Herbert Hoover came into office just a few months before the stock market crashed, Obama came into office right in the middle of The Bush's mess. But Herbert was named the worst president of all time, because he was the president during this time. Obama gets a lot of flack, and he is in the same situation. But unlike Hoover Obama has stopped a war that was started on lies and oil. Obama has done a lot of things that has helped. Just like Hoover successor became an instant star, maybe Obama's successor will as well! Of course they would have some big shoes to fill, to keep up with the four term president, Malaria survivor, Depression crusher, War winner, etc. Wait a second....Obama has already some of this. Iraq war done, Recession crusher (sort of), etc. So thank you Obama! The war cost billions of dollars a month, kills Americans, and we should not have been there in the first place! So not only have you stopped the unwarranted, but successful war, but you are again helping us with our money problems! Reducing military spending by stopping the Iraq war totally for us, VA benefits, Soldier extra pay, etc. |
If the person after Obama is the second coming of FDR then the US is REALLY screwed, as i doubt there will suddenly be massive new free trade
Which is what actually got us outta the Great Depression.
I can see an Obama/Bush comparison though if the Bush narrative was differnet.
People like to paint Herbert Hoover in modern times as someone who stood around watching Rome burn around him... when the Truth was, he raised government spending and did more stimulus work then any president prior.... it just gets lost in the massiveness of the FDR stimulus.
Currently though, the fact that Bush ran up worthless debt and stimulus debt is used to defend the fact that Obama has done it much worse.
