People now recognizing Bush was a Great President...

[ScienceRocks]

Bush wasn't a great president...Ok? Can anyone understand this.
-He spent us into debt
-He wanted open borders--->He stuck his nose at conservatives!
-He didn't bomb the shit out of terra bora and didn't take care of what should of been taken care of; instead he attacked Iraq. Fucking mess.
-He put together Medicare part d. Conservative? LOL

Obama wouldn't be president today if it wasn't for this son of a bitch.

Presidential historians still have Bush ranked at 34 and Obama at 14. No president has ranked worse than Bush since Republican Warren G. Harding in 1923. Holy shit...

So, Bush was the worst president since Warren G. Harding in 1923. So true...and funny...

 

[editec]

History will document his failures and his successes just as it does with every POTUS.

Real historians will leave the JUDGEMENT to its readers.

You have got to be frigging insane.....

47 per cent think he was a great President. Once again, since when dies 47 per cent constitute greatness? If your child scored 47 per cent on a test in school, would you think that they did great?

You can't judge an incumbent against history.
The present is too visceral.
You need the perspective of distance for both of them before you can truly judge them against each other.

Whatever one thinks of Bush, he is certainly quotable

"The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war."
-- George W. Bush; from remarks at Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. (September 17, 2001)

 

[ScienceRocks]

Honestly what makes Obama better then Bush? Because he didn't stop the home loans? Because he didn't blow off afifuckingstan the planet? Because he couldn't speak will?

What? Honest to good ness why do you think Obama is anything besides a shitty president?

 

[J.E.D]

When Bush started 131,785,000 people employed.
At the end of 2008 136,790,000 people employed or

5,000,000 more employed then when he took office.

All of those jobs in only 8 years! Wow! That's MUCH better than Clinton's 20-something million in 8 years.

Let's give Shrub a break. Not only was he able to give us two unfunded wars, cut taxes twice during a time of war (1st time in history) and just generally spend us broke after Clinton left him a surplus; after all of that he was still able to give us 5 mil jobs (if the op is to be taken at his word)!

Whataguy

 

[Dugdale_Jukes]

great president?? no.. not the evil or stupid or horrible president the far left loonies portray him to be?? yes...

He'll probably go down as yet another slightly below average president who did some good, some bad, and some really meaningless stuff... fiscally horrible, will always be controversy on the 'war'... but truly not as bad as the wingers such as TDM and carby try and portray

For the record, I am not a far left loonie; your problem is resentment of real fiscal conservatives - and for the record you are the fish that took the bait, Mr. Neocon Bluegill. There hasn't been a Democrat president since Truman worth pissing on if they were on fire. The problems are there wasn't an honest Republican after IKE, and Ford was the last president anyone with a three digit IQ could call a Republican. No real Republican would triple the debt in eight years pumping debt-fueled canned heat into the economy and call it a "new economy" success. Only white trash morons led by corporate shills remain stupid enough to do that.

What filthy anti-American fucks like you are is NeoCons. I'd rather be dead than be in the same party as willfully ignorant hypocritical lowlife white trash like you. It tickles me that above you do the Judas thing and admit your hero might not have been perfect. That is so wrong and so pathetically lame from a fucking nutball it is laugh out loud funny.

But not as funny as knowing ignorant white trash like you elected Obama with your vote for the most provably failed by every hard measure president in US history. Your commitment to anti-American neocon bullshit over the United States of America brought us scum like Clinton in 1992 and fools like Obama after 2004. Enjoy the bitter harvest of your malice against the United States, cocksucker. Enjoy.

OBVIOUSLY or there were no people since 2000!
Did any of these events occur or are they ALL a bad dream?
PLUS Obama as all other Presidents NEVER FACED what Bush faced in his 8 years... AND I'D like ANY of you to refute these cataclysmic events!

DID THIS HAPPEN??
1) Dot.com bust cost $5 trillion in lost market value.. this means every year for 30 years now starting in 2000 the federal revenue is over $66 billion written off against taxes owed.
How many people LOST jobs due to the bust??
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 -
and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.
The dot-com bubble: How to lose $5 trillion ? Anderson Cooper 360 - CNN.com Blogs

DID THIS HAPPEN??
2) Did YOU forget that 9/11 occurred and it cost $2 trillion over the next 30 years again $33 billion will NOT BE PAiD.. was that Bush's fault?
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York!!
Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone.
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.
The Top 10 Financial Events of the Decade

DID THIS HAPPEN??
3) $1 trillion in written off losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history!
The worst Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. Andrew slammed into South Florida in 1992 as a Category 5. It caused 40 deaths and $30 billion in property damage. More than 250,000 people were left homeless and 82,000 businesses were destroyed or damaged.
Hurricane Katrina ALONE! Year 2005: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as a strong Category 3 or low Category 4 storm. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Hurricane Rita quickly followed Katrina only to make matters worse. Between the two, more than $200 billion in damage was done. 400,000 jobs were lost and 275,000 homes were destroyed. Many of the jobs and homes were never to be recovered. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and over 1,000 were killed and more are missing. The effect on oil and gasoline prices was long-lasting.

400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita
145,000 jobs in NYC alone due to 9/11
300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts.

Almost 1 million jobs alone from those 3 events

All of this while having almost $100 billion a year in tax revenue due to the above losses !

DID THIS HAPPEN??
4) Economic terrorist attack 9/18/2008 or how the world almost came to the end at 2pm on 9/18/2008.
How close to entire collapse the ENTIRE world's economy was on 9/18/2008 when an economic terrorist attack occurred..

On Thursday (Sept 18), at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the U.S., to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury ...estimation is that by 2pm that afternoon, $5.5 trillion would have been drawn out of the money market system of the U.S., would have collapsed the entire economy of the U.S., and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it."
Zero Hedge: How The World Almost Came To An End At 2PM On September 18

Again all this happened and at the same time the MSM was bashing the President DAILY!

Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,
February 2, 2007.Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters

How can one ignore the FACT that $8 trillion in losses are being written off against tax payments?
How can one ignore that near 1 million jobs were lost DUE to those events?
How can one ignore THAT the results of these events have never been widely share because the biased MSM totally bashes Bush FACTS?
-------------------
When Bush started 131,785,000 people employed.
At the end of 2008 136,790,000 people employed or

5,000,000 more employed then when he took office.

When Bush took office in 2001 GDP was $12.355,271,000,000
when Bush left office in 2008 GDP was $14,359,490,000,000
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A 16% increase in GDP or $2 TRILLION.

ALL of the above GAINS in GDP and people employed IN SPITE of the 4 major world changing events AND the BASHING by the BIASED MSM!
Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.

By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863.
The average Republican contribution was $744.
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | The Daily Caller

Now If 1,160 (85%) of 1,353 employees of ABC,CBS & NBC gave $1.02 million (88%) to Democrats do you think these employees are stupid?
If you don't think they are stupid, then do you think they wanted the Democrats to win?

If they want them to win would they put news favorable or unfavorable to democrats i.e. Obama?
Duh!!!
FACTS:
In 1964, 94% of media professionals voted for Democrat Lyndon Johnson over Republican Barry Goldwater.
In 1968, 86% voted for Democrat Hubert Humphrey over Republican Richard Nixon.

In 1988, White House correspondents from various major newspapers, television networks, magazines, and news services supported Democrat Michael Dukakis over Republican George H.W. Bush by a ratio of 12-to-1.
In 1992, those same correspondents supported Democrat Bill Clinton over the incumbent Bush by a ratio of 9 to 2.
Among Washington bureau chiefs and congressional correspondents, the disparity was 89% vs. 7%, in Clinton’s favor.
In a 2004 poll of campaign journalists, those based outside of Washington, DC supported Democrat John Kerry over Republican George W. Bush by a ratio of 3-to-1. Those based inside the Beltway favored Kerry by a 12-to-1 ratio.
In a 2008 survey of 144 journalists nationwide, journalists were 8 times likelier to make campaign contributions to Democrats than to Republicans.
A 2008 Investors Business Daily study put the campaign donation ratio at 11.5-to-1, in favor of Democrats. In terms of total dollars given, the ratio was 15-to-1.

Nah... there is NO MSM bias against GOP and favoring Democrats!


DID ALL THE ABOVE NOT HAPPEN??

J'ACCUSE!!-hm

1. Obama is probably the dumbest president we've ever had. I mean really dumb. -hm
​

Uh, no, that would be the ratty little cocksucker from Tejas.

2. Wants higher gas and utility prices. -hm​

Strike up the band. You got one right! Obama is a fool for believing that the only way to stimulate investment in new energy venues is penalizing old venues. This is crazy and counterproductive.

On the up side, if the scum of the earth hadn't re elected the most failed president in US history by every hard measure in 2004, there wouldn't be a president Obama today. You nutballs are your own worst enemies.

But I repeat myself...

3. Wants to destroy businesses that employee people and pay taxes! -hm​

Bzzzt! Wild-eyed claims are cool among the nutball element, but rational people understand that Obama simply wants corporations to return to a sense of responsibility to the nation and the communities supporting and protecting them.

4. Obama wants the enemy to have more reasons to kill US troops! How fucking stupid! -hm​

False on its face and by every reputable measure.

Have you compared the hard numbers of attitudes toward the US under The Bush League and then under Obama? Instead of me spoiling your fun and doing that, you can show the folks here what you find on that. Remember, sport, sources matter. We'll be looking for gallup and reports from reputable organizations.

Next.

Bush was ok. Big spender though. I think his numbers are rising because of how bad obama is.

He is still considered the worst president in modern times
