As a non-American, I have to say, from where I stand George W Bush was the worst thing that ever happened to the world.

    Obama has attacked states with the department of justice that will not bow to his policies.
    Obama has more than doubled our debt in less than 4 years, more than all the debt added up from previous presidents.
    He has bypassed our system of checks and balances by executive order.
    just to name a few....
    Your country and it's citizens may be ok with all that, which is fine, but it's not OK with many of us. If you like him so much, I'd give him to you if I could.

    GWB may not have been a great president, but he was proud of and loves this country. Obama only loves himself

    He has pushed America closer to socialism than ever before and has lied (like all politicianns) and not come through with any promises he made to the people to get himself elected.

    Obama has ignored the illegal immigration problem and has attacked states that have addressed the problem. He has double the national debt. He has given tons of taxpayer money to solar companies that have failed to create anything other than to fatten their pockets. He has refused to drill for oil while allowing Brazil to drill off our shores. He has raised taxes on servicable commodities. He issues executive orders to circumvent Congress. He has lied numerous times to his constituents and the American people with no respect for their intelligence. He is anti-gun, and leading us towards a Socialist Government which equates to loss of freedom, basically what America was founded upon.
    Bush was twice the President Obama is.....

    his is just a History lesson. I am posting it to all regardless of party . It is history and nothing can change it. The day the Democrats took over was NOT January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

    The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

    For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
    January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
    The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
    The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
    The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
    George Bush's Economic policies set a record of 52 straight months of job creation.

    January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
    The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
    Banking and financial services.
    House and Senate Democrats created this crisis by (among other things) dumping almost 6 trillion dollars of toxic loans on the economy from their Fannie Mae and Freddi...

    Banking and financial services.
    House and Senate Democrats created this crisis by (among other things) dumping almost 6 trillion dollars of toxic loans on the economy from their Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac dealings.
    (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie -starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barney blocked it and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy."
    And who took the third highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? Obama.
    And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
    Obama and the Democrat Congress.

    Remember January 3rd, 2007. The day the Democrats took the House and Senate.
    Budgets do not come from the White House.They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.
    Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.

    In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

    For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.

    And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

    If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

    If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

    From the 110th to the 112th Congress, the Democrats have held party majority in the Senate. From the 110th to the 111th, Democrats also held party majority in the House. Read it and weep.

    Im going to let you in on a bit of info you may not be aware of. In order for all of those "Democratically Controlled Congress" items to even make it into LAW it requires a signature from the president. So either bush was signing to make the Nation WORSE or you dont have a clue as to what you are saying. Personally I think the guy was to damned DRUNK OR HIGH when he was in office to care.

    Don't insult me, I know how a bill gets passed. My point is, Obama voted for the measures that have are affecting our economy today, yet he'll blame it on Bush. Personally I hate Bush, but that's a different story. Thanks for the tip, bro, you should have let Obama in on it when he had the Senate and House majority.

    He has gotten Bin Laden, buddy of G W Bush. He has restored freedom of speech by lifting the gag rule. He has advanced science by allowing research on stem cells. He has brought the economy back from the black hole that G W Bush left us in.

    You are right. G W Bush was the worst thing that ever happened. Well maybe Hitler was a bit worse.

    well for one, he's the best recruiting tool al qaida ever had since GW Bush.
    secondly, he rolls over and plays dead every time Congress looks at him cockeyed.

    and I plan to vote for him - but that doesn't mean I don't see his faults.

    you can tell the haters pretty easily, though. look for the code words: Marxist, Communist, Hitler, Muslim.

Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government."

    Barack Obama is a Marxist that wants to "fundamentally change America" away from it's constitution and toward socialism. Maybe you should think about what $5.8 TRILLION of debt in four years means to the earnings of future generations of Americans, which drives the world economy. And why does Obama and his "progressive" party do this? Control and self interest over the freedom and liberty of Americans.

    Frankly I expect this type of question from Australians these days, for a decade I've seen asinine immature behavior all over the internet from Australia. What the hell does George Bush have to do with this? I keep telling myself you all can't be that stupid, but here again you indicate you come from a nation of dolts.
