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.... |
Hes halfway through his presidency and has accomplished nothing worth noting. Why can't we judge his two years? Is it not ok to judge Obama's work? Does he just get a free pass? It would be different if perhaps the economy had stopped getting worse, but despite his massive spending (bush's too, which I did not agree with) the economy looks like it will be taking another down turn. Perhaps the only thing he has come through on is the ending of combat in Iraq. I haven't read too much on that though.
