Where is the father of my country?

I think the only good measure of a Democracy is the iniative that citizens take upon themselves. At times, this is only facilitated by a leader--and Presidents are really good barometers as to the level of political action

Exiting presidents typically aim for graceful exits to give the incumbent a chance, otherwise people might defer to the prior administration.

and the right won't even touch bush - he's too unpopular. McCain did not ask him to attend the GOP convention

I'd also argue that during the lame duck presidency, Bush was rather supportive of Obama

and I would have killed to see you take down 700 old white people :) (I'd have been by your side, telling my relatives to suck it!)
