I thniik Obama is getting what he and other democrats did to Bush. Its really just the same as we saw fopr 8 years and obama still can't keep himslef from doig it two years after elected. But I guess its better to focus attention away from his ploicy failures.Wait until next year as the election nears closer.

The losing side always bashes the winning side.

I'd rather stay out of the partisanship.

Who's Bush? Are you talking about old news again? That's in the past.

Get over yourselves, pretty even if you ask me, for both sides are guilty of doing the same thing. Like or not this is politics. Neither side, is guiltless of calling names of each other, and putting the other side down, different methods, same idology.

You are exactly right, that is my point: 2 years ago Obama became our Pres and still the Democrats are attacking Bush. Old news is right so let it die.

^I never hear of it. Hear them attacking Palin, and other Republicans, but not Bush. Bush is out of the picture.

Two years later it is now about 100 to 1.

Can people from both sides and even those in the middle get nasty at times, absolutely they can. My experience over years on several different discussion boards is that even though the above statement is accurate those with right-handed leanings will revert to insults and personal attack quicker, especially if they run out of facts or they begin to lose an argument. The situation got so out of hand at the last site that I and many other Libs, Moderates and a few of the rational Conservatives quit the site and moved on to this and other sites. I have seen a few Left-handed sites that were nearly as bad, but none where outright insults and personal attacks were allowed by the site owners or Mods. Anyways, that is my experience on who does what the most. None of it should be acceptable, but keep in mind that we are discussing politics, religion and many other sensitive issues and the road can get bumpy. One thing I do like to see is that a site such as this has so many active members, especially on this political section of the site. It speaks highly of America and the World that so many are willing to come here and discuss the issues that face us and occasionally we even learn something more about subjects since we have so many voices, I congratulate everyone that does participate here.

Excuse me but I still hear right-handers bring up Clinton on this board they do it daily, heck it was Clinton this and Clinton that for 16 Years and counting. Bush is still relevant because we are still involved with two wars and an economy that hit near bottom all begun under HIS watch that is fact whether or not you want to admit it makes no difference. By the way bringing up Bush is not an attempt to say everything is his fault, the Dems did their fair share to get us where we are today, but a reminder that this mess did not start 2 years ago and will not be fixed overnight. We now have a more balanced government let us all hope that those actually in office are just as balanced and get to work and deal with the issues, if not 2012 is right around the corner.
