As you may recall, Obama simply couldn’t get around to visiting wounded troops during his whirlwind European tour. Many suspected that his unwillingness to make those visits was the fact that the cameras would have to stay outside the hospital doors.
George Bush is a different kind of politician, that’s all I can say.
Hat tip: Rocket’s [...]

I’ve noticed an interesting trend in the comments to my Barack Obama posts lately whenever liberals wander by. I’ll put up a post pointing out something very specific we’ve learned about Obama, despite his rather thin resume.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that John McCain is going to have to cope with something I call PT-BDS — or Post Traumatic Bush Derangement Syndrome. Let me explain and, as is so often the case with my explanations, let me start with a personal anecdote.

Over at the Paragraph Farmer, you can read an almost lyrical article examining the way in which Progressives desperately needed George Bush to give meaning and shape to their lives, and get a sense of the problems they’ll have when, as will inevitably happen in 2009, he leaves the political scene.

One of the things that puts the Kumbi-ya crowd into an absolute frenzy is President Bush’s refusal to deal directly with murderous dictators. Forgetting the example set by Neville “Peace in Our Time” Chamberlain, this crowd is certain that, if they can just wrest a smile from someone evil, they’ll be halfway to ending [...]
