Everybody misses President Bush now...

[Brock Landers]

Wrong .....he was THE WOSRT

no, James Buchannon has that title forever...Bush II was an abomination as prez

[THE PROFIT]

I am a democrat, but a conservative democrat when it comes to economic issues. Bush put this country in such debt that it will take years to dig out of. Everyone knows this, anyone who wants to argue with this just likes to argue for fun. This housing bubble bursted over 3 years ago due to no government regulation, the war in Iraq is a farce, and yet someone who has been in office a year is getting the blame? I dont think so, people are smarter than that.

[THE PROFIT]

No offense, Brock, but we are talking about people who have effected at least someone who we know, not our great great grandfathers. Bush's legacy will be the worst president when we have grandchildren. He did nothing, zero, positive, but fuked up ALOT of things

[MonkeyF0cker]

Who holds the purse strings???

Look at the congress....Democrats.

And he is cleaning it up how????

Spending more...brilliant

The CRA screwed up the mortgage industry and look who was behind it.

The problem with liberals is they confuse the deficit with the debt. Look at Bloomberg's numbers, which put Bush's final (8 year) deficit at $459 billion and Obama's projected one for this year at 1.5 trillion....almost 4 times.

I'm not sure if you're smart enough to realize this or not but when millions of people lose their jobs, they don't pay income taxes on those jobs.

[INVEGA MAN]

yes, i miss bush. maybe he would be starting a 3rd war and be spending a trillion more dollars to keep these wars going. Do you know why we are in debt? Because these wars are costing us a trillion dollars. you guys dont know this do you. Hello.

[subs]

I miss the bush - he was such an evil, arrogant, murderous war criminal that he actually opened some people's eyes... (yes illegal invasion of iraq = war crim. check the fine print if u want)

what a contrast, cigar muncher with his starvation sanctions knowingly caused the deaths of 2 MILLION human beings, but he was slick and efficient and the machine rolled on and no 1 noticed. but the bush was so bad at it (except at persuading people that iraq = ossama bin laden) and so arrogant that a lot of people can now see that the president is not the boss just the manager. the real bosses just keep moving all the money from the public via the military and the banks into their own swollen pockets. u pay in cash and lives to get the oil - they get it and buy small islands in paradise - leaving u in debt and your soldiers in the morgue.

since WW2 the us military has killed more PEOPLE (by far) than any despot.

and u wonder why it is know as the evil empire?

american military attacking other countries = evil

[hockeyman30304]

all I know is I wont miss the pres we have now.....

[PittsburghPlayer]

Subs, I think along those lines myself. Something I heard years ago. Both parties **** the people... at least the Democrats feel bad when they do! It is a joke. Point, does not matter if we "feel bad", we are fukkers too! On a side note, I promised an apology to Andy this morning for yesterdays tone. Here that is. I am heading north. Planning my escape!

[HoldEmHook!!]

I haven't seen the birth certificate but I have seen the birth listing in a Hawaii newspaper from the day after he was born. Really the birther movement is one of the more pathetic things I've seen in politics.

Pathetic you say.....Clinton doesnt know how to smoke pot properly....and lied about the whole sexaul relations ordeal....oh yeah NAFTA.....now that is really pathetic

[Jule]

I miss Care Bears...does anyone remember those? Greetings from Europe's hippest city!

[chaseman]

Two words: The Fed

[THE PROFIT]

I miss Care Bears...does anyone remember those? Greetings from Europe's hippest city!

Jule, I dont personally miss 'em. But is sure does seem like the world was a better place when there were care bears around

[fletch49]

I voted for him in his first term...voted against him for his 2nd term. I cannot tell you how much I am relieved that he no longer lives in the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andy117]

Pathetic you say.....Clinton doesnt know how to smoke pot properly....and lied about the whole sexaul relations ordeal....oh yeah NAFTA.....now that is really pathetic

Yes it's a pathetic and stupid movement. Anyone who really buys into it is a moron. Sorry I know you can't stand the guy but he was born here and because your party was a disaster and couldn't beat him legitimately they came up with this nonsense. I hope they have a good candidate in 2012 because the front runners now aren't very inspiring.

there is nothing factitious in your statement, expect perhaps the first sentence.

[Jule]

I agree, Profit! Sigh. OK, will now see how I will spend the evening. Am in Europe with students and have my day off today. Happy Sunday to...hmmm...America?

[THE PROFIT]

have fun in Europe

[acarmelo1]

I miss Nixon

[sexydude911]

all i can say is that obama is a dumb foreigner who everyone thought would solve our problems cuz hes a black democrat. and at least bush had the balls to go to war, obama would prolly just sit back and let some nukes hit us before he did anything. what a pussy

[empty cookie jar]

yeah, this whole administration sucks

better hang on to your porn collections

and start hoarding the salt

listen, kid, dont just dribble nonsense, if you have nothing to add that doesnt make you sound retarded its just best not to add

[brooks85]

haha "bush put this country in debt"

What do you call Obamas bill he passed 30 days into presidency?

And the real estate burst was only preclude to the real problem- credit. And with that, Bill Clinton takes the blame. Thanks to him and democrats jobless schmucks were getting loans.

Community Reinvestment Act is what really ****ed us.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Hello. We were in debt before these wars. Hello.

[Andy117]

Hello. We were in debt before these wars. Hello.

They sure didn't help. We've been in debt for basically forever.

100% correct and just remember who has controlled congress since 2006. The spend crazy democrats.

Spin it anyway you like.

[PittsburghPlayer]

I don`t think anyone can pinpoint ONE point in time, ONE person or ONE administration that sent us down this road that most of us don`t like as a few have suggested. I will suggest that MONEY, not what political party one is aligned with is the reason we are on the ride though. Members of Both parties have been/are dishonest, greedy, act in their own self interest...seems a lot more in the last 50 years or so. Maybe a hundred years. Does not really matter now... Think about it, Does IT Really? Of course not, what matters NOW is how and where we go from here. For REAL CHANGE we would all need to take a week or two off from our jobs to shut down big biz and the gov`t. to make them listen. Bitching like school girls about the past will do NO good as we will NEVER agree. IT DOES NOT MATTER!
GL. I`m going to catch some fish.

[PittsburghPlayer]

I suggest one listen to the tune Golden Country by REO SpeedWagon. Check out the tune wherever you listen to and watch videos and tell me that OUR problems are ONE man`s, or ONE administrations fault. The fault is money, selfishness and greed. OK, now I am going fishin`.

And your point???

Give me an example of dems creating jobs. Real jobs that produce $$$ not handing out $$ for work.

If you guys spent a 1/4 as much time looking at what's going on in the country as you do watching CNN, MSNBC and handicapping sports you'd see the truth.

[stealthyburrito]

omfg that is absolutely frightening

[THE HITMAN]

Ronald Reagan is the last good president we have had.

He's got my vote, zert

[Hotdiggity11]

No, he was a 20-30% approval rating disaster.
