How has Obama performed worse than Bush? Given that most of what Obama has done and attempted to do was a direct result of what he inherited, and much of it has continued the policies begun under Bush?
What has President Obama done, or not done, for you to conclude he is worse? You may disagree with "Obamacare" but what we got was a camel, not the horse we needed and that was a result of the special interests who benefit from the status quo pouring lots of money into the Republican camp.
We've got what, 2 or 3 million fewer employed than we did when when Obama took over, and I don't give a fuck what Bush did. All I care about is what works, and what Obama has tried has not worked. We came out of a bad recession but have not progressed, we've even slumped backwards. We may not have a double dip, but we're barely keeping out of one. That is unacceptable in my book. You can blame the repubs all you want, but the buck stops at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.
Seriously, you really think the GOP had anything to do with what was in ObamaCare? That's pretty lame dude, you're not going to take any responsibility at all for what has transpired since Jan 2009, are you?
You actually believe the Congress didn't have an effect on the final health care bill? I find that incredible.
Most of us who supported reform supported a single payer system and universal prentative care. This trouble the special interests who profit on the misery of others. Do we have the best health care in he world? Yep. Is it available to all? Nope. Hence I characterize those who stonewalled and waterdowned the final product callous conservatives.
I think you've lost touch with reality, of course Congress had an effect. Hell, Pelosi and Reid and the dems in Congress created it and passed it by themselves without a single repub vote. And you want to try and blame the repubs for it's shortfalls? What a load of crap!
You really think the GOP had anything to do with stonewalling or watering it down, that is pure nonsense. They couldn't stonewall jackshit and you know it, nor could they have any impact at all with whatever the dems put in there. The ACA passed without a single repub vote, if it has problems or was watered down then that's entirely on the democrats who had over a fuckin' year to get it right. Don't give me this bullshit about the GOP, the dems own that piece of crap 100%.
