Keep in mind on Bush
... that although it's true that "we" elected him, it was damn close (& a lot of us *really* tried to get this administration out). On those that voted for him - and somehow think to excuse themselves now with "well, he didn't seem that bad"... I'm in the same state as the above Canadian poster.
That closeness was with, frankly, a not very inspiring democratic option... and a nearly incompetent party machine backing him. As the saying goes, the democrats excel at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I'd go on about why he hasn't been thrown out subsequently, but it's been mostly covered by those more eloquent than me multiple times.
