What about the trillions in debt from stupid tax cuts for the rich?
The couple of thousand dead from neglect after Katrina?
The tens of thousands dead and maimed in Iraq?
The trillions lost rebuilding Iraq.
The.......well, you get the picture.
DID THIS HAPPEN???
Oh and did I mention along the way when "Mission Accomplished" occurred after less then six weeks of combat in May 2003.. 10 years ago..
that over 1 million Iraq people were saved from starving?
50,000 people a year were starving under Saddam and when he was removed, (by the way at the request of Kerry,Pelosi, and 90% of the 28 million Iraqis)
the UN mandated embargo was removed.
Healthmyths is seriously ill/sick in the head. Not because of his views, but because he has like a five thread repertoire that he keeps repeating over and over and over. Disgusting.
Benghazi and irs have no bearing on obama. Ive seen all of issas hearings - no lino to obama in either case.
Healthcare fiasco is a legit concern. Consisten 7% unemployment = legitimate concern.
Irs & benghazi are not his doing.

Oh, it's because of his views as well.
I like this crazy exercise of reasoning that Bush was a great president because you can dismiss all the bad things that happened during his presidency as being out of his control.
Of course, for those of us who know that the Iraq war was a bad thing...
GW presided over not securing the Southern border, thus driving down wages for Blue Collar workers.
GW presided over the largest increase in business visas in history resulting in millions of skilled engineers and software developers losing their jobs.
But most importantly, you don't get to average out 8 years when you leave the nation in it's worst economic meltdown in history.
GW will go down as one of the 3 or 4 worst presidents ever.
You are making a judgement on the Best POTUS on the basis of BUSINESS VISAS???
Be real.
And you'll never believe Obama's important role in the 2008 meltdown.
Fact Check: Obama Had More to Do With 2008 Economic Meltdown Than Bush Ever Did
Heres something youll never read about in the liberal media.
Barack Obama played a leading role in the mortgage crisis of 2008 that sunk the US economy.
In his early activist days, Barack Obama the community organizer sued banks to ease lending practices.

State Sen. Barack Obama and crackpot priest Michael Pfleger led a protest in Chicago in January 2000. (NBC 5 Week of January 3, 2000)
In 1994, Barack Obama was one of the plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, alleging that Citibank had engaged in practices that discriminated against minorities. The lawsuit forced the bank to ease its lending practices.
The Daily Caller reported:
President Barack Obama was a pioneering contributor to the national subprime real estate bubble, and roughly half of the 186 African-American clients in his landmark 1995 mortgage discrimination lawsuit against Citibank have since gone bankrupt or received foreclosure notices
Obama has pursued the same top-down mortgage lending policies in the White House.
Obamas lawsuit was one element of a national anti-redlining campaign led by Chicagos progressive groups, who argued that banks unfairly refused to lend money to people living within so-called redlines around African-American communities. The campaign was powered by progressives moral claim that their expertise could boost home ownership among the United States most disadvantaged minority, African-Americans.
Then theres Bush
On the flip side, President George W. Bush warned the Democratic Congress 17 times in 2008 alone about the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties.
Unfortunately, these warnings went unheeded, as the Presidents repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems.
To this day Barack Obama blames Bush for the 2008 economic meltdown.
The truth is, it was Obama not Bush who destroyed the economy.
Fact Check: Obama Had More to Do With 2008 Economic Meltdown Than Bush Ever Did | The Gateway Pundit
That's one of the funniest rightwing myths of all time.
So, basically:
If W did ANYTHING, the lolberals attacked him and derided him for it.
But if Obumbler does the same things or other things which are palpably stupid, the lolberals suddenly lose their voices.
W uses a drone = "bad."
Obumbler uses a drone = "good."
And lolberals can't figure out why they are recognized as being meritless.

Dispel it with facts if you can.

Liberals who oppose drone use attack Obama all the time. Where have you been?

Indeed. It is one of the dumbest myths ever. The derivatives bubble was GLOBAL.
But this is all on the darkies!
The negroes of Iceland brought down that country's banks.
The black Irish (black Irish, get it?) brought down Allied Irish Bank and the Bank of Ireland and the other Irish banks.
Obama brought down the Royal Bank of Scotland, the German banks, the Italian banks, the Spanish cajas.
Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley. Guess which one was subject to the CRA?
NONE of them! And they dominated the secondary mortgage market. They built their own supply chains of brokerages to keep their pipelines flowing so they could build toxic CDOs to sell to your 401k manager and your city treasurer and your state's public employee pension fund manager and your college endowment fund manager. They kept these people flush with hookers and blow so they would buy Wall Street's toxic shit.
The demand for this shit was so high that Wall Street ran out of good risk borrowers and began actively seeking anyone with a pulse in order to keep the fees coming in for managing the CDOs they sold to the rubes.
No one was holding a gun to their head. They were holding a very large campaign cash gun to Congress and the White House's heads to keep the party going.
Bush's SEC even unanimously granted a captial reserve waiver to the big five broker dealers in 2005, and this was one of the chief causes for their collapse in 2008.
While Bush was busy enlarging ever government department, and even creating a whole new cabinet level department, he shrank only two agencies during his administration. The SEC and the EPA.
So, yeah. That myth is one of the more hilarious ones.

And aside from the fact that the sign was, in essence, correct because the major combat operations HAD concluded and were successful, it was the SAILORS aboard the carrier who came up with the idea of the sign.
Not the White House.

Major combat operations had concluded? Wasn't the surge in 2007 a major combat operation?
What was the casualty count at the time of Bush's aircraft carrier self-congratulation?
Well maybe if you are about 15 years old with a terminal illness and about 6 months to live.
Otherwise -- not so much.
Actually i dont hate bush the way a lot of people do but he wasnt a good president. he cant get away from his weapons of mass destruction screwup (i beleive it was a huge error, not a lie as those on the left insist) and he also lost the support of a lot of his base. His political operation was so inept it helped pave the way for Barrack Obama much the way Caret did for Reagan. I think he is a very nice gracious well-intended man. But he was not a great president and i dont see how he will ever be viewed as one. History tends to be kinder on all presidents but he wont be seen as great or even very good im sad to say.
