You make a very good point, I would just like to say that while other people seemed to think that George Bush was a likeable fellow, to me he always came across as an arrogant, mean-spirited and sneaky looking.

When the press was pushing him as the candidate most americans would like to have a beer with, I had to laugh... I wasn't all that hepped up for having a beer with an Ivy League cheerleader, draft dodger and spoiled little rich kid who never did an honest days work in his life and who was handed every job, (board membership) he ever had because of his daddies connections.

Yeah, but Bush is the one who has the look of the snake oil salesman, it's all in the smirk and the beady eyes.  Visually, Obama doesn't bear any resemblance to that, and I haven't seen him be dishonest about stuff like Bush has.

We start being too picky about what we want in a candidate, expecting them to be completely perfect, and we lose yet another election.  And the right wing blowhards take over again.
