Obama is making GW look good!

Remember all the verbal GW Bush hating? How could you not? No other man was verbally hated so furiously by so many people in an 8 year span. Jesus might have faced more verbal hate back in the day but even that only lasted 3 years.

Bush was verbally hated something serious. But Obama is really starting to make him look pretty dang good right about now.

Hahaha, Bush was one of the worst presidents in our history. Obama has, at worst, been a non-entity.

If Bush was hated as much as Jesus, who will be our Judas?

So, David Stern will be organizing the execution?

Excellent, though he might decide the lottery for said execution will go to the Knicks, and then they will f*ck it all up.

In your scenario, LeBron James is trying to get George Bush into bed and George Bush will have none of it.

I do not believe this is factual.

However, the damn newspaper boy didn't deliver this morning so maybe I'm wrong.

He might be unpopular in the US but by contrast Bush was detested worlwide, Obama has done nothing yet to warrant any comparison.

If Obama looks bad, it's only because it's become his job to clean up the huge steaming pile of shit that GW left in the White House.

Um...no. Not even remotely, actually. As unhappy as I am with Obama, it doesn't even come near the disdain I felt for Bush.

He's not even that hated in the US, but these boards are a fucking magnet for wingnuts.

The fact that we're even still in the war! It's supposed to be over. Are you aware that this is the longest military engagement the US has ever been in? It can't be won and everyone expects him to do something about it. Not to mention that it's a horrible waste of money. Maybe we could do something about the economy if we weren't wasting billions of dollars fighting lunatic fanatics.

Bush wrecked the economy, Bush got us into the war, Bush lost the trust of the American people.

Now it's Obama's job to Fix the economy, get us out of the war, and win back our trust. Now I'll admit that he hasn't been doing a stellar job at any of these tasks, and maybe someone else could be doing a better job, but It's not fair to say that he's a worse president that Bush because Obama looks bad digging himself out of Bush's hole.

Yeah, besides the eight-year American Revolution and twenty-year Vietnam War.

Are you sure you aren't talking about Afghanistan? Besides the "longest military engagement" is by a long margin, Korea. Technically speaking we are still at war with North Korea. Our troops are huddled at the DMV waiting for those starved troops to either invade or die of fammine.

North Korean troops aren't starving that's the peasants job.

I agree that Bush got is into two wars. I agree that Bush lost the trust of the American people. I do not agree that Bush wrecked the economy (there's too much blame to go around on that particular issue). I would urge you to take a look at the president election from 2008 and see what the major issues are.

President Obama's major domestic policies so far in his presidency have been to pass the health insurance plan, bail out a number of companies, a jobs creation bill, and regulate the financial system. Of those items, none of them were in direct response to something Bush did. With respect to foreign policy, I will give that President Obama has attempted to repair international relations with other nations (although it appears to my untrained eye that relations with Israel and Russia have taken a turn for the worse). However, we are still in two wars and the Patriot Act is still around (and by all accounts is used with more vigor than under President Bush).

So, while I think certainly that President Obama is a better alternative to President Bush, I do not think one can say that President Obama's problems are due to the shit that President Bush left him.

I was just reminded of this video by conservatives on Facebook for a real good reason why the liberals hate Obama.

Bush made abject fools out of the American people. Buncha flag waving wankers like your parents who indoctrinated you so effectively. Now these wankers are arsehurt because they were made to look stoopit, so they're looking for something, anything to make someone else look stoopit too. I guess Obama will do.

Does your mommy still pick out your clothes for you? Have you ever had an original thought in your sad, preprogrammed life?

That ball was already rolling. It's reasonable, based on Bush's own bailing out of banks, to assume that he would have done the same thing.
