Why is the Nobel Peace Prize Obama policing the world?
It's interesting how during the campaign to get elected, one big part of his popularity was based on his implications he would end the war and do all sorts of things that were based on that. Then he got that peace prize after just assuming office and it seems like he has been nothing but peaceful ever since. Interesting as well, how I feel he has further divided Democrats and Republicans. His "let the Republicans ride at the back of the bus" remark sure showed us all how he feels. By the way, I have contemplated that back of the bus remark. I think it's payback time for him. I think he views (using a stereotype) republicans as racists (we are not collectively and I cannot speak for all republicans) and considering that blacks were made to sit at the back of the bus until about the 1960s, I think he feels "we" are somehow at fault. I think that is the basis for nearly all his actions against republicans. I think he is the true racist.
Why is Obama and the world making Bush look like the greatest leader in history?
I'm just going to say that as a Canadian there is no way in hell that Bush will ever have a good word said about him by me. I grew up in Saudi Arabia and quite clearly remember the Second Gulf War or whatever the **** you want to call it now, he did not for a second help stop any unrest.... Saddam was a bad guy yea, but so is Bush. Of course Obama is having a hard time helping the economy, it takes time to fix things and Bush had 8 years to **** things up royally so get a grip on unrealistic expectations. Also anyone remember Katrina? How long did Bush take to drag his sorry *** down there? Any comments on Obama's response time to the BP crisis? Get a grip America, socialism isn't the scary communist devil you all imagined communism to be for 50 years, it's a part of most western governments now and guess who's lagging in economic recovery? that's right the US with anti socialist sentiment. weird right. Just some thoughts :P
Why does GW Bush poll better than Obama?
Yawn. That just means that Idiot 'Murica has a short memory. Since when was that a shocking revelation? Iraq war U.S.casualties as of 2012: 4400+ KIA. 32,000+ WIA Iraqi casualties as of 2012: 100,000+ KIA (conservative estimate, including civilians) Lasting legacy of Bush's Splendid Lil' War: Al Qaeda in Iraq, ISIS. Monetary cost to the U.S.: direct costs of about $760 billion, total costs over $ 1.1 trillion and climbing due to recurring interest payments on the war loans. Idjit 'Murica has a very short memory. The only thing polls like this show is that your average 'Murican is a dunderhead.
Was/is America better under Bush or Obama?
It depends on what you think "better" is. Frankly, I don't care for either president. It seems like things are worse now. Financially, my pay has been stagnant the last two years but prices have gone up. So, essentially I had more wealth prior to Obama being in office. I keep hearing jobs are coming back, but everyone around me wants to know where those jobs are because they've lost theirs and still can't find a job. The damage here began before Bush, but both he and Obama have a hand in where we are today. With that said we were in a recession before Obama ever took office; however, I haven't seen anything get better other than my 401K. So in that sense it is better, not just for me, but for everyone invested in stocks because the stock market is higher than it was. Obama has spent more than I can even imagine so we are more in debt than ever...though I'm sure he blames Bush. Bush has a hand in our debt, but Obama sure piled on a massive amount in a very short time! It seems this administration is a chaotic mess and there is no real leadership. If you agree with Obama everything is cool, but disagree and the gloves are off.
Who was a better president: Bush or Obama?
Even though im a die hard republican, I can still admit when theres a good democrat running, or some past democrat presidents. Even I cant think of any off hand really. Except maybe JFK. Though he wasnt really around long enough, though a good honest man. And Even though bush made some mistakes, he was wrongly acussed for such things such as the hurricane Katrina. Truth was, you had a irresponsible mayor who didn't do his job properly. The people didn't leave, their problem, not Bushes. Thats why we have mayors people, to take car of their cities. I must say I really dont agree with Obama's more government silent motto. Bush kept this country safe for seven, we took one of the biggest murders under president Bushes watch. Obama has done nothing so far except waste almost a trillion dollors. Like over 200 million dollors for the condom bussiness? wow. What a visionary. Obama is worthless, so there for, Bush is a better president. Those of you who voted for Obama dont care about this country and the people that are fighting right now for it. Bush is better, much better.
George.W.Bush, a way better president than Obama and Washington?
Not even close. Bush started a horrible war that there was no reason to start, he created government programs that were the worst invasion of privacy in this country's history, he did absolutely nothing while a large chunk of the country's population went hungry after Katrina. And if you think the recession has been bad, imagine what it would have been like if Bush actually succeeded in privatizing social security. Even people who have so far been in the lucky bracket to get anything out of it would have found themselves out of luck. Obama may not be among the best, but he has some really good ideas that if successful will finally put the US back on top of the world again, such as health care reform and the stimulus package. Yes his projects are expensive, but really every president has had their own pet projects that were expensive. At least this time the money's being spent on things that have the potential to pay for themselves down the road. I'm not going to argue that Bush did only bad and Obama has done only good, the stimulus package we got under Bush was a good idea and Obama's idea to bailout the banks and auto makers was a ridiculous load of nonsense. I'm just arguing that Obama is a much better president than Bush :)
Why was I better off, financially under Presidents Bush, Clinton and Reagan, than I am under Chairman Obama?
I think Obama is garbage. A puppet who doesn't know how to handle an economy. He is inexperienced, indecisive, and hypocritical and he has failed as a President of the United States. The higher cost of living and prices force poverty; homelessness and joblessness and Food Stamps. Tellingly, Food Stamps is Obama's biggest voter base. Since 9/11; America has reached its highest population of poverty, prison population, education de-funding, business closure, and prices of everything have risen including food, water, milk, energy, gas, schooling, homes, etc. He has expanded the War in Afghanistan, now an 11 year occupation to 2024, and military conflicts in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, drone strikes, and allows drones to fly in the States, draining our taxes He allows the TSA and DHS to trash the Constitution and our civil liberties. The elite in government really do not care about the Constitution at this point. He extended and supports laws such as the Patriot Act, NDAA, Anti-Trespass Bill, Obamacare, Fast and Furious, the 2008 bailouts of the largest banks, and the 9/11 official story. He promised cutting spending, reducing the debt, and ending the wars, but spends more than any other person in the history of the world with over $6 trillion in less than 4 years; largely on military and failed banking/energy investments like J.P. Morgan, Solyndra, and the Federal Reserve - killing the economy with massive debt. All these taxes could be going to education, healthcare, Social Security, Medicaid instead of military conflicts, bombs, and bullets. He has not fixed this recession that is still affecting us, despite what the TV tells us. That is why you were better off before Obama.
