I don't like either of them.
 
Bush has had a 10 year chance to prove himself (and his idiocy) unlike Obama. So give it at least till the end of his first term? Otherwise any evaluations made on the man in comparison to the Bush years is just sheer inaccuracy.
 
The silenced majority said:
Bush.

Although he let the neocons under him run amok with his administration & signed in to law too many irresponsible spending increases, he didn't seem as determined to pit one American vs. another American the way that Barack Obama does so effortlessly & with so much zeal.

Also, Bush did not blame the prior administration for the problems he inherited 1/10th as much as Barack does during one of his habitual campaign appearances.

LOL.....are you serious?

Bush was THE master at Wedge politics. It was the only way that he could survive. Bush did more to divide this country than anyone has.

As far as Bush "not blaming the prior administration".....its kinda hard to "blame" someone....when you inherit a surplus....and good economy....a foreign policy that works.....and then somehow squander it all away.....

Obama should be so lucky to inherit the "problems" that Bush did.
 
Obama so far. Nothing against Bush... I just didn't like most of his agenda.
 
How about neither? You left that answer off...
 
Why is no :Fvck em' both" option available?

I agree. I favor most of the Democratic agenda, but it shouldn't always be "Democrat vs. Republican"

Libertarians and other 3rd parties would have a chance if they weren't excluded from the presidential debates.

Obama was a community organizer so is very in touch with what is going on in real America culturally:cool:

what IS a community organizer? is this like "the emperor's new clothes" or does everyone really know but me?

Hatuey said:
He is culturally not American? What does that mean exactly? He's not in the 66% of this country that is grossly overweight? He's never lived in a trailer park? He has a college education? He doesn't speak Ebonics? What does 'culturally American' mean? Because I'm pretty sure you could put Obama in any major American city and he'd be able to fit right in.

I think it's because he's black.

I seriously hope that was a sarcastic joke :lol:

I recently overheard a conversation where two job hunters were talking about including "community organizer" on their resume as both a skill and experience.

Had a good laugh on that one.

Oh and I did not vote as there was not an option that fit, sorry.

Which is why they are excluded.

Seems independent thinking is far too dangerous a weapon for the two major parties to allow to be used against them, and there is way too much at stake (I believe well beyond what any of us regular people believe) for anyone currently in power to chance the loss of that power.
 
Can anyone give an honest answer to a question that is comparing a President who had 8 years to effect this country to one who has had just his first 8 months & took over a nation on the verge of it's 2nd great depression? (opinion:...Largely caused by the policies/Ineptness of his predecessor) Could that possibly be meaningful at all?

I'd go with neither if I could. They each have some unique things I dislike, and they share some things I dislike. On the things they share, Obama is worse than Bush on. I also at least liked a few more things Bush did than Obama. So I voted Bush.

Granted, this is like voting between being punched in the gut and getting a titty twister.
