People on here from the left want to blame GW for the meltdown. Well, you can if you want to say he didn't prevent it, but the real driver behind the meltdown was Barney Frank. Ever wonder why he retired, lol.
As far as Obama or GW being better or worse, who cares, they both stunk econically. Neither republicans or democrats have sole possession of good, or bad, ideas or Presidents. Were it not for a few tax cuts, we could all say we have had GW or Obama in office for 16 years. If you like Obama, you must also like Bush; blasphemy I know, but besides 2 wars, what exactly is the difference in performance? Not much. You can/could claim Obama has done better if you like, but then I have to say he should have being allowed to spend 3 times as much.
The real question is...........do you want more Bush Obama for another 4 years? Or rather, do you wish a different approach?
If anyone wants to check, since Reagan we have started moving left. Clinton had a very good economy, but as some of his left got put in, we went into recession at the end, and been going left and down ever since. Always remember, Clinton dealt with the contract with America republicans, and between them, they came damn close to balancing the budget. Sure, a few accounting tricks were used, but notice that today; even with accounting tricks, they can't get withing 5 football fields of even attempting to say we are close. That is BOTH partys!
So I say........it is NOT the moniker over the head of the candidate, it is what they will do, or attempt to do; and if they are going to do the same damn thing that GW and Obama did while spending us into oblivion, let illegals in to soak up our tax dollars, screw business so they want to leave, then why would any thinking American (notice I said AMERICAN, not illegal alien) vote for that?
Ignorance is doing the same thing over, and over, and over again, and expecting different results. What is even more ignorant, is claiming that because one person has an R, and one person has a D in front of their name but almost did exactly the same thing economically, that one was good, and was bad; when everyone with 1/2 a brain is well aware, they BOTH SUCKED!
