I think George W. Bush was a good man who made a lot of mistakes, and got a lot of bad advice from people like Cheney and Rumsfeld... esepcially in his second term.
I think Barack Obama is a good man who simply was not in Federal Government long enough to develop the horse-trading skills to be an effective president, but he still managed to pull us back from the abyss.
I think Mitt Romney is a horrible human being who will thoroughly fuck the working class if we are ever dumb enough to put him in office.
I think your first two paragraphs are fair and probably accurate assessments.
i didn't think you were correct about mitt. i'm not certain he's a horrible human being. i do think he is pretty rudderless as a political figure.
I don't think he's "rudderless", I think he completely lacks principles.
I don't think he's as right wing as he is talking now... he just made a political calculation that he had to go to the right to win. I don't think he's racist (despite belonging to a religion that calls dark skin a divine curse), but he made a political calculation that he had to play to racism to win.
And I think that he has a complete lack of empathy for the working class, given how many working class jobs he destroyed trying to make a quick buck.
