Of course they are mean spirited WATB still smarting from a lost election, but I gotta give then one point:
Recent history has shown us a single president can turn US prestige powers and laws into shit.
I imagine that we anti-Bush must have seemed real loony from 2001-2003, predicting the war would be "like Vietnam" and there would be thousands of Americans dead. Or when Krugman and others predicted the Bush Economy would turn into a huge failure.
We didn't have any evidence then, just our logic and our reality based thinking. and history... Any of those 3 not the conservatives strong suit. So they thought (or made others think) we were hysterical, whinny losers. Well, turns out we were right...
