Most of us don't have to 'Hope'. The dude is a one timer period. History will call it an ERROR.

Or, does America's arrogance persist but with a nicer (less smirky) face?
We know we miss him as a President, especially compared to the turd we have in office now.
We are probably not as safe because Obama did say he was dropping some of the safety measures Bush was using.
Bush on the other hand is a daily target of assassination due to the war, his being an ex President and the kooks on the left.

I don't work for him.
you are bitter than me, I am not bitter, so maybe you are bitter than me, or did you mean better? I can't believe anyone here would think he/she is better than someone else posting here: how totally sad..it says something about the person who thinks he/she is better. and what it says isn't very nice.

It never ceases to amaze me that people stupidly or conveniently forget that we had the worst terrorists attack on our soil in USA history ON BUSH'S WATCH!!! He was eight months into his Presidency, so at this juncture, it is safe to say that Obama has kept us safer.

Clinton had Oklahoma City and the first World Trade Center bombing on his watch. Would that make him twice as bad at keeping us safe? Up until 9/11, terrorism was something that happened "somewhere else", even with these two aforementioned events. Unfortunately, we can no longer afford to have that feeling of immunity anymore and at the very least, we are better aware of the threats that are out there and might strike. Would it have been a different scenario under Gore, for instance? The reality is that 9/11 likely would have happened with Gore as well given our stance on terrorism until this point.

Present unemployment rate = 9.0%.
Unemployment rate at Obama's inauguration =7.7%
Subtract _________

= 1.3%



Are you working with some new conservative math or something?

A terrorist attack which took at least 5 years to plan. Who was in office during the 5 years before 2001? What did he do to prevent the planned attack?

Oh, guess you're not looking at the totality of his tenure. Hmm, okay.

Gee! You would think, in that case, Bush would have taken all the pre 9/11 intelligence about Osama planning to attack America by hijacking US airplanes seriously.
