Overall, how do you grade the U.S. Government's response to 9/11? All expectations aside, have they been flawless? Have they bungled their way through? Has the situation improved or have things gotten worse?
Personally, (and let's not have any coronaries here, ok?), I give the Bush Whitehouse an easy passing grade. Nothing spectacular, but nothing horribly wrong, either. I would have rather seen less bombing before the ground troops went in, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Its not as though I'm really surprised, either. The way I see it, a President's job...actually the Whitehouse's job.....is to not get in the way, to say the right things at the right time, and basically to not f*ckk anything up with too much politics. Kind of like a quarterback that you don't ask to win the game. You just ask him to not loose it.
Like Trent Dilfer last year for the Ravens.
Other than sounding like he's in the middle of a Smackdown wrasslin' match a little too often, Duh-bya's said pretty much the things you want a Prez to say, and done the things you want him to do. I'm not trying to take anything away when I say that there aren't a lot of former Presidents that I don't think could have handled things thus far.
I take a few points off for the bombing, and add a few for being flawless in the 'not f*cking up' dept, remove a few for arguing semantics and the exact meaning of a humane doctrine like the Geneva Convention (very unamerican thing to do), and just a very few more for dinging the constitution here and there.....
I give them a C-.
