Why do people think Bush was such a bad president? What did he do wrong? It's not his fault that terroists attacked during his term. Do you hate him for going to war? What would you have done? Sit there and go, "oh, it's okay, you killed over 3000 of our citzens and destroyed multiple buildings" Besides, if people really didn't want him to go to war, congress could have vetoed it. Obama has already played more golf than Bush did in 2 1/2 years in office. Obama just wants to make healthcare government controlled, that will mean rationing of medical supplies. People will have to wait for a decision on whether they can get surgery by a commitee. People will not have a choice anymore because inevitably the government health care will be cheaper and put private businesses out of business. Obama also said he would bring troops back from Iraq, which he hasn't, in fact more have gone. Obama was just a demagouge, and pretty soon people are going to realize it, in fact they already are.

Oh yes, Obama has done something all right, mess around. His wife also has employed by far the most assistants. What does she need over 20 assistants for? The first lady doens't do much besides organize events and meetings.

What did he do wrong?

Bush managed to create a national debt out of the surplus Clinton left him. Not to mention the two wars, economic recession, and plethora of other problems he left Obama.

It's not his fault that terroists attacked during his term.

It's the President's responsibility to prevent a terrorist attack.

Do you hate him for going to war? What would you have done? Sit there and go, "oh, it's okay, you killed over 3000 of our citzens and destroyed multiple buildings"

How do you justify the war in Iraq? Preemptive action against a country possessing weapons of mass destruction doesn't sound like a smart idea to me. What would Iraq have done with those weapons had they existed? I can envision a very dirty end to the conflict, had that been the case. I don't even have the slightest idea why we're still in Iraq, aside from the fact that we represent the majority of troops in Iraq, so pulling out would abandon the other countries.

Besides, if people really didn't want him to go to war, congress could have vetoed it.

Does Congress always represent the views of the people? Also, during times of conflict, people look towards a leader and can be swayed much easier than normal.

Obama has already played more golf than Bush did in 2 1/2 years in office.

The amount of golf played often measures a man success. The more he plays, the better his career was.

People will have to wait for a decision on whether they can get surgery by a commitee.

You believed the "death panel" lie? Health insurance will be the same as it is now: everyone will receive a certain amount of coverage, and if their operation isn't covered, they'll have to pay partially out of their pocket. Isn't that better than being denied coverage out right, due to a pre-existing medical condition?

People will not have a choice anymore because inevitably the government health care will be cheaper and put private businesses out of business.

To even be eligible to receive government regulated health care, you'll have to meet certain requirements. It's not going to run the private sector out of business, as many people will still be forced to/choose to purchase it. Whether it be because they are not eligible for the government program, or they want better coverage.

Obama also said he would bring troops back from Iraq, which he hasn't, in fact more have gone.

He's never going to get a bill passed that pulls out all troops, due to Republicans who aren't going to support Obama no matter what he does. He could ban abortion, and they'd oppose him for betraying the Democrats. They'd call him a traitor and ask if that's who we want running out country, someone so willing to turn their back on their beliefs.

Also, do you know how many people pulling out of Iraq would piss off? Republicans complain about him not catering to their beliefs, then complain when he doesn't uphold promises that they oppose in the first place. It's a horrible double standard.

It's the President's responsibility to prevent a terrorist attack.

Yes, technically, but what more can he do than say, watch out for terrorists and make detectors a standard? He himself can't physically do anything about it. It boils down to the people searching and if they miss it he gets blamed, that doesn't seem very fair of accusing him.

Besides, if people really didn't want him to go to war, congress could have vetoed it.

I remember when everybody was calling for retribution and going in and killing all the terrorists. He did just that. He eleminated a head of an orginization and forced the terrorists into retreat. It's not his fault that the people in Iraq HELPED the terrorists because they threatend their families. If not for the civillians getting in the way, there would have been far less casulties, quicker results and much less money spent. How can you predict people being angry at the person HELPING them instead of the person killing their families and loved ones?

everyone will receive a certain amount of coverage

That's my point exactly. Everyone receives the same coverage, which means the same resources, which boils down to the doctor's time and supplies. They would not give you a new liver and a new heart ever beacause they would say, "everyone else needs one first before you can get another" while in the meantime that person dies.

you'll have to meet certain requirements

National requirements for health care will be the same as requirements for public schooling, you just have to be a citzen and not immidiately about to die.

Whether it be because they are not eligible for the government program,

If they aren't eligible for the national standard, which would be low, than there's no way they would be eligible for a private company competing with government prices payed by taxes.

The amount of golf played often measures a man success. The more he plays, the better his career was.

Why's that? More time to golf because of less problems? What happend to this statement.

Bush managed to create a national debt out of the surplus Clinton left him. Not to mention the two wars, economic recession, and plethora of other problems he left Obama

Has he fixed the "plethora" of other problems in 9 1/2 months? I don't think so. So, obviously, all that time golfing could have been spent arguing for the removal of troops as he promised, fixed the national debt and preventing further terrorist attacks.

Republicans who aren't going to support Obama no matter what he does. He could ban abortion, and they'd oppose him for betraying the Democrats. They'd call him a traitor and ask if that's who we want running out country, someone so willing to turn their back on their beliefs.

There's people like that everywhere, be democrat or republican or indian or european or japanese or chinese or spanish or mexican or whatever nationaility you want to throw in. People will be like that no matter what you do, so don't do the splatter all label of how republicans are corrupt politicians who are both hypocritical and greedy, all this shows is that you do not have an open mind to the other side because you are blinded by the political propoganda sent out by the democratic party in order to make themselves seem better, and vis-versa for the republicans.

do you know how many people pulling out of Iraq would piss off?

I thought that was one of the reasons that he got elected to be president, his promise to remove troops. So, obviously, not an extrodinary amount considering he won the popular and electoral votes.

Republicans complain about him not catering to their beliefs

No, republicans argue against beleifs that they think are wrong or can be improved upon, the same goes for democrats. Arguing is the only way that people acomplish anything because that shows that they are both not fighting physically and are thinking about their points in a way to slant people to their beleifs. Full scale war never worked well for diplomacy. The republicans have complained that he doesn't do what they want, but that's where opposing views come in, it's not anything new or critical to how things work, it's the party system and has been so for 250 years.

Wow.  Nice OP >.>

Anyway, the war was just as much Bush's fault as it was the Congress's and the American people.

Bush = Justifying war with "God" and stating we are in a war between good and evil.  He also takes it upon himself to try to spread democracy and assert America's role as an imperialistic nation.

Congress = Not acting on a higher level than the public and being swept away by the scare and being angered and wanting someone to pay, whether they were sure the people they were attacking committed the horrible crime or not.

Public = Not being against the war and protesting and being swept up by post 9/11 paranoia even after we found out we were attacking the wrong people.  If the population was against the war and made the war unpopular EARLIER it would have put more pressure on the administration to pull out.  But Bush used religion and concepts of good and evil to sway the mindless zombie population for the war, and now only too late are people BEGINNING to realize we shouldn't be in the middle east and it isn't making us safer at all.

This bull sht about "not letting the terrorists have a safe haven" is just bs.  Do you honestly believe terrorists need a safe haven or stronghold?  The middle east has been sucking on our military teat for too long and they need to learn to fend for themselves.  And since we got involved we have to help with this.  Otherwise we'd lose respect and endanger lives.

You are both idiots.

Since when was trillions of dollars in government debt a "surplus"?  The national debt hasn't been paid off since Marshal sold off huge tracts of Federal land.
