It's not hard to see the reason why when you listen to him talk. George is George and very unlikely he'll ever change. Meanwhile, he is the President, for better or worse, but even now, sure doing one foul job of it - but ya can't expect anything much better. That's why experience and a track record matter - not who's son you are.

Completely agree. I think it points more to a failure of the general political process in the United States. The fact that GW could win a second term after making so many mistakes speaks volumes about the two party system American's enjoy.
The fact of the matter is, by the time you get to the highest levels of most goverments you're so owing to special interest groups and the "friends" that got you there that you really have very little of yourself left to give back. The degree to which you can cover this up becomes your approval rating.
