IS IT REALLY FAIR TO COMPARE SUCH A LOUSY PRESIDEN T TO ONE OF THE BEST?:

Criticizing Obama, Kucinich credits Bush for asking Congress to go to war (Bob Cusack, 06/16/11, The Hill)

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) on Thursday ripped President Obama while giving credit to former President George W. Bush for asking Congress to authorize the war in Iraq.

The anti-war Democrat, criticizing Obama's handling of the conflict in Libya, noted that Bush formally consulted Congress on the Iraq war in 2002.

"President Bush came to Congress ... President Obama doesn't feel like he needs to come to Congress," Kucinich said during an interview on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" program. Kucinich pointed out he was strongly opposed to the Iraq war.
