I am sorry about the Bush derangement syndrome and maybe that doesn't apply here. There are a great many things that Bush has done that I don't like and I understand many people have good reasons for their overall negative impression of his administration. But what bothers me greatly is that he gets blamed for every bad thing that happens and gets no credit for anything positive. It just gets to the point where Bush detractors have limited credibility with me because they are so over the top in their hatred...hence the Bush derangement syndrome moniker. So blaming him for the problems we are having with oil just has no basis in fact when it is Democrats in Congress who are to blame (to the extent that domestic production will alleviate some of the pricing issues). He is either in bed with big oil and out to destroy the planet or it is his fault that we don't have sufficient domestic production but not both.

I also find it objectionable that in the course of their vitriol they attribute all sorts of evil intentions to Bush, Cheney and others in the administration. I have a strong sense that President Bush means well even if he doesn't always do well. When the criticisms become so mean spirited and vile all I can come back to is the derangement syndrome. Again, maybe that doesn't apply here and I was too quick to through it out.
