To bad the Constitution didn't have a clause in it to prevent an asshole like Bush from being President I'd take Obama over Bush any day,so would the American people which is why they voted for Obama rather then Bush #2/McCain
Do you realize that the Iraq war is probably the biggest foreign policy mistake in this country's history Maybe Obama doesn't understand the dynamics of foreign policy,but I think he understands that you don't attack a country that didn't attack The US and was not a threat to the US.In case you forgot,Obama was against the Iraq war from the beginning
Don't worry jficquette is one of the few bush hold outs. He probably believes bush did a "heck of a job"
Quote from jficquette: A Dynamic no one talks about is that he lived as a Muslim until he was 10 in Indonesia. Indonesia is anti American. This means that for most of his formative years he lived in an environment that was anti American and anti capitalistic with a Muslim No, Obama lived in Indonesia 4 years. His mother took him there when he was 6 years old, then he left when 10 years old. 2 years he was in a catholic school in Indonesia, and 2 years in Basuki school that was not muslim extreme school, but a public school.
I don't understand those guys,they slam Obama and would rather have Bush or Bush #2 /McCain in office Most Presidents who are considered bad Presidents wreak the economy or make bad foreign policy or National security mistakes,its usually just one or the other Bush Wreaked the Economy,Allowed the biggest terrorist attack in this country's history,and made what might be the biggest foreign policy mistake in this country's history by attacking a foreign country that did not attack us and was no threat to The US I cant think of any former President that fucked up the economy,national security and foreign policy I don't agree with everything Obama is doing,but the choice was between Obama and a Bush clone,I'd take Obama every time
It is anyone's guess. I think it has something to do with coming to grips that your entire worldview is wrong. Those people were the ones who genuinely believed in Bush (LOL!) and when it all inevitably came crashing down they want to lash out at anyone who thinks differently. They want to trash obama and want him to fail to affirm their own flawed beliefs. When I saw Bush's administration winding down I was angry at how much long term damage one person could inflict to the country and the world. I never had any doubts that Bush's "victory" in 2000 would be really bad for the country I just could not foresee it would be such a catastrophe.
Bush will be considered a great prez when history is written 50 years from now. I don't expect anyone like you to understand that.
On what grounds ? Allowing the biggest terrorist attack in this nations history happen on his watch ? Making one of the biggest foreign policy mistakes in the country's history with the Iraq war ? Causing the worse US economy since the great depression ?

Don't waste time with people like jficquette. When someone says bush will be viewewed as a great president, mentally mark them as hopelessly stupid and ignore them forever. They are not worth the time.
