I guess you must have missed Obama's press conference on Friday in which the likes of Paul Volcker, Bob Rubin, and Larry Summers ( among others ) were standing behind him. The last time I checked, McCain had no such economic people standing behind him. Moreover, just about every single one of Bush's most important appointees FAILED miserably . . . From Rumsfeld, to Christine Todd-Whitman, to Gayle Norton, to Michael Chertoff, to Gonzales, to the Chairman of FERC, to SEC Commission Christopher Cox. The Republican leadership in Congress wasn't much better . . . or did you miss the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000" authored by none other than the likes of Richard Lugar, Phil Gramm, Thomas Ewing and Jim Leach? Try pulling your head out of the sand for a moment and REALIZE just how bad the Bush Administration has been filled with highly incompetent decision-making year after year after year. But leave it to you to continue to wear the "rose-colored" glasses of partisanship. Good Luck with that.
George W. Bush went to Yale and then got an MBA from Harvard. Both are Ivy League members ranked among the top ten programs in the world. You can say "yeah but GWB got in because of his family" all you want, but you can not ever prove that Obama did or did not get into Columbia and Harvard due to affirmitive action, which would also be unearned.
How a person finishes says a lot about whether they deserved a chance to start. Obama finished magna cum laude. You can look up Bush's school record yourself but I'll tell you now, it ain't pretty.
Actually when asked who he would pick as Treasury Secretary, McCain said he would pick Warren Buffett--who is one of Obama's top economic advisors! So that just validates Obama's team even more. note:McCain's top economic advisor Phil Gramm said the current recession was "in our heads" the other top advisor, Carly Fiorina said McCain and Palin were not qualified to run a company. http://www.nasdaq.com/aspxcontent/N...ays McCain Not Qualified To Run A Corporation ps You missed "Heck of a Job" Brownie as a miserable Bush appointee
Yeah I know, I was not saying he deserved to go, I doubt that he did. As far as I know though you can't look up Obama's record.

Bush surrounded himself with cronies, Texas boobs, it was like one big frat party. The wise successful men that Obama is surrounding himself with, who are not ashamed to be seen associated with, tell us all we need to know about how serious this man is when it comes to the presidency. The entire Bush presidency was like one big inside Texas joke. Do we really need to go into listing the competency of Harriet Meyers, Alberto Gonzalez, etc.?
