His tunnel vision? Old rich white men can go thier entire lives without feeling the pain of discrimination even one time. Can you imagine if someone could legally tell you NO YOU CANNOT DO THAT because of the color of your skin, a disability, or your gender? This is why Sotomayor made her statement. If you've never had it happen, you should not judge how others can or should feel about it. Gay rights will eventually be exactly like womens rights. They had to fight for a long time too.

Back to the topic. Yes, Bush was not a good president. Look at the books that have been written about him, by his OWN TRUSTED people who jumped ship. Why did they? Easy. Bush was not one to listen to his teams opinions. My way or the highway. In my opinion, not a characteristic of a good leader.

Colin Powell should have written a book too, but he knows his political future will be better if he is not seen as a person who 'kisses and tells'.
