He was following the success that made Bill. I found that many people who were looking to make a choice between the two candidates, and who were really evaluating them based on what they thought was their ability to restore confidence in the Office of President, and their ability to perform the types of things they felt needed to be accomplished, voted for Bush. It's an imperfect system with a good dose of checks and balances to protect us from ourselves. Unfortunately, there wasn't the foresight to build in safeguards to protect the office from the one who held it. Heck, Dick Cheney has the same issue, but he was probably one of the most effective people in government.
Progress comes from the fruit of compromise.
I have seen nothing in Bush's action to show that he does not consider both sides. Many of your other statements were not supported with any evidence that lead me to understand how you came to those conclusions. Had this same tone been used in the questions you posted, I would have had an easier time responding myself. By the way, I often read your postings in KM World. With your ability to sensibly look at issues, I'm very surprised by your posture on this topic.
