Why Republicans Are Better Than Democrats

One word. Denial. Let us compare:

A Democratic President faced with sky-high oil prices, a tanking economy and unpleasantness in the Middle East gets on TV and gives a speech about what's going wrong in the country and what he hopes he can do about it. Loses bid for re-election.

A Republican President faced with sky-high oil prices, a tanking economy and unpleasantness in the Middle East gets on TV and offers up sunshine and hope about said unpleasantness, economy and other stuff. Also pitches plan aimed to enrich campaign donors. Luckily can't run for re-election.
