it is amazing to me how many people on here are Monday morning Quarterbacks...I would like to see any one of you sit in the Oval Office after 9/11 and would love to see what you would have done...besides calling your mommy on the phone...
What did he do BEFORE 9/11? He was warned and a competent leader would've seen to it that no terrorist scum would be able to attack us within our borders.
We all know what he did after 9/11. You know how he sent a handful of troops after Osama..... You know. The mastermind behind the attacks. While launching a full-scale war against Saddam..... Who had nothing to do with any of it.
What a failure he is. I guess we deserved it. Thats what we get for voting in a recovering alcoholic/coke-head twice.
Ahh and there we go again, ignoring reality while going off on some diatribe. Wars stimulate economies, so your complaint about the wars, and the economy tanking are counter one another.. If you knew anything about economics you'd understand this, but sit here and call other posters stupid, that doesnt make you correct..
So wars stimulate economies? Yet ours tanked.
Wow. Bush even screwed that up. Thanks for making my argument that much easier.
"Katrina was on his watch" ... President Bush caused a hurricane?
Bush was in charge of the mess that ensued.

take a look at the 2010 mid-terms
OK, let's take a look. My state elected a Democratic governor. He had two RW opponents, a TP member and an American Constitution Party member who was endorsed by no less than SP herself. The Dem still received over 50% of the vote. We also elected a Dem. senator, whose opponent was a TP member and a male chauvinist.

Similarly, Obama has some huge problems to face: economy, unemployment, housing market, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan -- I hope and pray that he is up to the task and does the best he can for the country.
But, to hold either responsible for these challenges is simply foolish and biased? Islamic terrorists, not GW Bush, attacked the U.S.; Katrina was a hurricane that nobody could control; Would you rather we fight the terrorists in the U.S. or on their home turf? -- Even Russia recognized the threat posed in Afghanistan and spent 10-years there; Iraq posed a threat to the entire mideast and stability of the world
20-20 hindsight and the presumption of full knowledge of all the facts --is probably a better basis for making the best possible decisions, but, that isn't how life works, is it?
Uh, Iraq and Afghanistan were Bush's to pursue (or not). Neither had much purpose.

President GW Bush was elected twice by the majority of the American people to represent the United States of America -- He is a decent, honest individual ... who doesn't seem to meet elite liberal standards of 'intelligence, sophistication and ... whatever else' -- Yet, where do their qulifications lie --- and what do they really know about what goes on behind the scenes. It seems to me that most of the rhetoric simply repeats the hateful press spewed by the liberal media.
Whether you like GW's politics or not, the office of President deserves our respect and support -- Further, GW has not been President for over two years ... and yet, the 'Bush-haters' still blame him for everything and anything. Wake up and grow-up! -- The President doesn't pass laws -- GW didn't simply decide to go into Iraq -- He wasn't the only one (including the Dems, who believed intelligence reports about WMD's).
But, even so, when does responsibility for anything (economy, remaining in Iraq/Iran, unemployment, etc. etc) actually pass to the current Administration? -- I'm not saying the current or the past Administration is responsible for the problems, but all the Bush finger-pointing lacks knowledge, logic --- and any apparent interest in actually solving the problems!
'Finger Pointing' and the 'blame game' doesn't move us one-inch closer to solutions. As Americans, we need to unite and move forward together to solve our mutual problems! If Washington can't get over its own partisan politics, then the American people need to vote them out of office... blue and red alike!
Don't try to convince us that Bush doesn't richly deserve the bashing he continues to receive. We're adults.
Well, Sarah Palin called his mum a 'blueblood', so that makes Georgie boy a blueblood, too. He's and elitist, who made it on family name, not brains. He was a flyboy who snorted massive amounts of coke, and went AWOL.
How many companies went into the red under the blueblood's helm? Every one of them.........and that includes this country.
Georgie boy is bad mistake. Likable in a goofy puppy sort of way.

I don't disagree that George is/was a blueblood. But let's stop critiquing the academic prowess of presidents. This won't turn out well for Dems. Doesn't Obama read comic books? IF I couple that fact with the other fact that there is a blackout on his grades>>>>Hmmm makes one wonder doesn't it??
I read the entire article. It doesn't mention Bush at all. It does say that congress started defunding it in 1993. So, it looks like both parties are responsible. If Clinton didn't think that it was a problem then why should GW Bush?
Wow. Bush even screwed that up. Thanks for making my argument that much easier.
How come Obama didn't end our involvement in the wars we are currently involved? Didn't Obama promise that when he was a candidate? I'm sure that he did! Could it be that once he won the election and ACTUALLY started recieving intelligence updates that he realized he simply COULDN'T just pull us out of those wars?? Makes George Bush seem not so stupid now doesn't it??

He never ran o pulling everyone out right away. He ran on having a timeline pull out in Iraq (which he has done), and then add troops to focus on Afghanistan and then eventually pull out (which he has done and is working on)
