Bush was a govcernor for 4 years, his first term in office IIRC so he a noob. On top of that the lefties say he is kinda slow so his poor performance may be undertandable by those two elements.
Kerry was senator for 20 years, not a noob in any way, many terms. The lefties also say that Kerry is smart and undersatands complexity. So whats his excuse for a pointless 20 year record?
