You mean how did a guy inherit 4% unemployment, a 400 Billion dollar surplus, peace and prosperity...
ANd manage to turn that in 8 years to 10% unemployment, a trillion dollar deficit, multiple, unwinnable wars, and the worst recession in 80 years.
"Oh, wait. It's Congress' fault. And I think there are some democrats there!"
You know, one of Bush's predecessors had a sign that said "The Buck Stops Here".
Bush was a **** up and a clown. But please nominate his brother.
I guess you forgot 9/11 and the impact that had on the country.
the debt was 10T when bush left, its 17T today and will be over 20T when obama leaves----------so tell us again, who did the most deficit spending.
the so-called clinton surplus was an accounting trick, even the CBO has acknowledged that.
Why not just tell the truth? you don't like Bush, you don't have reasons, you just don't like him-----------and thats just fine, try it, tell the truth, you might enjoy it.
I'm against "No child left behind"
Also the Bush tax cuts were blatantly favoring wealthy people...big time.
He stopped Stem Cell research.
Medicare part D was unfunded, and had a giant donut hole that led a lot of people bankruptcy.
The USA PATRIOT Act was probably the primary source of the current NSA crisis, so a lot of the NSA crap can be blamed on Bush, not really Obama.
Terrible cabinet members to oversee government regulations of the financial sector, also bad decisions about allowing torture to occur, I'm willing to bet he knew about it all along.
Horrible handling of Katrina
Terrible VP, I mean it....I really hate the guy.
I'll admit the 2008 financial meltdown can't squarely be blamed on Bush...in a lot of ways you can say "it was going to happen". Presidents don't decide the economy. But then again you can say that things could've been handled better those 6 years from 2001-2006
OK, good, we finally have someone with the guts to submit a list.
So, lets review each of them, shall we?
No child left behind seems to have worked in many minority districts, Ok if you don't like it, but many do.
The Bush tax cuts cut taxes for everyone that pays taxes, not just the rich, Obama continued them, so they are now the obama tax cuts, are you still opposed?
Stem cell research should go on, but using fetal tissue for it bothers many people
Medicare part D is part of the total medicare funding, If more people were working and paying taxes, there would be no shortfall, but you are correct.
The Patriot act may have saved YOUR life, obama kept it in force and actually expanded it. Do you hate obama for that?
The Bush cabinet was the most diverse in history, are you saying that minorities have no place in the president's cabinet?
I lived through Katrina, the problems were caused by the mayor and governor, not Bush. Bush tried to send help early and the idiot governor rejected it, the mayor and governor hated each other, the mayor is not under indictment for corruption and will likely spend time in jail.
You hate Cheney, not my favorite guy either. But he helped win two elections and that is all politicians care about.
The so-called financial meltdown was the result of years of bad policy from both parties, and yes, the president in charge at the time gets the blame, unless the president is obama, he is blameless.
