The Hilarity of George W. Bush..

[depotoo]

He also had to deal wih the Chinese taking our air force plane and our men hostage at the beginning of his Presidency.

Guffaw!

Just to be "fair and balanced"...
The majority vast majority of the 100,000 Iraqis were killed by the terrorists.
It turns out that the vast majority of civilian deaths are caused by Islamic terrorists, and that very few are from American bombs and bullets. This is because (unlike the terrorists) the Americans aren't in Iraq to kill civilians. ... In 2006, the number of civilians who died in encounters between the Americans and the terrorists was about four times lower than the number of U.S. troops killed. In short, civilians in Iraq aren't dying from the war. They are being murdered by Islamic terrorists."
How many died in Iraq? How many lives did the Iraq war save?

Also... would any one dispute THESE events occurred? Events that NOT ONE President has ever had happen in the 8 year term.
But you Bush bashers will be shown so wrong when historians taking in account the below events that Bush had to contend with will make him a "Great" President!
Recession
Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?

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. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
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.

Check this out: 1,063 Documented Examples of Barack Obama’s Lying, Lawbreaking, Corruption, Cronyism, Hypocrisy, Waste, Etc. - Freedom Outpost

Dan from Squirrel Hill, has updated his list to 1,063 documented examples of Barack Obama's lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc. He began with 252 examples, then quickly grew to 504 and later to 694.
In November 2014, he added more than 200 more examples of the usurper-in-chief's unlawful acts. Today, that number has grown to 1,063.
1,063 documented out right lies. Proof that Obama told us he would LIE to us back in 1995!
This LIE about Benghazi covered up Obama's 32 claims about al-qaeda's demise!

And Remember Obama told everyone he was going to lie.

From Obama's book "Dreams from My Father"...published July 18,1995 we KNEW this liar would say and do anything to get elected...even blaming a lousy video for HIS INCOMPETENCY!
"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned.
People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.
They were more than satisfied. They were revealed.
Such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."

Only people who are congenital fools for Obama now realize he was going to lie!
After all he told us HE was an angry black man!
