Are you mourning or celebrating? I think Chris Rock said it best; Bush fucked up so bad, even a white guy couldn't win! All joking aside, Barak Obama is the 44th president, and I voted for him. I hope things get better.

A legacy is what you leave behind, so we will be dealing with the mess that is the Bush Legacy long after he leaves office. :(

I couldn't agree with you more Felicia. I think the word "mess" sums up the past eight years perfectly.Quote:

Bush was interesting to say the least only time will tell if the war was a success or a failure but I wish Obama luck.
Obama brought in left overs from the bush and clinton teams as his advisors so expect the same. Obama is just another corporate candidate. Prepare to be disapointed.
Tick tock ... I think last orders at the bar, gentlemen ... it's time.Quote:

I've actually been feeling my first bit of pity for him in the last few weeks, seriously.

Only time will tell it was a horrible, abject failure because Bush and his crew never would. Even now, they refuse to concede any mistakes.

I agree that people should give Obama a chance, although I didn't vote for him. Bush wasn't a bad president. The only thing that seem to get people wild up was the war. America got attacked and since then there hasn't been any attacks. Bush legacy will not be looked at as being bad, but it won't be looked at as great either.Quote:

Obama has turned his back on a 100 million poor people.Quote:

But the rest of us ordinary folks will be happy to see if Obama can do better. I don't think he can do worse.
Either way, Obama's got one bitch of a clean-up ahead of him. Since the US is Canada's best customer, I wish him all the success in that endeavor, but we shall see....
Actually you're probably a Clinton lover who was actually IMPEACHED. Why don't you quit your bong smoked induced psycho babble and realize that it's not president Bush that fucked things up. It's all you retards on welfare that try to buy houses and the others who don't even know what a savings account is.Quote:

For example, to require more capital from banks (of all kinds) and insurance companies to back up their "gambling". Also, mortgage lenders should be required to suffer the first losses, instead of packaging their mortgages into CDOs with various "tranches" or risk/reward and selling these to investors. I'll admit I'm not a financial expert, but it seems regulation was too lax under Bush -- although the problem's origins goes way back in time and there's lots of blame to go around.
obama fooled the country. he has done nothing for the state of illinois. he has no talent only his tongue. he got elected by whites where the blacks will take all the credit. he has no record in a high ranking office. and this country voted him to the highest.
shame on all of you.
This is the same country that was fooled by and voted Bush to the highest ranking office, not only once, but twice! The lies he and Cheney, Rumsfeld and Powell touted in attempt to gain support to defy the UN to invade Iraq should have been scrutinized before tipping the country into a downward spiral. The sensless war in Iraq will end up costing over 3 Trillion dollars after the interest is factored in..... It was all borrowed money.Quote:

Sorry, I gave Bush a clear chance.
Anyone who is defending him still OBVIOUSLY voted for him twice and is living in denial of their guilt in the complicity of putting him in office.
I mean, that Os-bama picture. How retarded can you get?
Oooh, that sells me in Obama being terrible. Forget how Bush trainwrecked this country (just like everything he's done in his life, btw - from baseball teams to oil companies) but go all over that "liberals are the devil incarnate" Rush Limbaugh braindead cliche.
I am a libertarian, being a billion times more 'conservative' than Bush was and utterly confident that he is THE worst president this nation has ever had.
Actually THE worst thing in this nation is people with your misinformed state of mind. O lets all blame president Bush...just like everything else is this country. Why do you think everyone sues everyone in this country? Because no one wants to take the blame...they want a scape goat. It's morons like you that make Bush public enemy #1.Quote:

Go get on your soap box when you actually know a thing or two about how a free market economy and the government works.
I do believe, gr4phic4rtist08, it was Bush who announced the “ownership society” and put the program in motion that would make everyone a home owner.Quote:

It could be [the fact] that Bush appointed federal regulators, who didn't believe in regulation and who approved the use of nonsensical financial tools and derivatives had something to do with our current economic predicament.
You want specific examples? Patriot Act 1 and 2,which gives the government the right to go thru your financial records, your medical records, your email, your regular mail, tap your phone, intercept your cell calls, with 0 oversight or judicial permission needed. The severe overweighting of the Executive Branch, making the checks and balances on which our country is based a joke. The Military Commissions Act of 2006, which makes it ok for the government to take anyone they want and put them in a hole with no legal redress to their situation, just to accuse someone of being a terrorist is enough. RIP Habeus Corpus. The MCA also had a rider tacked onto it making it impossible to prosecute anyone in the Bush Administration for war crimes, now you dont tack shit like that on unless you know you committed war crimes.Quote:

/facepalm to douchebags like you, team sport politicos who blindly mouth the rhetoric of ersatz dictators.
Are we there yet?
anyone who believes that 1 man controls a 10 trillion dollar economy is a moron, sure his policies can guide it and Bush screwed up by not cutting the spending. the congress, both democrat and republican legislators have been paying thier constituants off with pork with our money. bush screwed up the war, bush screwed up katrina, as did the people running louisiana, but there is enough blame to go around to all our wonderful politicians and greedy corporations. obama has a mess on his hands that was some of bush's fault and some that has been building for decades.
He did get Saddam out of there. Something pops could'nt do lol.
Yeah,and Bin Laden still walks the planet.

I have two cousins that want to make a career in the military. Both are young, and nieve in my opinion, although they have been training for the conflict in Iraq since 2003. They won't listen to me. They want to fly hellicopters and fighter planes in the Middle East.
Bush and Obama both suck. One is a fascist and the other a socialist. But who am i to complain about the choice of president made by my fellow american sheeple . My apologies to those people who aren't sheeple.
They are not sheeple.
