Well, I'm going to have the same stance with this that I had when people gave Bush a hard time for his speeches.

Ability to speak publicly (or lack thereof) does not affect a person's ability to make important decisions. Thus, I will not give Obama a hard time over it.

 

 but look how bush turned out..

 

Obama= black pres. bush confirmed?

 

How did Bush turn out? So far, 90% of the reasons people condemn him involve lackluster evidence and a major press spin. I have yet to see one piece of solid evidence that Bush has been a bad president. No, he wasn't perfect. He wasn't even great. But right now, more solid evidence points to him having been a good choice.

Some figures for America (from Dutch Metro)

                                  2000                           2008

Unemployment         4% (avg)                     5.4% (avg)
Deficit                       $230 billion plus          $455 billion minus
Inflation                    3.38% (avg)                5% (avg)
Dollar Value              $1 = €1,01                   $1 = 0,79€

 

Now that

(1) it's not an established fact that it takes 3-10 years (and even more as time passes, population grows, and the complexity of our economy/culture increases) for a president's actions to take effect on our economy, which effectively means that Clinton had a greater effect on the recent economy than Bush did, and

(2) the President has incredibly less influence than Congress, which effectively means that Congress is much more to blame than anything Bush did,

 

Way to know your facts & just eat what the press feeds you. You'd think a videogamer of all people would remember not to buy everything the press says.

 

 

note: I'm not saying I like Bush either, but actual facts show that he's been hated on far more than reality says he should be.
