This isn't about Bush... It's about Obama, his promises, "Yes We Can", etc..
So?

Obama DID understand the mess that Bush left and vowed to correct the situation.. Has he?.. No,
You expected Obama to right Bush's mess overnight? His first week? His first month? His first term?
in fact, one could make the argument that it's getting worse.
So? Sometimes things get worse before they get better.

Some people have become fully accustomed to non-performing elected public officials and constantly beg more time for them to get a job done that the rest of us know full well they have no intention of doing. Politicians are liars Anna, I'm sorry you finally had to hear that. Perhaps a nice bottle or two of your house wine this afternoon would sooth your delicate trod upon sensibilities.

Good point!.. Afterall, why let those pesky little election promises get in the way when you can blame Bush in perpetuity.

That's what he said he'd do, but as we are seeing, it appears that he's turning a 2-alarm fire into a 20-alarm fire.

Obama is the best thing that happened to the US after Bush. Obama will do a second term, and America will immerge as having the best President serve them with honour and dignity. Bush ruined American dignity. He led them to a war that was purely designed on a lie.

Still moaning about people mentioning Bush as having something to with how Obama is conducting the presidency? tsk tsk

So it looks like Obama is driving towards a cliff? Who is to say that he doesn't turn before then? Who is to say a bridge won't be built by the time he gets there? Who says there isn't a hidden road down the cliff?:roll:

Here's an analogy for you:
A guy manages a plot of land for some people. On the land is a building that the previous manager had let run down and so the people that own it fired him. New manager wants to erect a new building. He tears the old building down and people like you see the mess and want the new manager hung.

A guy buys a plot of land. On the land is a building that the previous owner had let run down. New owner wants to erect a new building. He tears the old building down and people like you see the mess and want the new owner hung.

It's never going to be any better than its foundation despite the importance you place in paint and trim.

That's a narrow-minded viewpoint. If someone wants to build a house that's a different plan than the old house, would it make sense to put the new house on the old foundation? That's just stupid.

If I were allowed to vote, I would have said Reagan too, just for the fact that he was harmless as a fly while being entertaining at the same time. Ahh, nothing like those Reagan Gobachev days during the cold war...

My favorite thing about the Reagan administration: When Ronald would make tiny Nancy walk that huge dog they had.

Obama is reaching into the future, stealing our childrens money, and throwing it like confetti hoping somehow it will work. Pelosii and Obama are using the crisis as a giant social experiment, they have no idea what the hell they are doing. This is all one big blind faith mess of an attempt to turn America into a European style socialist nation and its utterly failing.

Obama is using "trickle down spending"...he is throwing BILLIONS at corporations and executives hoping it will all trickle down to you and I. . What a miserable failure

OBAMA. WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER.

What do you think

But didn’t the conservatives also say this about Carter, wasn’t he the worst president ever? Or are you saying that Obama is even worse than Carter? Also, didn’t they say the same thing about Clinton when they were impeaching him? Wasn’t he the worst president ever?

It seems that according to some, there have been several worst presidents. They have all been so bad that it is difficult to decide which is the worst among the lot, so they are all regarded as the worst presidents ever. Obama, Clinton, Carter, Kennedy, Johnson, Truman, FDR and so on.

Also, there have been several very good, best presidents. Indeed, they have all been so good, that it is difficult to decide who was better among them, so they are all regarded as the best presidents ever.

They are Bush, Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Ford, Eisenhower etc.

So worst according to whom? According to somebody’s biased political opinion?

wow For someone claiming to be military, you sure haven't a clue about political history. And here I was thinking that the Canadian military was pretty choosy about who it let in.

Reagan harmless? rofflmfao

the health care reforms is not gonna work at all my friend.
its just gonna take more money from us the citizens that pay taxes and It shows that the reforms won't fundamentally change the runaway pace of US health spending including both public and private-sector dollars. With or without reform, the overall US medical bill will account for about 21 percent of gross domestic product in 2019, or 3 percentage points higher than today, according to a recent analysis done within the Health and Human Services Department. so this is just a wack reform thats just gonna hurt our country BAD!

That is your opinion only. Opinion about health care reform splits along political lines. Democrats say it will help the country, Republicans say it will hurt the country. We will just have to wait and see.
