Did you even read anything about the ceremony today?
"Mr. Obama praised Mr. Bush for his resolve after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, his compassion in fighting AIDS in Africa and his commitment to overhauling the immigration system. Treading lightly over their disagreements over Iraq and other issues, the president said his predecessor had fought for what he thought was best for his country.
Mr. Carter, who was a fierce critic of Mr. Bush and the war in Iraq during his presidency, praised not only the AIDS program but also recalled how Mr. Bush had helped stop more than two decades of war in Sudan. “George W. Bush is responsible for that,” Mr. Carter said."
I guess people only see what they want to see.

"You constantly say that yet people here give him praise for that."
I follow politics closely, and I look at a lot of different outlets, from Foxnews to MSNBC and everything in-between. In my opinion, Bush hasn't gotten nearly the credit he deserves. Many people have no idea what he did.
Good to see Obama mention that. I also remember Obama's inauguration speech, with Bush standing 10 feet away, and Obama said nothing positive whatsoever.
"I guess people only see what they want to see"
Obama and Carter are 2 people, who said very nice things about Bush at one event. If you think that refutes the notion that deranged Bush-bashing is a favorite hobby of the media and the left, I respectfully disagree.
Eben thinks Bush was pushed into war by greedy warmongers. Where do you suppose he got that notion?
