President Bush better than Obama? Definitely.?

[delrico]

Bush Legacies:
1. No terrorist attacks since 911
2. He freed Afghanistan from the Taliban
3. He is the first president who recognized that the old method of appeasement will only embolden the terrorist (contrast it to Bill Clinton)
4. After 911, America lost trillion of dollars that could have bancruft any European country!! We survived that.
5. Under his watch, Libya abandoned its nuclear ambitions
6. Under his watch, he corrected the North Korean problem without going to war
7. Under his watch, three Middle East Countries had democratic elections
8. He educated the west about radical Islamic fascism

Now Obama
-Pros
-Managed to be continue President George W. Bushes program to get Osama Bin Laden.

-Cons

Credit rating down graded, millions unemployed, his attack on corporations, his attempt in increasing taxes, trillions of dollars in dept, crushing hope and change for the worse. Obamacare, illegal military action, extended entitlement programs, high unemployment, 33% increased national debt in 3 years, emphasis on class warfare, wasted green energy funds and the list goes on.

Bush was far greater than Obama could ever hope to be

Thanks!

Bush started a war based on false information because he thought Iraq may do something in the future. ( yes congress helped him by trusting him and giving up their power to declare war)

Bush bailed out:
Bear Stearns 2008 for $30 billion
Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac 2008 for $400 billion
American International Group (A.I.G.) 2008 for $180 billion
Citigroup 2008 for $280 billion
Bank of America 2009 1/15/09 for $142.2 billion
Auto Industry September 2008 $25 billion

Forced Bank of America to acquire Merrill Lynch.

Forced Banks to take TARP money to hide which ones were in trouble.

Bush created the new entitlement program the Medicare drug benefit.

George Bush also had his cronies in the Justice Department write memos granting legal approval to ignore constitutional rights, including First Amendment freedoms of speech and the press and Fourth Amendment requirements for search warrants.

Bush cut taxes while increasing spending by 24% while this country was fighting a war.

Under his administration 500 Gitmo detainees were released many without any trial.

He ignored the war in Afghanistan to the point we lost control.

He ignored this past recession for an entire year until it was out of control.

George Bush sent men and women into combat undermanned and under equipped.

Let’s not forget George Bush filmed a joke about searching for weapons of mass destruction while he had men in the field dying and being injured while searching for weapons of mass destruction.

We were losing over 700,000 to 800,000 jobs per month while Bush was in office and before any of President Obama's policies were passed. Since then we have had month after month of positive private sector job growth.

Exactly! Anything that good that happened under Obama is because it takes time for the Bush policies to work their magic. Anything bad that happened while Bush was president is because there were democrats in congress - and their policies always have an immediate detrimental effect.
I love right wing logic!

Obama is making Bush look good.

[bronsin]

Only an enemy of the USA and the free world supports Bush.

He purposely let the markets crash.

He is an International criminal. Why don't we fly him to Canada and see how good he was.

PG is not an American and wants the brotherhood of Islam to take over. Old man who can not function so hate is his way

I don't fully disagree with you, but just to point a few things out:

1. There have been terrorist attacks inside the U.S. since 911. Bungled by the perpetrators themselves, but they otherwise would have been successful.

2. The Taliban is still strong in Afghanistan.

4. We are still surviving.

6. the North Korean problem is still a problem.

8. Educated, or paranoid? Bush had 70% support from Muslim Americans before 911, his post 911 policies drove the Muslim Americans over to the Democrats, giving Obama 90% Muslim American support.

------------------------

*Credit rating downgrade due to congress not being able to decide on debt.

*I know I sound like a Lib here, but Bush IS partially responsible for that debt, but Obama didn't deliver on his promise to reduce it.

*Illegal military action. Both are guilty of this.

Bush knew that 9/11 was going to happen but let it happen so he could invade Iraq.

4,500 plus DEAD soldiers

100,000 dead Iraqis

over lies so his buddies could get NO BID service contracts.


9/11 (need I say again)

Lost the war in Afganistain

the economy tanked under him

spent months at a time on vacation





obama is no hero either but the credit rating is because the republicans in congress refused to back down on their issues...nothing positive happened..... it was a team effort for the credit

since 8 weeks after Obama took office the stock market has shown month after month gains aside for maybe 4 months


"radical islamic"

Islam and christians believe in the SAME god... it is time people educated themselves
