I'm an Independent and moderate but want to put my 2 cents in.
I think both Obama and Bush are great family men. And I think both have a sense of humor about themselves.
Also, I separate the job as President from the man. I may not like what they are doing/did on the job, but I like both Obama and Bush as people and wish them the best.
I'm a Republican and voted for McCain. I wanted to like Obama and was hoping he would surprise me but he hasn't yet. The failures I see belong mostly to the people he's surrounded by (Pelosi, Reid, Frank).That being said, I think he had to overcome a lot more than Clinton and Bush to get where he is today and I respect that. I also am impressed with his handling of Afghanistan and Iraw. I also think he's basically a "good guy". I think that Bush and Obama genuinenly liked each other. Heck, I'd love to have a beer with him. I also think his wife is quite attractive and his kids beautiful as well.
At least conservatives have not taken to calling him "B.O.!" Actually, there seem to be less hateful words about him than on Clinton. Of course, Clinton lied more and was a Southerner. And I have heard no personal attacks on the first lady. Compare that to the constant barrage back then against the now Secretary of State.
