    Why George W. Bush was a better president than Thomas Jefferson

    In the spirit of a recent post comparing Hamilton and Cheney, I thought I'd explore one area where George W. Bush bests Thomas Jefferson hands down: Bush never owned a single slave (as far as I know).

    Of course, you might say that times were different when Jefferson was president, but is that any better of an excuse than "just following orders"?

    Discuss. Please. (I'm only being half-way snarky here.)
