True...he is truely someone that is PC to bash. More so than any other president in history.
I think it's the era we live in now. Back in the day, there was limited media coverage and the relationship between press and politicians was significantly tighter so FDR could hide his polio, JFK could hide his women.
Now a days, everyone is on mission for the "truth" and determined-more than ever it seems-to find fault in leaders and newsmakers. And all you needs is a computer and an Internet connection to fire up a blog and spread your message out to the world.

The Media blows everything up too much and it gets taken out on everyone. Americans are the most impressionable people in the world.

That's very true.
I'm surprised that Bush hasn't been impeached yet. The only two ever to go through that is Nixon and Clinton.

You make your bed, you sleep in it. Everyone in here talks about personally responsibility...what about president and crew. Why should we make an exception and hold them to a lesser standard?

Umm what? Is this in response to someone...or just a random thought?

You know, I've always thought Clinton's impeachment was complete b.s. but after watching the last episode of Bill Moyers Journal (http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/07132007/watch.html) I completely changed my mind. I think bringing up impeachment proceedings was the right thing to do. It was unfortunate that it was politicized and wasn't based on principles.

I'm just defending the media's reporting on the Bush administration, granted I don't think they're doing a good job of it.

He most certainly deserved it. I think the fact that he was well liked by dems clouded the fact that he did deserve it.

No, Andrew Johnson was nearly impeached in 1868.
