I've Got My Issues With Teddy (Update)

Update: I forgot the golden rule of comparing and constrasting. On the one hand we've got President Teddy Roosevelt's classic defense of democracy and free speech, to wit:
“To announce there must be no criticism of the President, and to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, it is morally treasonous to the American public.”


And then we have President George Bush:

"However they put it, the Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses"

I wonder which statement will be cited as an example of strong American democratic principles 80 years from now?

Bush is a president for the modern day moron. he speaks with authority and simplicity. black and white world that has no complexity.
