At least I can respect this response.Even though I believe his intentions are better, O's presidency has been short so your response is a valid one.

Please do not post what you cannot back up. he is not "Loved" around the world just because he is not despised like bush was. He has some stregnth but loved around the world is a bit overboard.

Why couldnt Bush ride Clintons coat tail? You must be ignorant of the fact that Bush came into office with a recession taking place, but hey.. dont let the facts stand in the way of lies..
"Some" schools have unions and not nearly all of them.When I went to HS and college 89-99 the schools DID NOT teach about gay people and health class was stressed and not sex education.I was raised in long island NY which is considered a liberal area so your thoughts on an agenda from the schools is FALSE. As far as the recession taking place when Bush came in,that's a lie.The housing market looked like a potential problem but like everything else that people told him,Georgie Boy ignored it. The country was in a solid financial standing with unemployment very low and was also told about potential terrorist possibilities which was another thing he ignored.If you want to talk about agenda think of 9/11. Bush was told NOT IRAQ numerous times by his own people but like a broken record he kep asking, IRAQ? No,Mr.President! IRAQ? No,Mr.President! But did he listen? Nope,and now he is responsible to for over 3000 lives lost there. Let me make it easy for the simple minded. BUSHIE BOY is a lying egomaniac who thought he could bully the world and that's why our economy sucks. With friendly relations with other countries means good trading between nations (importing/exporting) but the schmo wouldn't allow that to happen either.The guy SINGLEHANDEDLY flushed this country down the toilet!!!

gee what Conservative thoughts or ideas those might be? A Aspirin between your legs?or would it be a Tylenol now?

If you need further help on Conservative ideas I suggest the Rush Limpballs show!

Just make sure you can get by the OXYCOTIN the SOB was busted in Miami Customs or perhaps the underaged prostitutes he was hanging out with in the Dominican Repuplic while on vacation!

Lightbulb Congress sends stimulus bill to Bush

They will have to tweek certain programs and maybe add more funds in other areas but at least they are TRYING to do what's best and not trying to sell us on some more WMD's.
If Bush had walked away from the fall of the towers, the people would have called him a wus! He was in a darn if I do, darn if I don't situation. And now you'll come back to me and say that had nothing to do with it....really ya think?

Next the stimulus package you are so gun ho on patting Obama on the back for was a Bush baby. The stimulus plan began late of the year 2007. Final approval Jan 29, 2008 and it was Congresses idea!

Congress sends stimulus bill to Bush - CNN.com
On Wednesday, seven Republicans joined 51 Democrats in supporting the broader Senate package, which would have injected about $50 billion more into the sagging economy than the plan President Bush and House leaders supported. But the Senate ended up two votes short of the 60 votes needed to advance the bill in the face of a GOP filibuster.

The nearly $150 billion package Bush proposed last month was approved overwhelmingly by the House January 29.
Wake up and smell the granola bar folks. Obama is following Congress, not Congress following Obama.

WMD? would you have rather them people come back and knock us around a bit more? To hear you tell it that is exactly what it would have to take in order for you to believe it. They wanted our attention and they got it. Enough said.

Next time though when you are looking at the Obama administrations plans, you may want to think back on where and when the idea originated.

Plus, he's already spent as many days in the WH as Bush 43 did in eight years. George sure knows how to go after pesky mesquite or Russian olives...just not so good on the winning wars, catching bin Laden or balancing a budget parts.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

Cuz we're movin' on up

Default Obama vs. W

Dubya: disastrous

Obama: way too early for judgements

But even at this early date, it's extremely unlikely that Obama will be anywhere in the same ball park with Bush for incompetence and damage caused.
