CNN's Erick Erickson praises George W. Bush's response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks:

When George Bush stood on the rubble of the World Trade Center and said, “I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” people knew he meant business.

People knew that George Bush would take action. They believed him.

Then, just two sentences later, he attacks Barack Obama:

Barack Obama is a man who cannot function without an enemy — someone to blame for all his and our ills. Without an enemy, or a scapegoat if you will, he will not act.

So, in Erick Erickson's warped, partisan little mind, Barack Obama is a bad, weak man who creates scapegoats, but George W. Bush is to be commended for his strong leadership in response to 9/11 -- which, by the way, involved lying the country into war against a nation that didn't attack us. “Or a scapegoat if you will.”
