It's Official! Obama's Kept Us Safer!
When you ask a neocon why they think Bush was a good president, they'll usually claim he kept us safe. Certainly VP Cheney has used that line many times. Of course, that metric only works if you exclude the first eight months of his presidency. Point out that omission and they'll pin it on Clinton. Yet somehow the current problems are all Obama's fault.
I don't know. Just seems odd to me that anyone would credit Bush with keeping us sate when the worst attack in U.S. history occurred during his term. Normally when you analyze someone's job performance, you start at the beginning. Measure it that way and Obama has kept us safe longer than Bush did. Oh, but I suppose Bush gets credit for that, which is fine since it should also mean he gets blame for the huge, vast mess he left behind.
