I know I have Bush to thank for my increased awareness of citizenry.

Only if he does something to deserve it, and it is a bit early to know if that will happen...

To me Bush seemed to deserve most of it and most of it was honest. I don't think Obama will be as bad so I doubt there will as much honest attacks to be made.

Obama should not only be scrutinized and challenged with the tough questions asked, but I think he will be held to higher expectations than any modern president ever was.
You claim that "hyper partisan" left have lied and blamed everything on Bush, care to elaborate on what?

I know some moderates who have placed blame on Bush for certain things, but not for everything.

Yawn. Let me know when Obama starts a war based upon lies, doubles the national debt, has bin Laden trapped but loses him, dangerously overstretches the military, expands executive power in an unconstitutional manner, acts in a secretive manner (despite the people ... not for them), ignores various warnings about a plot to attack the US, lets his Vice President be more active in governing than he is, judges a man's character by the look in his eyes, doesn't veto a single bill while his party is in power, or starts uttering gibberish.

What I'm curious is whether the alleged "blames" are justified.
ie, he lied about Iraq

Actually, I think that's one of the best things that Bush has done for this country. It reminded us that government need to checked. Same as with Nixon and Watergate. Served as a reminder to be weary of our leaders, and those in power.
