congrats to GW BUSH

[lamboguy]

it took him 8 years to send this country into paralysis. he basically tried real hard for all the financial institutions to burry us 96 miles underground.

of course he can take credit for blowing up the dow jones for more points than anyone of of his predecessors. he blew it up for about 2500 points. he wrecked the moral fiber of this great country. there are now more home forclosed homes than any other president in the history of this country. along with that we have more homeless people from his administration than any other president before him. more people have lost their jobs than any other president before him. he gave away more tarp money to financial institutions than any president before him.

i personally did not vote for obama, but i can see he is very diferent bush. it seems like he doesn't want to alianate the other side of the isle. he choses to recognise the problems that exist and claims he has some type of solutions for them. i hope he can help lead us thru this mess that we are in now. one thing for sure the bar is not set to high from the prior administration, so it will be real tough to be any worse.

[Lefty]

lamboguy, you're a real demwit.

[Lefty]

Please note things were going pretty good until the Dem congress came along. But of course you attribute none of the mess to them...

A majority of folks who are now "BURRIED" 96 miles underground have only themselves to blame. And you know this to be true.

But hey, go buy another car or house you can't afford. Then blame it on Bush. Then make believe by electing Obama, you won't have to make those payments anymore!

:lol: :lol:
:faint: (as close to vomit guy as I can find right now)

[dav4463]

I like Bush.

[lamboguy]

ever notice how its always the same suspects that answer these post's whenever someone steps up to the plate and exposes the inefficient ways of the last 8 years.

you guys are fooling no one but your selves!!

[Tom]

You exposed something, but it was about you than Bush.
Heeeere's your sign.

[lamboguy]

one thing for sure tom, you might have your political priorities mixed up, but you sure have a good sense of humor.

Exactly. The lending institutions and the people who arrogantly bought things they couldnt afford have only themselves to blame.

They are who i blame for my condo in Cincinnati not being able to sell. George Bush doesnt have anything to do with it, nor does the democrat congress that Lefty loves to speak of so much.

Irresponsible spending and lending.

[Tom]

Talk about irresponsible, Congress is poised to offer bailouts to many already bailed out once and who are now failing again. So far, the only thing congress has done is reward failure and threaten to penalize those who have succeeded.

[mountainman]

A fair observer would probably credit Bush with safeguarding us from terrorist attacks, but characterize most of his presidency as a trainwreck. That said, I don't think Obama has the answers. While I believe he is a good man and admire his ability to unite, I wonder what has he done to inspire such optimism? America won't operate on vague rhetoric about change and hope. It will take strong action and brilliant policies or us to recover. From this point forward, dancing with Ellen DeGeneres won't get it done

[lamboguy]

you are right mountain man mark. life is sometimes all about perception. this guy is expected to do better than the last guy. i must admit, it is pretty tough not to be better since bush lowered the bar on the presidency

Somebody has to counter the baloney.

Everything is GWB's fault...blah blah blah blah blah blah blah....BORING!

[lamboguy]

you miss the whole point pace. i am not blaming him for all the problems, i'm just saying he did a poor job. now maybe he fooled everybody with his actions, maybe he shouldn't have the lowest aproval rating of all time. when you are at 22% approval that is pretty low would you say. to get that low you need republicans along with democrats to disaprove of his job. i think the people that aprove are on this board.

blah blah blah

[delayjf]

I wonder what has he done to inspire such optimism?

He has given two very good speeches?? :jump: :rolleyes:

blah blah blahYou act as if I have been shouting from the rooftops that GWB is the best president ever. Give me a break man.

The absolute, 24/7 BASHING GWB took from the mainstream media (this includes EVERYTHING from the nightly news to DAVID LETTERMAN) from the MOMENT HE TOOK OFFICE IN 2001 has much to do with such a low approval rating. Once the far-left came to the conclusion that GWB STOLE the election, GWB's presidency was DOOMED.

For instance, it is hardly EVER mentioned all the good GWB did for Africa regarding combating AIDS.

You know of NONE of the good things that GWB has done because they have NEVER BEEN REPORTED!

IRAQ was NEVER TALKED ABOUT again in the media once soldiers STOPPED DYING.

Don't give me this 22% garbage.

Public perception and publicity are EVERYTHING, and the media shapes MUCH of this perception. If you don't have the media on your side, you are DESTROYED MERCILESSLY (ala Palin). When you do have the media on your side, you are GOLDEN (ala Obama).

The sad fact is, Obama did NOTHING to EARN this media GOLDENness. In fact, all of Obamas WARTS were glossed over, in addition to him having LITTLE substance prior to being elected.

[lamboguy]

if not for bush, obama couldn't be elected dog catcher vs. mccain. mccain was an outstanding candidate, in normal times he wins.

one thing i do agree with is the approval rating means very little because the people's opinion's are usually wrong, just like in the stock market. you listen to cnbc or fox business they will slant you one way or the other, then you make your move and the sharps bust you out.

but usually when a president is perceived as bad they still get 40%, this guy got a ham sandwich.

he will leave with a legacy that he helped out in africa, maybe did alot to combat the spread of aids, a very important move. and on the other side he fought a war that he didn't win in 7 years, not unlike his predecessors i must say. the patriot act was invented under his reign. we lost some of our rights as citizen's, not really sure if that is good or bad, i do know that the patriot act has been used for things that have nothing to do with terror attacks.

he allowed the financial institutions to pilfer bunches of money from the citizens of this country. i am not saying it started with him, it just continued with him turning head about face.

his solution was to give money to these financial institutions and turn us into a socialist country, maybe not yet, but we are headed there.

bottom line here is that you or marshall or tom or whoever cannot argue these facts. they are there. i personally don't like what has happened along with other republicans. you might be the type of republican that does like our country headed towards socialism, but believe me on this one, you are in the minority on that one.

[Marshall Bennett]

you might be the type of republican that does like our country headed towards socialism, but believe me on this one, you are in the minority on that one.
I don't beleive this at all . Most Americans know that socialism doesn't work . It may be a temporary band-aid for a failing economy but its a plan with no future . People don't want limits placed on their goals to better themselves and thats what socialism does . Its a dead end direction that our children will suffer with .

[Tom]

He has given two very good speeches?? :jump: :rolleyes:

Uh, um, I uh, what, uh, ah, what, uh, two would that, uh, be?
