What failures enable such a sorry President to still have supporters?

I am 80 years old and the hardest thing I have ever had to contemplate and to reason why is that the American people have twice elected a man of the calibre of George W. Bush. Further, it is extremely difficult to fathom why anyone of any stripe would still be supporting him as millions seem to be doing. What this tells me is that there is a tremendous failing on the part of our educational and religious institutions, government bodies - local and national - and the media. Scott Ritter has hit the nail on the head when he avers that the incipient weakness of acumen and character has trailed down from the head man to the general populace.

If I get any comment on this post from conservatives it will be an attack on her speaking favorably of Scott Ritter. During the time of his most vocal criticism of Bush policies "someone" leaked to the press that he had been previously charged with attempting to meet with what he thought were teenage girls. The charge was dropped and the records sealed. After the exposure, the records were passed to the FBI and the Justice Department to possibly reopen the case but they did not do so. Would Scott Ritter be a worse President than Bush? Does he have more moral failings? Where does picking up teenage girls rank compared to drug and alcohol abuse and failure to fulfil a military service commitment? Would you vote for Bill Clinton if possible?
