It impossible to discuss these two presidents rationally. Bush lied. Expanded presidential powers to an unprecedented extent, led the country into an unneccessary war by lying to us an set himself up as a divine king answering to no one.
His administration was cynical secretive and corrupt.
Obama has made some mistakes. He came in with such promise and he hasn't been radical enough.
The claim that President Bush "lied" is often made, but it has never (not once, ever) been substantiated. And I am curious: with links and
valid support, could anybody offer any kind of evidence that President Bush "lied?" And, putting aside the trite claim that he allegedly "lied us into war(s)," pray tell. What exactly did he supposedly "lie" about?
And the claim that he "expanded" Presidential powers is similarly lacking in support -- other than by reference to things like the PATRIOT Act which makes the claim unfair. OF COURSE that act did expand governmental power, but that begs the question. Was such expansion, under the circumstances we live with these days, actually a "bad" thing? If so, how? No buzz-words for an answer will suffice. Spell it out.
I certainly agree that President Bush had his faults and made mistakes. Who hasn't?
But it is President Obama who spends his days lying his ass off. And we all know why. It's because he is (despite the PR campaign foisted off on all of us by the lapdog media) a truly stupid person. He's in way the hell over his head. He has no fixed principles. He is indecisive largely as a result of that. And he is afraid that people are going to figure out that he's just an empty ******* suit. Well, guess what? The secret is out.
