    Just because the media didn't like President Bush and VP Dick Cheney, doesn't mean Americans didn't like them-quite the opposite. In fact, if you look at the CURRENT poll numbers, people like Cheney over Biden, and President Bush's numbers in his first 100 days were higher then Obama's. People are now wishing for the good old days of Bush/Cheney over what we have now. But they must feel the pain of their vote. One thing is certain-the MSM has lost all credibility and will fade into the sunset.
