He couldn't possibly be any worse than George Bush.

Yes, Obama could be a lot worse. He's got at least 2 more years to continue to screw up the country. However, with a split house and senate, its unlikely that he'll continue to do things that will hurt America worse than his first 2 years.

Now, if your wondering what I'm talking about, before people start attacking me:

• Stimulus bill
• Obamacare
• Continuing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (in the case of Afghanistan, more soldiers have died under his watch than at any point during Bush's presidency)
• Increased regulation of the economy

Those things will have long-term effects on the future of America, and they are not good things that Obama has done. Hopefully, he can turn these things around, or America will be in an even more dire mess than when he came into office.

Hmmm, so the only bad thing on your list is the continuing of the wars.  After what we've been through due to deregulation, you can't be serious that increased regulation is a bad thing.

GW's policies were just the continuation of what started under Reagan and continued under Bush I and Clinton.  They were destined to fail, and they did, fantastically.  Obama hasn't done enough to correct this.  Until we get serious about regulation, we are headed for an even worse situation not too far down the line.
