Bush was not good, but Bush was FAR better than Obama. He was better on spending (only b/c Obama is a disaster), taxes, national security, not using phrases like 'man caused disaster,' judicial nominations, transparency, immigration, energy, 2nd amendment, healthcare, regulations and down the list.

I was disappointed with W, as he did not govern as a conservative. Besides being a social conservative, he really isn't conservative to begin with though he was supportive of lower taxes. That said, he was NOT purposely trying to destroy the country and did not support policies that are failing and will continue to fail.

I feel ya! At this point the only thing that keeps me on board is that the Republicans are worse. But I am honestly thinking maybe Hillary was not so bad after all.

No but he continues to murder them on a lie. I thought he would end the wars long before now. We should have been coming out of Iraq the week he was sworn in.

I had major problems with Bush on many levels - despite all that, I never doubted that 9/11 impacted him seriously and that he became driven by our National Security. I think it defined his Presidency. I never for a moment thought Bush did not take the whole thing very seriously - neither did most of the military. They love him to this day.

I can't say any of that about Obama. It's not so much that I think he is "anti-American" as many say - he is just "pro-Obama". He is still on the campaign trail and it's Obama first/last/always. Good for him (in his eyes) but not necessarily good for country. I've never seen such an out of tune with the American people President in my lifetime.

He just doesn't care about anything other than the "Obama Brand" and his "historic" relevance. Every day is another campaign speech, no real Governing. A real disappointment and dangerous for our uncertain times.
