Bush didn't "keep us safe." The 9/11 attack happened on his watch. Then he took out the number one bulwark against Iran in the Middle East. He got us involved in two simultaneous land wars in Asia. He traded some of our liberties for safety (see Ben Franklin quote). Then he gave us no real increased safety by avoiding proper planning or doing it poorly. Terrorists could have done what Katrina did to the levees in New Orleans and the Feds had no idea what to do.

Compared to that, Obama will have to work very hard to do half as bad.
