Obama tried, The Bush tried nothing other than (enter usual conspiracy The Bush Remark) and screwed over the American people. I can not blame Obama's entire term on The Bush, but I damn well can try! Yes Obama did the radical Stimilous package (wasn't a good portion of that paid back?) also who put the country into that debt? Certainly not Obama. As much as The Bush said he was going to with draw troops did he ever actually do it? No. So Obama actually did fix another Bush mess. Iraq was a disaster. Why were we there again? I will not even bring up Micheal Moores garbage on The Bush because it is totally one sided. But I will say that any other president still would have struggled with what The Bush left behind. Which was more or less the total destruction of America almost. I guess the main reason was that I was in the military and was deployed twice. He screwed all those people over who went over there. Whether you sign up or not, still no need to any human over in a war zone for 18-24 months. Not only that but you would not even believe how much money we just waste during these two campaigns or wars. I have already made my stance on The Bush. I thought that he was a low life scum, and that is what I will always think of him. There is no reasoning with hate. |
no problem. Not intentionally trying to trap you on something. I was just wondering what you liked about his presidency. If it was Franklin I think too often people talk about he positives but rarely on the major negatives of his presidency. Also that depends on your political views if you thought what he did was good or bad. Basically if you look into history he is one of the major players that began the "era of progressiveism" with his policies and the new deal.
As far as Bush. There is a lot I would agree with you that he did pretty poorly from my viewpoint. Do I think he was the worst president in historty like some of his critics will say? no, but he definately was not one of the good ones.
Now as far as Obama it all depends on your political views and what direction you want the country will go. Some say he is doing great, some say he is one of the worst presidents to ever hold the office, and some say he has good and bad.
I for one will say his view of government and the direction he has gone has been mostly bad and from my view hasn't done much good for the country at all. One factor to look at is the continuation of the nations deficits and debt. His refusal to try to get a balanced budget. That is his failure and is clear in his recent budget proposal. Nothing in his recent budget proposal shows that the country will eventually get to a balanced budget. Currently for every Dollar the U.S. government is spending roughly 40 cents of it is borrowed. That over time will keep putting huge increases in the nations debt. If nothing changes then its only a matter of time that the interest rate on our debt starts to climb as it becomes more evident that our federal government may not be able to sustain it.
Everyone can disagree about social issues, but as far as fiscally he is failing in a major way and instead of correcting the Bush failures in that regard he is accelerating them.
I am basically saying all that to say that I don't see a rosie picture of Obama that it seems other people are seeing. Are the current candidates on the other side the ultimate answer to the overall problems? I don't know and probably not the perfect answer, but one thing is for sure is that Obama is not trying to change course on the nations debt and therefore on that merit should not deserve to continue as president. He promised hope and change, but its evident it hasn't really happened when you just simply look at the facts and the numbers of what he has done.
Also Im not trying to get you thrown into a heated debate :). Just wanted to share with you my thoughts.
