I am so disgusted with it all, I am no longer posting. You know what I think about the cesspool that people call Bush. We just need to ride out the next few years, and hope he doesn't fuck this place up to bad while he is in office.

Whoever thought he could run a country, needs to be slapped.

This was 2000-2008 for me.

Exactly, just need to change one word and there it is.

I can’t speak for mafoo, but the thing that has annoyed me the most about the switch from Bush to Obama is how obvious it is that some people are mindless partisans. Back in the Bush years I was often agreeing with Democrats (and arguing with Republicans) that the deficit was unsustainable and the growth in government was a bad thing; and now I find many of those Democrats defending a massive increase in the deficit and a massive growth in government intervention into people’s lives.

Obama is in many ways just as bad (or worse) that Bush ever was, the main difference is he has a much better PR team; and the unconditional support of many members of the media.
