I think a good point has been made here: that Bush can be a nice guy and still be unfit for the Presidency. I really do believe that Bush is a decent person, and I hope he retires to Crawford and lives a happy, safe, simple life away from public eye...starting in January 2005.
JUST being a nice guy doesn't mean one would make a good President. A compassionate man consoling a sad child is a beautiful gesture, but by that argument any priest at my college, my dad, my grandfathers, my fiance, and my male friends would all be equally good candidates for President. Which is to say nothing of the fact that there are lots of nice women out there, many people say that the "niceness" of these women DISqualifies them from being President.
sigh.
