Bush leaves us in worse financial shape than we imagined

[KittenKoder]

Hell no, Bush was no worse than any other President in any way. That is why we succeeded in Iraq and Afghanistan so quickly, and why the economy is in such rosy shape.

Really?

Iraq was a problem BEFORE Bush.

The economic meltdown has been coming for decades. That started before Bush as well.

The Taliban harbored bin Laden and refused to turn him over after 9/11. They got what they deserved.

That would be strike three, you're out. Better luck next time.

Sr. handled Iraq perfectly, Jr. fucked it up. But the country was never really a problem.
Everyone just loves to blame the economy on the government though, ever notice that, when in reality it's everyone's fault.

Iraq was a problem before Bush Jr.? You mean they were an immenant danger with all the WMD that they did not have?

Yup, the Taliban harbored Bin Laden. And after 9-11, Bushie sure took both of them out. Right? That is why Bin Laden is alive and free today, over 7 and a half years after 9-11. Why the Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan? I wish the Taliban had gotten what it deserved. Instead, what Bush gave it was a second chance. And the Taliban has not wasted that chance. Controls more of Afghanistan than our puppet government does.

Your poster child for idiocy and incompetancy has demonstrated that you can indeed strike the United States of America a greivous blow, and get away with it. Aren't you proud of that record?

Good grief people. Do you think Bush did this to the whole world? Given our lack of influence these days, how do you think he could have pulled that off? This economic situation is not just a U.S. problem and the sources of problems began long before Bush came to office and it involves the whole world. Some economic theorists came up with a new fangled idea, everyone jumped on board leaving a lot of common sense at the train station, and here we are. Now it's time to get back to basics and it's going to hurt.

WASHINGTON — For his first annual budget next week, President Obama has banned four accounting gimmicks that President George W. Bush used to make deficit projections look smaller. The price of more honest bookkeeping: A budget that is $2.7 trillion deeper in the red over the next decade than it would otherwise appear, according to administration officials.

Looking on the bright side--2.7 trillion makes the stimulus look small.
