As the 2008 campaign warms up, we’re going to see lots of accusations of candidates having shifted their positions on this matter or that. It might be helpful to remember how the great “Decider in Chief” has taken different sides on the same issues.
Here, thanks to Jackson Thoreau, is a fairly comprehensive listing of some famous Bush flip-flops. See also here and here, or even here.

According to this article in the Niagra Falls Reporter, Bush and the US are hated around the world. Seems everything Bush touches turns to shit.
The Reporter’s Bill Galagher writes:
DETROIT — President George W. Bush has managed to alienate nearly the entire world, and in a relatively short span of time the United States has become an international pariah. Forget about the terrorists who “hate us because of our freedom,” the “axis of evil,” the “Islamofascists,” or whatever label Bush uses to demonize people and spread fear.The true measure of just how much Bush has systematically nurtured antipathy toward the United States is found in Europe, and especially in Italy. It is stunning how shattered the relationship now is.
I asked a friend, an Italian-American who often visits family there and had just returned from a Christmas trip, what Italians are thinking of Americans these days. His answer was grim and crisp: “They hate us.”
It will take decades to undo the damage done by Bush to America’s reputation.
