Yeah, I get it that you hated him vehemently from day one. You're just like the hard core Republicans who hate Obama
But the facts are the facts. I can't change history and neither can you.
President Obama's administration is crashing and burning because of the economy and he doesn't seem to know what to do about it.
Which is why he pivoted almost immediately to ObamaCare and then floundered a couple of months ago when ObamaCare came out the gate a disaster by trying to pivot to "Immigration Reform".
It ain't gonna work. The President's popularity will come roaring back IF the economy does. And today's huge drop in the stock market after bad reports from the auto industry on new car sales can't help.
As far as Bush goes...you have to remember that your extreme views don't represent the "general public".
If they did then MSNBC would be trouncing FNC in the ratings...instead of the other way around.  |
You do understand by the end of Bush's last term the economy had collapsed and he had signed off on bail outs.. The economy wasn't good under Bush he was just propping it up with loans from China and there was no economy to support the massive spending spree he was on.
You can't have two wars and no economic boom or extra tax revenue to cover the costs. Bush put it all on a credit card with the bank of China.. Every other war in history with the exception of the 91 Iraq war has required extra taxes to pay for it. Republicans however somehow think that we can start two wars and no one has to pay for it until a Democrat gets in office and can be blamed.
