We as a civilization are terrible at getting over things, it seems.

  Oh it gets even more amusing. By the logic of the GP, Bush must have impersonated every member of the house and senate because they're not aware of how the TSA came into existence/how a law is created. The Aviation and Transportation Act garnered broad bipartisan support.

    It was referring more to the time period and general power grab that the federal government was involved in (Patriot Act, Protect America Act, etc..) Also, Bush had to sign the ASTA into law (checks and balances) which he did so he's part of the problem.

      He certainly was part of the problem, but I think that the way it was phrased originally implied he was the majority of the problem. In truth, these measures had broad support from not only our elected representatives, but from the people themselves. Turns out that people do not actually give a shit about civil liberties, and our representative democracy acted accordingly.
