    @Bill_H

    "You miss my point. My point isn't that Bush is or is not a competent President. My point is that to some people like Madden, it doesn't matter what Bush does or doesn't do he is just automatically wrong."

    What, exactly, are those right things that Mr. Bush did that Madden found to be wrong?

    It's actually fairly hard to come up with one substantial accomplishment of Mr. Bush's presidency. I've put this question to Republicans at times and their answers are invariably political things like "Appointing conservative judges to the Supreme Court".

    You're grasping at straws here, anyway. This article is about Bush's final failure, paralyzed like a deer in the headlights while the country's economy collapses. Quibbling about other unidentified articles this writer could conceivably have written is no rebuttal whatsoever.
