What is it when democrats say Bush destroyed our nation? Heck if you looked you'll find many democrats on this board that still say it to this day
In many ways, he did. There is no need for me to repeat his administrations failures, many of them both egregious in nature and their appalling lack of respect for human life and dignity. He set an incredibly dangerous future precedent for this democracy, one that may threaten its very existence someday. It includes preemptive war, torture, voter disenfranchisement, blatant deregulation, contempt for the environment, and financial recklessness and free for all spending habits, with most of the monies going to corporatist's and the military industrial complex. All of this has happened previously, but torture was not part of foreign policy, to say nothing of the disinformation that accompanied the invasion of Iraq and the other ways this adminsitration brought this country an ideological and bitterly partisan political legacy.
I can honestly look back on the Bush era and say that he did not do one thing that was good for the American people, yet there are millions that think he was a good President.

Name the good things Obama has done and explain why they are good for the nation as a whole.
Explain the benefits of tax hikes, cap and trade, amnesty, increased regulations, activist judges (who won't deny that the Government can tell us what to eat) and card check.
How's IL doing under the public sector union controlled welfare state model?

It's not my job to educate you. I merely stated the rationale for people saying that Bush "destroyed" this country. In many ways, the amount of willful and purposeful (not accidental, but with deliberate, obvious intent) destruction that the Bush Admin. left behind is quite easy to see. Much like the ongoing oil spill, the Bush legacy will continue to worsen after his last day in office.
This is what Pres. Obama inherited, to say nothing of the political apparatus already in place that's sole purpose is to derail any progress towards repair.
(SEE: GOP + Filibuster, or, just GOP)
Thats the Bush era. The toxic gift that keeps on giving.

The reason you could not answer my questions is that those policies are NOT good for the country. To be honest, you'll (likely) be hurt with them yourself, as there aren't very many people who are helped by Obama's policies. Trial lawyers and union bosses, maybe... but not the rest of us.
Every time I ask someone to explain how and why Obama's policies are good for American, they always fail to answer. The reason is that Obama's policies are DISASTROUS for America, his supports very much included.

Obama's policies are only good for the rich white americans.
President Obama is no moron. Inexperienced,yes, but he's getting plenty of on the job experience.
Ninty-Eight per cent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans.It's the other two per cent that get all the publicity. But then we elect them.
Very mature thread. Obviously it takes a great mind to come up with such a brilliant thought.
