Double-Standard Watch

As you know, we are not permitted to declare Bush's policies a failure even after eight years; rather, we are to wait indefinitely long before drawing negative conclusions about them. However, if his policies can in any way be construed as having succeeded--like, say, the surge--then we are not only permitted but obligated to immediately judge them to be successes.

And, of course, a week or two is more than long enough to declare any Obama policy a failure.
