CNN Poll: Was Bush better president than Obama?

I dont need to get over anything. I am simply trying to find out why we went to war with a country that never attacked us. Now your change your stroy. Now the Iraq war was to free 50 million muslims. Can you please stick to one BS reason at a time. This is the second time you have said I dont see your point so you want to quit. Again, the authorization was given as a LAST RESORT. I watched Colen Powell plead for it.

25 million in Iraq and 25 Million in Afghanistan.
 
NO it's not true, Bush did all his Damage to the Country's 1.3 Trillion Dollar Defict that Obama inherited in 8 Years. Whatever happened to the Clinton Surplus ?? Bush, Cheney, and their Croonies Gangs had No Pity on the Nation and It's People, They spent the Nation's Surplus Money and started the Landslide Victory to the Big Defict we are looking at now... They spent the Nation's Wealth as if there was No Tomorrow.... This is the Root of the Melt-Down that went around the World...
The Bush Administration's Policy was: The Rich Get's Richer, The Poor Get's Poorer and Everybody in the Middle Get's Squeezed Out... These Folks couldn't care less about the average person and what their Greed has done to the Nation !!! It's that simple... Now Does that make sense to you ???

QUOTE=Conservative;1059062079]Nope, but both were part of the deficit and the question is why wasn't the TARP repayment used to lower the deficit? Obama blamed Bush for inheriting a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit and amazingly Bush did that in 4 months. Make sense to you?[/QUOTE]

Spoken like someone right out of Disney World. Do you realize how dumb that statement is, a 1.3 trillion deficit in 8 years inherited? Deficits are yearly so learn what you are talking about before responding. Obama has created almost as much DEBT in two years as Bush did in 8 but don't let that fact get in the way of your rants, carry on
 
25 million in Iraq and 25 Million in Afghanistan.

What about those starving naked kids with flys on them. Why not try to help them instead. Nobody would try to shoot you for feeding children.

How can you be upset at one without being upset at both.

You mean those starving kids that Saddam Hussein refused to provide food to but instead bought loyalty and support from his Republican Guard?

You mean that money from the oil for food program that instead of going to the people for food that went into building his palaces of gold?

Again, I ask you what is your experience with regard to what was going on in Iraq since Saddam Hussein controlled the media until we liberated the country.

Not quite as dumb a statement as this one though. :roll:

Facts have a funny way of making you look foolish. According to the GAO 9/11 cost over a trillion dollars so we spent 100 billion a year to prevent another one. Looks like a pretty good return on that investment.

Still waiting for you to explain how GW Bush had a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit in 4 months, the deficit Obama claims he inherited? Noticed that you also ran from the economic numbers from bea.gov and bls.gov. Like all liberals you have nothing to support and can only attack.

How can you complain about the money President Obama spent without complaining about the money President Bush spent.

So ALL of the children starving in the world were in Iraq. That was convenient.
 
YEAH, Why don't Mr Warmonger Conservative, realize this is another Vietnam, A No Win Situation that is Slowly Bankrupting the U.S.A. and they are Lying about the number of Casualties that has occurred on both sides of the war..
History will show us all one day, we had No Business in the Middle East. So leave these People and their Oil Fields alone and America drive Smaller Cars or get back to the Future with Green Energy and Electric Cars!!! And, Yes We Can !!!

I have complained about the money Bush spent but Obama put Bush spending on steroids. It also should be remembered that Congress controls the purse strings, not the President so Bush didn't spend a dime without Congressional approval. Democrats Controlled the Senate 4 of the 8 years and from January 2007-2008

When you can point me to a specific page at “bea.gov and bls.gov”rather then throwing that generic s*** up as if it were some trump card. Until then, it’s just background noise.:thumbs:

Better do some research because you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. Bush did more on the humanitarian stage than any previous President including massive funding for AIDS treatment in Africa. You really need to do better research and stop buying what you are told. Trust but verify and I have not seen you verify anything you have been told.

I have posted it many times here but as usual you ignore it. Go to BEA.gov and play around on the site, get educated and you might just learn something. The numbers I gave you yesterday came right from that site. You don't believe it? Find it, I gave you the link, bea.gov.

I wonder who has more words in them, the encyclopedia or BEA.gov? My money would be on bea.gov. :shock:

Why don’t you want someone to see, at least the page where you say your info comes from when you cite bea.gov?

Because it would do you some good to do some research on a non partisan site, you might learn something.

I’m an old man, I don’t have time for that s***.

If you find something that you think would help your cause, it seems it would be a courtesy to the aged and decrepit DP,rs that you would at least gently guide/show them what page you got your info from. :(

I posted the data yesterday and today gave you the site to verify the data. Still dodging because the data doesn't support your point of view or the Democrat rhetoric. You can go to GDP growth and put in whatever period you want and you will see economic growth for 52 straight months. You can go to receipts and revenue and see the deficit by quarter and by year. Everything I post comes from that site and can be verified and that is why the liberal rhetoric is so bogus and can be proven to be absolutely false.

What good is 52 straight months of growth if it is flushed down the toilet at the end.

It wasn't totally flushed down the toilet in the end. The economy wasn't nearly as bad as it was when Reagan took over from Carter but the media and Obama made it sound like we were in a depression. That is total and complete bs. Obama lied and continues to lie. His economic policy was a disaster and promoted bailouts of Democrat Constituent groups and massive growth in the size of govt that did nothing to stimulate the economy. A pro business model would have turned this economy around much, much quicker than it did. Obama hasn't made one economic prediction that has been accurate yet seems to be given a pass by the media.

I really suggest you go to the site I gave you and do some research. Check out the economic growth, check out the tax revenues and deficits, check out the components of GDP and compare them all to what Obama has generated. The difference is quite different than you are being told.
 
HEY.... I MIGHT BE OUT OF DISNEY WORLD BUT ARE YOU STILL LIVING THERE ??? 1.3 Trillons Deficit...You had better read again, 4 Months or 8 Years, Yearly or Whatever !!! Where is the Money and why is America broke and borrowing Money from China ??? You said amazingly Bush did it in 4 month and whatever and I said it took all of 8 years to spend the SURPLUS MONEY that Clinton left in the Nation's Piggy Bank .... DOES THAT SOUND like some one out of Disney World or not??? Maybe, but How about this, Bush is the one who also signed the frist check for the Bail-Out Money too... What Did Bush Get Right ??? Nothing !!! Absolutly Nothing !!!! His main success was succeeding in turning the Whole World against the American People and showing how dumb people can be !!!! Now the Americans are looking down the barrel of Anti-American Sentiments And YOU CAN THANK BUSH for this too...

You really need to go back to school, take a civics class, learn to do some research at non partisan sites and verify all the rhetoric you are being told. It would be a waste of time for me to try an educate you.

but just a couple of issues, Of course your indoctrination hasn't told you but most of the TARP money has been repaid. Too bad Obama didn't apply it where it belonged, against the deficit. As for anti American sentiments, the countries that matter had a lot more respect for us under Bush than they do now. France, Germany, and Britain are undoing years of socialistic policy as Obama is embracing it. Chirac, Schroder were nightmares and were thrown out of office, Merkel and Sarkovy both were strong Bush supporters and are not Obama supporters so you really don't have a clue what you are talking about.

WOW!!! Here you go again with your ranting against the Obama-Nation...all this BLA BLA from you and the ONLY POINT you got Right was: The difference is quite different than you are being told. You haven't made one prediction or statement that has been accurate... Where do you get your Information ??? Fox News Networks ???
