Balls without brains are as useless as teats on a bull as he so ably demonstrated and LEADing us into a useless, unnecessary war of choice that's done nothing to benefit America can hardly be considered leadership.

Bush but not for the reasons you said. Like I've said before the president is little more than a stool pigeon and at least Bush made me laugh. Obama mostly only has been funny before he went into office.
I'm sure Bush didn't know what he's doing but I honestly can't see the world messing up anymore than it has now.

Obama without a doubt. I think they BOTH personally were lousy presidents but Bush managed to get thousands killed on lies he knew were lies and many thousands more maimed for life...Oh and made the ME even more unstable with his idiotic actions. Any president that's to big of a chicken to fight for his country doesn't have the right to order troops into battle.

I would also probably have to vote for neither, but if I had to choose the lesser of two evils, it would be Bush.

I am a staunch conservative (but notice that I didn't say Republican), but I couldn't stand George W. when he was in office. So, I voted for Obama the FIRST time.

Little did I know at that time that a president could possibly be WORSE than Bush.

I don't wish that Bush would return, but compared to Obama, the Bush Administration was "the good old days".

O. Neither.

This is why I hate polls. I had one the other day concerning the Senate race. I made it clear I was not voting for either the (R) or (D) candidate. It didn't matter...another question.....Knowing that candidate A stands for _____ does that make you more or less likely to vote for candidate B?

Answer, I'm not voting for either.

Knowing that candidate A stands for.........

It doesn't matter, I'm voting for neither.

So are you saying you are not going to vote? No, I've already told you (at the beginning of the poll) that I was going to vote. There are candidates other than A or B.

O Neither.

Bush was held far more accountable by the mainstream media.

I would honestly rather have Bush back. I can acknowledge some change was needed after 2008, but Obama was not the way to go. Bush seems to be a better person and more personable. He also loves his country and is more classy. Obama is just a whiner and never gets things done. Bush was also more supportive of our military and would have taken down ISIS by now.
Let me know if Bush is coming back, and I'll sell my investments and wait for him to destroy the economy again, and then I'll buy my investments back dirt cheap.
