You have negated to give Bush the credit he deserves in Obama's success' you mention.
I said: benefited America in it's ENTIRITY.
See, I didn't vote for the Iraq War.
I'm only paying for it.
The withdrawal from Iraq was already determined under the Bush
administration. I'm sure intelligence going back to the Bush administration
also contributed to the kill of Bin Laden.
The government spent $79.3 billion assisting General Motors and Chrysler, and the first aid was approved by the
Bush administration as part of TARP. Obama only continued it.
Sure, it saved companies and some jobs in the process.
But, your #1 #2, #3 is no feather in anyone's individual cap, let alone
Obama's.
We all know Government IS the number one employer, but I'm not fond of public union jobs Obama may have saved/kept, using my tax payer dollars.
Now you are just being silly and playing a childish "I have my fingers in my ears so I can't hear what you are saying" game - which REALLY makes me doubt the "I didn't vote for Bush" claim you just made.
The guy in charge over the last 3 years was NOT Bush. Bush didn't pull us OUT of Iraq - though he DID get us IN. Bush didn't find and kill Bin Laden - though he DID let him slip through his fingers in Afghanistan. Bush didn't inherit an economy shedding 700,000+ jobs/month and turn it into one creating 200,000+ jobs/month - though he DID leave his successor to clean up his messes.
NO ONE with any common sense can possibly buy your silly argument. Bush was an unmitigated disaster - one sooooo bad that by the end of his term even his own party was ashamed to be associated with him. He left the country a mess - which Obama has had to clean up.
So are you going to put Bush on trial?????????????
I`m not but if one state AG were to file charges,this man would prosecute for no fee. He`s been successful in 105 of the 106 felony cases he`s prosecuted.He locked up Charlie Manson and the Bush case would likely be easier.

I have not repeatedly called Obama Bush III for nothing on CD
Obama has continued most of Bush Jr policies, in fact, doubling
down on some. And there's nothing silly about that.
It would be laughable that I'd vote for Bush, let alone Obama.
I've been a Libertarian my whole life, with the exception of voting
Paul in Republican primaries.
I don't detest Obama the way I did, let's say, Cheney, but
for Obama supporters to ignore his failings and/or
lack of successes is sad and silly
I have not met one Obama supporter from '08 in person, that
is not thoroughly disappointed in what Obama promised and what he
delivered. Seriously, not one.
Don't like those teachers, or firefighters, or police in your community, huh? I guess you'd prefer 50 kids in a classroom, neighborhoods burning to the ground, and criminals roaming your streets. Those "first responders" pulling people from the wreckage of the tornadoes are probably union employees some of whom have jobs today because of the stimulus bill.
Actually I'm against one teacher per 16 pupil ratio in a classroom.
I'm also for getting rid of the federal Department of Education.
That's a promise Ronald Reagan made and every Republican since
has made, but never delivered on....but all this is a thread all it's own.
Seriously, are you going to have stimulus bills at the federal level indefinitely,
to maintain jobs at the local level. How long do you think you can sustain that.
A tax dollar at the local level should determine what a municipality can, and
can not afford in that regard.
For the record, government and union employees should never exist in
the same sentence
A larger government at the federal level has never contributed to a safer
local community. The notion that a leaner federal government results in chaos on the streets is nothing but fear mongering.
Try ending the War on drugs if you want "less criminals" on the streets.

Sure, no one is happy that it's taken so long to turn things around - but that's the way it is. The economy was pretty messed up & isn't going to be completely fixed overnight - and it IS true that the more Left-leaning members of the Democratic Party are not happy that Obama hasn't pushed a more Left-leaning agenda. That's their problem. Despite the way the Right painted him he was NEVER a Radical Left-Leaning candidate to be begin with - but rather was a Left-Leaning Moderate - which is WHY I LIKED HIM. Neither extreme - either Right or Left is ever happy with their candidate for the very reason that NO ONE has ever been elected who is very extreme. This is a good thing in my opinion. I don't want radical swings to the Left or Right I want someone more or less in the middle who's a pragmatist instead of dogmatist. The Far Left wanted "socialized medicine" and they didn't get it so they are unhappy about that. That's too bad. It was never a realistic expectation to begin with - no President is King and he always has to work in conjunction with Congress and Congress will only go so far. That's just the way it is. All things considered, Obama has done remarkably well - despite an open hostile GOP he's managed to get quite a few of his goals accomplished. Would I have liked more? Sure - I'll take what I can get - and for the most part I'm as satisfied with Obama as I've been with any other new President - and moreso than with most.
