Bush didn't try to be a stage actor, and he mean what he says.
 
I would not say I like either, but I dislike Obama much less than I dislike Bush.
 
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy ... I mean, that's a storybook, man."

- Joe Biden
 
Both are masks to expand government, no neither option?
 
You're missing an option:
"neither".
Or you can ask
"Which president do you like more?"

Actually, a better question would be
"Which president do you dislike less?"
 
Statist stooge A or Statist stooge B. Decisions Decisions. At least Bush didn't expand government as much
 
I don't really like either of them. It's especially hard to tell because Obama has been in office for so short a time. However, he has not done a single thing I like yet, whereas Bush had his ups and downs. So I voted Bush.
 
I wish this poll was not anonymous. I would love to see who actually would vote for Bush. I've noticed there haven't been many that actually post and admit it.

I dislike them both.


Bush is a fake Texan and too much like his Northeastern Liberal Rebub Father. Probably would have made a "good" Senator but he is not a good president.

Obama may very well have been born in this country but is culturally not American meaning he really doesn't understand the average American that the typical Lib-bot would.

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

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.

By 2012 there wont be one american willing to admit they voted for obama... well, maybe you.
 
It's early days yet to compare a 2 term Prez with a 1st-year Prez. I frankly and honestly don't have a lot of use for either one.

Bush did a few things I supported. He did several things I disliked. He did a couple of things that made my head explode (McCain-Feingold, Patriot Act). The main reason I don't flat out despise him is because of certain things he didn't do.

From what I've seen, Obama is the most far-left pres we've had in my lifetime or longer (associations with Ayers and other insanely radical leftists), as dishonest as any (Chicago politics to the bone), and just about everything he's tried to do so far are things I oppose (UHC).


You could flush them both for all I care, but if I had to pick one I suppose I'd take Bush... if I can have a gridlocked
Congress along with it to keep his excesses in check. Bush's chief virtue was that he wasn't Gore or Kerry, really. Other than that he didn't really have a lot to recommend him.

But we'll see. Bush had 8 years to frack up, Obama's only had part of 1 year so far.
 
I voted for Bush, because right now I consider all things equal between the two and the tie breaker is that Bush throws a better baseball.
 
I voted for Obama. I agree with more of his agenda than I did Bush's. We'll see where we are on 2012, and who the alternatives are then as to whether or not I vote for him again. If the election were held today, I would still vote for Barack Obama without a doubt.
 
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.

That is something I greatly respected in Bush. Obama whines like a child which PROVES how ill-prepared he is for this presidency. He makes himself seem weak. I mean seriously, every president should understand the job description before running for office. I guess he was too busy to campaigning.

What problems did he inherit from the previous administration?

The clinton administration? Are you kidding me? Among many issues with his administration, he mostly sat on his hands in a time of prosperity when he could have easily amplified our flourishing economy. Oh, and there was the knowledge of an imminent terrorist attack thing too...
