Bushies Whining about Obama's Inaugural Address

On the plane ride back to Texas, some Bushies complained about Obama's inaugural speech taking shots at the departing administration.

The Bushies are right. That was one hell of an inaugural address:

From Peter Baker in the Times:
... (T)he context of some of (Obama's) remarks was lost on no one. He criticized ‘our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.’ He promised to ‘restore science to its rightful place.’ He rejected ‘as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.’ He assured the rest of the world ‘that we are ready to lead once more.’

Some writers, including David E. Sanger of The New York Times, concluded that it was the first time since Franklin D. Roosevelt took over from Herbert Hoover in 1933, that an incoming president used his Inaugural Address to so evidently repudiate his predecessor as he headed for the door.
But just wait, they ain't seen nothing yet. That accountability-responsibility thing that Bush used to BS about. Well, a legal reckoning is coming and a popular mandate will be there to provide all the support the administration will require.
