He stepped into a crappy situation, and the crappy situation was bound to get crappier. He saved the banks from failing, and he stopped GM from going under. I think he has done a pretty good job of keeping our head above water.

This certainly explains Afghanistan.

Iraq, not so much.

did you miss the past few years? you know, the one where a significant percentage of the Democrat party decided George Bush had deliberately taken part in the mass-murder of thousands of Americans?
 
until we get good economic news. then magically it will become Obama's economy :roll:

that is totally untrue. ive seen this poll and remember is being discussed years ago, and you are totally misrepresenting it.
 
Re: Invading Iraq: It had nothing to do with 9/11 - Saddam was a Sunni Muslim and considered the extremist Sharia Muslims like Al Qeada and the Taliban to be a threat. He executed them if they were found operating in Iraq. The rest of the world's intelligence said Iraq had no WMDs and this is why the UN refused to sanction the invasion.

My personal opinion on why we invaded Iraq - GWB wanted to punish Saddam for having threatened his father's life when Bush, Sr. was president, Bush wanted his oil buddies to make money off the oil reserves and Cheney wanted his contractor buddies to make money off the contracts that would follow the invasion.

Possibly, but the Democrats didn't think that was enough. They had to push it over the ****ing cliff.

Whatever you can claim that Bush did wrong, and whatever adverse effect you can claim it had on the economy, is nothing compare to what The Democrats have done to it since Obama took office.

If Bush was negligent or careless, then Obama and his cronies were maliciously, willfully destructive.

I know right. The democrats are still crying "well Obama was handed a bad economy." It has been long enough and we have no progress. The government keeps saying that the recession is over. But any honest working American knows it is bull.

The Recession isn't over...only if you redefine what an economic recession is.

The economy under bush* was losing millions of jobs. Under Obama, jobs are being created.

I call that progress. Not enough, but it's progress.
 
Its funny how GOPers whine about Democrats & Liberals continuing to blaim Bush for things that Bush is clearly responsible for, and yet they love to blame Kennedy & Johnson for all of the "socialist" Great Society programs.

message? Republicans & Conservatives can moan and groan about long-dead Presidents who governed 50 years ago, but Democrats & Liberals CAN'T complain about a President who is still living and left office only 2 years ago.

Hypocrisy? You betcha'.

I wouldnt blame Kennedy. If anything Kennedy was crazy for nearly starting a nuclear war. he had some big hones. However, Johnson is a different story. "The congs wont go to peace talks? Lets bomb them!" If anything there is any complaining about Kennedy, it is how the whole Kennedy family is a bunch of crooks.

Bush is not to blame for everything. He did do good and he did do bad. All presidents have their ups and downs. And I ask you to name one president who was perfect. Bush sent troops to the middle-east based on intelligence information as would any Commander-in-Chief.

comparing blaming Bush for the poor economy & two wars...to 9-11 Truthers blaming Bush for 9-11, is very dishonest and pretty pathetic.

The "fair and balanced" folks wish everyone could just forget that Bush was ever President.

eh...

I guess that means we can also blame Bush for the highly intimate body scanners, the TSA rub-downs of old ladies & children, and the color-coded/fear-mongering "terror warning".
 
Until another Republican is in the White House, at which point they will blame him.
The Obama could be elected to 10 terms; never will anything be His fault.

and yet, many Liberals & Democrats are angry at Obama, including myself.

we blame him for many things, but mostly for not standing up to the GOP and for allowing his obsession with being the "better man" get in the way of demanding good legislation & compromise from the Tea-Baggers.
