Words never used to describe Bush.
I heard the second half of a discussion about Obama on NPR yesterday. Apparently he had met with R. members of Congress and had a real discussion with them about the economy. They walked away impressed and realizing they had the kind of dialogue that would have been impossible with Bush.

The media people in the NPR discussion used the following terms to describe Obama: "empiricist," "pragmatic," and "fact-based." Can you imagine anyone calling Bush "fact-based?"
