Sooo...How Is Romney Different From George W. Bush? (9/11, Congress, Iran) - Elections - City-Data Forum

Bush was a "businessman." Romney is a "businessman."

Bush came into office and cut taxes, leading to a deficit. Romney wants to come into office, cut taxes, and increase the deficit.

Bush was against financial regulation. Romney wants to appeal Dodd-Frank.

Bush's neocon advisers started a war against Iraq. Romney's neocon advisers (same as Bush's actually) want to start a war against Iran.

So how are these two any different?

They have different names and different dates of birth and different parents.

PS: Bush asked Congress (along with McCain and Greenspan) and asked them SPECIFICALLY to increase regulation on Fanny and Freddie 12 times. But he was against regulation??

The difference? Obama isn't blaming all failures on Mitt Romney.

What does the FNMA (which does not originate loans) have to do with Lehman, Bear Stearns, and J.P. Morgan?

I liked Bush and he was a whole hell of a lot better than Obama, who added more to the deficit than all former presidents combined and started his own war in Afghanistan. And I like Romney. It's all good!

One was governor of Texas, the other of Massachusetts. Otherwise, nil.

Are you talking about the war that decimated al-Qaida and killed Osama bin Laden?

If it decimated Al-Qaeda, why were four Americans killed on 09/11/2012?
