You left out the part where Dubya kept us safe. Unlike Obama who is responsible for four American deaths in Benghazi.

Let's compare!

<b>Clubby behavior at upper-class madrassa:</b> 41 was a "star" baseball player at Yale 43 was a cheerleader

<b>Ruling-class warrior required service:</b> 41 was, by some reckonings (probably not the other guys on his plane, but let's not quibble), a war hero 43 avoided service in Vietnam by spending a year in pilot training and getting himself spliced into no-show Air National Guard units flying ancient undeployable aircraft in Austin and Montgomery

<b>Business achievements:</b> 41 was a successful oilman in Texas, which is mostly a matter of luck and good funding 43 was whatever the opposite of that is, despite having both requisites

<b>International diplomacy:</b> 41 assembled an international coalition to return Kuwait to its previous owner, executed that task, and brought everybody home 43 immersed the nation in an apparently endless quagmire of low-intensity war, and was allowed to hold hands with his <a href="https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_hmtJsZGHS7k\/Stiw8Xkon8I\/AAAAAAAAAIc\/qE7cCkyTOyw\/s320\/bush_holding_hands.jpg" target="_blank">real constituent</a>

<b>Conclusion:</b> They both suck, but 43 was a black hole of suckitude.
