Many of us did. But it was an unprecedented time for America, we were vulnerable and manipulable as a populace.

You're cool, man. I'm just saying we shouldn't give him a pass.

I hate to see people excusing him and blaming it all on Cheney as if he was just a buffoon caught in the flow. He knew what he was doing.

Bush and his admin lied to the American people. We were misled into supporting his war, our grief was taken advantage of.

This part is true. I think he just had a lot of charisma with it overall. Also, we had Bush Jr to compare him to, which makes anyone competent sound like a genius.

The bigger TIL for me is that Philadelphia Cream Cheese invented cream cheese

In 1872 William Lawrence, a dairyman from Chester, New York, attempted to make Neufchâtel, a tangy, crumblier cheese product that was popular in Europe at the time. Instead he accidentally added an excessive amount of cream and created a richer, more spreadable cheese, which would eventually be called "cream cheese".

They don't make those anymore, I think

If by show you mean Rings of Power, I think the fan consensus is that it's crap. Even in the kindest opinion I don't think you could call it "just as good" as the Peter Jackson film trilogy.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic, so that no one had the chance to interrupt, it was really quite hypnotic.

This is all you need.

A black male President with a white male VP is a much smaller hurdle than a black/indian woman Pres with another woman VP. Remember black men got the right to vote before women did.
