Possibly, but in my memory I never heard anyone, anywhere, accuse Bush
of corruption.

You're agreeing with yourself. I wrote:

I think we should get out of Gitmo, and there are gaping problems with

I think Bush bungled the war in many ways... not enough men, played
too nice at times.

I *guess* we need a Gitmo... if that is true, there is no better place
for Gitmo... than Gitmo.

McCain would likely not have done a whole lot... which in this case

stimulus package alone. Not that I'm fond of McCain... I'm not. If
McCain were in, maybe there would have been gridlock... which is
almost always good.
