These conversations are so pointless because, most of the time, the only difference between one person's bad guy and good guy is party affiliation.

Critter...actually the thing I despise the most is grading on a curve. They are all bad right now. There is no need to compare any current administration to a past administration. I grade them on on how THEY are doing NOW. I am critical of things Bush did, Clinton did, etc...on their own accord, not in comparison to another president.
What I do find interesting is the decision to respond to the vacation part...but not the incompetent part. That speaks volumes.

Bingo! Hard to respond to a catch-all term, easier to respond to the quantifiable one.

You're right it may be hard to accurately describe competence...but incompetence is quite obvious. I doubt history will have a hard time telling the difference.

One would think. But it seems that history has been sugar coating the bad done by Presidents after they are finished lately. Heck, even Nixon got popular again long after the fact.
We seldom remember that the "golden" years were made of pyrite.

In 1978 I was out drinking with a college wrestling team from California (I have long forgotten which college) after a tournament in Calgary. Somehow the talk got to politics and I was shocked by our guests' forceful conviction that the only thing Nixon did wrong was to get caught. I thought college kids were supposed to be idealistic.
