good enough. Do you really think Columbia, Harvard and Yale just hand out degrees because you got in? Connections or affirmative action may get you in, but you still have to earn the degree.
Unlike most of my liberal friends I can separate the man from his policies. I respect Bush and Obama. They both have their stengths and weaknesses. They are both educated and neither one is an idiot. I completely disagree with almost everything Obama stands for. I disagree with about a third of George Bush's policies. Immigration, prescription drugs, and some of his Iraq war decisions just to name a few. I don't vote my wallet unless taxes are involved. IOW, how the guy I vote for feels about unions and airline pilots in general is way down the list of my priorities. I'm concerned about the Constitution, national soveriegnty (sp?) and taxes in that order. In that regard Democrats and Obama in particular are my worst nightmare. He's still a nice guy though.
