We get threatened every day. At the time there was no evidence to suggest THAT attack was more likely to go through.

Of course, I still think Bush was an incompetent bungler.

Run along please. Learn to read. Then post after you have a proper understanding of what you're responding to.

Claiming that the 51% that voted for Obama means that they are ok with Gitmo would only make sense if you thought Romney was going to close it.

There is no way Bush is worse than Warren Harding. Anybody else remember reading about the Gilded Age?
