There is no way to measure Bush's 8 years against Obama's 18 months and make any kind of meaningful comparison or decision. You can not in any way see the results of any of Obama's major moves. Health care won't even kick in for years, they haven't even gone through a whole budget cycle, the stimulus money hasn't even been spent yet, etc. etc. etc. It's stuff like that just points out how completely not thoughtful you are on the subject. You may disagree with his policies, his personality, his height, or whatever. You may think he may end up eventually being considered a bad president historically. But you can not make any meaningful judgement on his presidency at this point, for good or bad. It's pointless to do so.
By all means have your opinion. But try and state it with some thoughtfulness and looking at the whole picture. I know you're trying to get down to the level of the people that can't manage to watch apolitical speech without falling asleep or sucking their toes, but really.... |
My god man.
Open your eyes. Look as how much worse we are today, then we were 18 months ago? You don't think any of Obama's major policies contributed to any of this?
For every company we bail out because they are "to big to fail", we get worse. Healthcare costs TODAY, are worse because we passed health reform. The CBO said this themselves.
His weak foreign policy is why Iran is doing and saying the things it's doing and saying. There is a reason why they are far bolder in these last 18 months then they were before.
Russia could give a rats ass what we think. You think they felt that way with Bush in office?
Bush was a horrible president, no arguments here. But look at what this guy is doing to this country.
It's like you went to Berkly, took a bunch of collage kids, and said "run the country for 18 months". This is what you get when you take a bunch of people who don't know what the fuck they are doing, but think they have all the answers.
You know, I saw an interview with Michael Strahan, and they were asking him how he was going to defend against the Colts in the supper bowl, because the Colts had a fantastic plan to overcome the Giants defense. His answer was "Like Mike Tyson once said 'Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face'".
Obama has this idealogical idea of how the US should be. The kind kids in school have who no nothing of the real world. Obama has now been punched in the face, and he has no more plan. He has no clue what to do.
