"moral" stance of being above what the last elected President appeared to have projected.

Once he got in, though, he managed to get every outlet to treat him more delicately than any other President ever had been treated.

I wouldn't even grade Bush as "exceeds expectations" (since expectations were very low for his "pResidency", it shouldn't have been too hard for him to rise above that level).

Also rather funny how a stock market gain is trumpeted, even though a larger actual gain under the Clinton administration ranked a smaller percentage gain. A hundred point gain for a stock market value of 10500 means less than 90 point gain for a stock marked value of 8500.
