Why do the conservatives on this board think Bush was a better president than Obama?

[Billy000]

Considering Bush is responsible for 10 trillion of the debt and 2008 was the worst year for our economy, I have a hard time believing it.

 

[DiamondDave]

No.. Bush was not responsible for 10T in debt.. and our economy was still indeed very bad during Obama's reign... and Obama implemented many things that are more horrid that what Bush II did... (Obamacare, etc)

Bush was no great Pres... I even rank him lower in my lifetime than Clinton (and I am a conservative and registered REP).... but Obamalama is indeed worse

Okay show me the facts. Show me the stats that break down that 16 T that show Obama is responsible for the large majority of it

Most of the 8 years below 6% unemployment
A much firmer foreign policy.
He didn't try to divide people into class, race, etc.
His deficits were 100-600 billion compared to over a trillion for Obama.
Cheaper Oil/gas prices overall(95% of the time)

A few things that makes Bush better.

What you don't understand is that even though the bulk of the debt accumulated during Obama's admin, it does not mean that it came from Obama's policies. What I want is a break down of the debt.

Considering Bush is responsible for 10 trillion of the debt...

Obama has already borrowed more than Bush.
Obama has also continued or expanded just about every Bush policy that He ran against.

10 trillion of the debt

sheesh, the loony liberal can't even start off with an honest OP

where bush is better than obama is that he believed in a smaller federal government, not by much, but smaller nonetheless.

Obama signed the FY2009 budget and every spending bill put to him after that.
Thus, every penny of the spending since He took office is His responsibility.

yet you attribute all debt during Bush to Bush.... uh huh

Obama has T+ deficits... this is fact... it is under his watch.. this is fact... Bush timeframe about 6T was added to the debt... in 8 years... the same for Obama.. in 4

You are so wrong and so hyper-partisanly full of shit, it is not even funny

Tax break is not an expense.. this has been explained before... Bush's problem was that fiscally he spent like a lefty.. Obama's problem is that he spends like 3 lefties combined into 1

Bush took office with the debt being around 5.6 trillion in 2000. He left with nearly 10 trillion..

What was the national debt before Bush took office and what is it now? - Yahoo! Answers

Over 16 today or 6 billion in 4 years. Obama has spent more in 4 years then Bush did in 8.

I have no problem with the president spending on infrastructure, science and technology. This president is spending on god knows what. That's the problem.

George Bush contributed greatly to this nation's future by preventing Gore and Kerry from becoming our Commander in Chief. That alone should earn him our enduring gratitude.

Besides that, Bush could make decisions, without first seeing which way the political winds were blowing.

Bush wouldn't have gone to bed while four Americans were dying in Libya.

You refuse to accept the truth.
