CNN Poll: Was Bush better president than Obama?

Looks like a few people out there would like a do-over on Obama.
Given that The Obama has either continued or expanded all of the actions that GWB was supposedly so 'wrong' about - especially the deficits - there's really no way to argue that The Obama has been better Presdient than GWB.
 
How many years did it take before Rummy got canned?
Did Michael Brown get canned immediately for his failures?
How many officials left the administration for pointing out potential problems and wanting people to take responsibility?

Responsibility is not something the Bush years were made of. The whole notion of deficit spending during economic expansions is a sign of that.

I believe we were talking about how Bush didn't take responsibilty and blamed others the way Obama does. I asked for quotes.

You won't get any.
 
What about the five trillion plus that President Bush added.
The Obama will have that total by the end of FY2011.

I do beleive he also was the one to established the first bail out on Oct 3rd...
So does that mean he GWB the credit for the positive effects attached to same?
 
would be an interesting comparison. I'd bet that Obama has blamed Bush more in 2 years than Bush blamed Clinton in 8.
Did GWB ever blame Clinton for anything?
 
If he didn't, his defenders did. ;)

but there is a difference. Obama has personally blamed Bush on many occasions. I don't recall ever hearing GWB blame Clinton publically. not saying that he didn't, just that I don't recall hearing it.

Doesn't matter. Really, it doesn't. I look recently and can link him doing it once, but it doesn't matter. The fact is both sides always blame backwards. Method for doing so is style over substance.

Sure it does. Supporters can blame anyone for anything -- the President actually saying 'its HIS fault' is someting entirely different.

I don't think so. Both benefit. One may use others to it, and another may do it himself, style. But the blame gets pushed along all the same.
 
Under what criteria are they using to determine who was better?
 
Obama has already been nominated the 15th best president. Ranking 24 places higher than Bush.

President Bush by far did the worst job as president than any one else has in a long while. He is the reason we are in this current crisis, along with everyone he allowed to have a hand in the 9/11 incident and the "War on Terror".

If you don't believe this you a fool.
Speaking of fools...

In every one of the things that The Obama, in his 2008 campaign, declared 'wrong' about GWB, The Obama has been worse.

Thus, to think that The Obama is 'better' than GWB is nothing but partisan bigotry.

Actually President Obama is a much better campaigner than President Bush. So, there are two things he is better at.
 
:funny

The irony in this:funny post is dripping. :mrgreen:

Was "campaigning' one of the numerous things described by The Obama as 'wrong' with the Bush Administration?
 
Bush had eight yrs. Obama will only have four. I guess we'll never be able to compare them.

Rotflol...

To be fair, Bush never blamed Clinton for what happened.

He had Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Fox News say it for him.

Hilarious thread.

Perhaps McCain and Palin were simply just THAT BAD at campaigning, as was Hillary, Rudy, Romney and the rest of the gang!

If you were to look at the numbers and his strategy Obama is clearly just a master at campaigning. Both Clinton and McCain did some pretty dumb things, but Obama just had them beat anyways. Although, if the Democrats ran their primaries the way the Republicans do than it is less likely Obama would have been the nominee.
 
Of course not.
:roll:

Don't forget the rest:

Ok then. Let's see some quotes from Bush's "defenders" who blamed Clinton. I'm sure it will be no where close to the blame Bush from Obama and his "defenders" but you'll at least have some proof that it did happen.
