George W Bush begat Barack Hussein Obama ?

Would Barack Obama have won the last election if he had not followed George W Bush? The opposition to Bush was so intense over the Internet and the blogs that Barack Obama was able to overwhelm any opponent in the last election. If not for Bush, could he have gotten that money and could he have won the last election?

The irony cannot be lost that Bush spent all his presidency looking to execute or torture people with "Hussein" in their names. Then the American people elect that person to be President of the United States. I wonder if this is not what history will record??

1. The Democratic muckety mucks might have been a little

more conservative and offered a white male as front runner instead of a white female versus a black male had Stupid not been such an unmitigated disaster.

In other words, the country grew up enough to elect a woman or a man of color, but only because a white male who looked so good on paper had fucked things up so completely.

If Stupid had turned out to be an Eisenhower instead of a Howdy Doody, it would have been a much tougher sell.
