What did George "Whoopass" Bush do in '08 when Russia took (and kept) 20% of Georgia's territory? [View all]

I dunno, maybe I'm just a dumb Canuck, but when I see Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin and John Bolton bleating like goats about President Obama's "weakness" and "naivete" and whatnot, I'm just here wracking my puny frozen brain trying to discern what exactly W (which is just an upside-down M which stands for Manliness!) did six years ago that was substantively different from what Obama's doing now.

Anybody care to explain to a poor ferner?
