Blitzer: Well, there's one difference between President Bush and the previous presidents, and we're about to commemorate the second anniversary of 9/11. After 9/11, attitudes have changed towards the President, the President's responsibility, and what this country needs. And I think people are willing to give the President the benefit of the doubt, knowing what happened on 9/11.

From Bill Maher's show.
