All in all, I would have preferred Cheney as president rather than
Bush, but Bush did an excellent job on the foreign policy front, but
was a huge disappointment on the domestic front.

If Cheney would have gotten his way, the mess in Iran would not have
been left to the current administration. Unfortunately, it's pretty
clear that Obama doesn't have a clue how to deal with that situation
at all. So far, Obama looks like a complete fool with one deadline
being replaced by another deadline when the Iranians ignore it.

Which data would those be on Dubya? We'd all like to see it.

That is just such a stupid remark it defies a response.

Yes, but we'd be able to catch the sick ones quickly, because they won't
be able to move very fast.
