New York Times Writer, An Apologist For Bush

Here's a piece by columnist Peter Baker of the New York Times, not just reporting, but commenting on his observations of those aboard the plane that returned George W. Bush to Texas.



I'm not familiar with Peter Baker as a columnist the the Times. He seems to be siding with those loyal to Bush who thought Obama was taking cheap shots at Bush in his inauguration speech.



Baker would do well to remind himself that the American people, including Obama, but certainly not limited to Obama, have repudiated Bush's actions when asked by giving him a positive opinion rating in the 20's and 30's for several years now.



It's characteristic of those on the receiving end of low opinion to discredit polls which reveal such data. That's human nature. Hearing opprobrium is painful, accepting it can be excruciating. Being relieved of it can be freeing.



Some say Bush will make bundles on the talk circuit. That's the first amendment at work, a part of the Constitution Cheney manipulated him to trash.



Crawford, Texas has its silver spoon fed, Barbara Bush coddled, Yale, Harvard exposed, bailed out of failure but still village idiot back.
