Obama is Very Different than Bush

I mean, not to state the obvious or anything, but still... Just listening to him in the Middle East give all these speeches: Bush and Obama might as well have come from different planets...

Bush was ignorant, lazy, impressionable, angry, closed minded, condescending, rude, and had terrible communication skills.

Obama is calm, well prepared, incredibly well spoken, confident, open minded, and sensitive.

Which makes me think:  would something like Obama as president be possible without the catastrophic destructiveness of the Bush presidency that immediately preceded it?

Probably not.  

Life is funny, isn't it?
