One good thing about having a competent/Democratic administration, is that I have a lot more faith in the mid- and hight-level appointments. While I think it is doubtful Bush was very hands on in this decision, he appointed the guy that screwed it up. And when the CBO and GAO starting raising red flags, the Bush administration either missed the warnings or willfully ignored them.

Bush has so many huge screw ups that it is easy to miss these relatively small ones, but they are still important.

Let’s hope Obama is better at the actual work of governing, and when mistakes get made, let’s hope Obama fixes them and holds people accountable.
