Good old Bush Jr. deserves more blame.  Kind of hard polishing a turd that you inherit.


I still find it hilarious that liberals still blame bush for everything that could possibly have ever gone wrong, yet simultaneously praise Obama for his failures.

Bush hasn't been in office for 7 years, yet its still his fault.

Clinton hadn't been in office for 2 years, and it was Bush's fault.

That seems somewhat hippocritical to me.

Bush inherited a surplus that he decided to give tax cuts to the mainly rich.  He then went on to pass a Medicare bill that was drafted by the drug companies.  Started a war with Iraq based on lies and misinformation.  His cronies stated the Iraq war could be paid with oil revenues with min cost to the country and that they was an immediate threat to US national security (WMDs which we gave him during the 80s to fight Iran and false accusations of harboring terrorist).  Add a few trillion for the wars, the crash of 08 and any president following would have a tough time.  Becoming president in 2000 was a lot easier than 2008.  Yes, it is Bush's fault to what happened to Iraq.  Don't try and put blame on the troop pullout considering the agreement came under the Bush admin due to Iraq not allowing US soldiers to be free from prosecution. 

Is Obama perfect?  Far from it.  He helped fuck up Libya, made numerous campaign promises that never happened (such as getting rid of Patriot Act, Gitmo, etc...), passed a healthcare bill that was in favor of the insurance and drug companies, and many more.  However, it is obvious that Bush did more harm to this country (domestic and foreign relations) than Obama could ever dream of.  Only the Rush Limbaughs of the world think otherwise.
