Bush also BORROWED and put on our "credit card" MORE than ANY PRESIDENT COMBINED IN OUR HISTORY.
Are you sure about that?
Wanna try again !

President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents -- spending nearly double what his predecessor did when he came into office and far exceeding the first-year tabs for any other U.S. president in history.
CAMBRIDGE July 17 -- The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research met yesterday. At its meeting, the committee determined that a trough in business activity occurred in the U.S. economy in November 2001. The trough marks the end of the recession that began in March 2001 and the beginning of an expansion. The recession lasted 8 months, which is slightly less than average for recessions since World War II.
The committee noted that the most recent data indicate that the broadest measure of economic activity-gross domestic product in constant dollars-has risen 4.0 percent from its low in the third quarter of 2001, and is 3.3 percent above its pre-recession peak in the fourth quarter of 2000.
Clinton could have spent TRILLIONS of dollars all through out his presidency, and nothing would have prevented 9-11. Simply b/c Bush was on the watch, and was sitting for 11 minutes...DOING NOTHING.
You can have all the hardware and military on stand by alert, yet if the watchman is sleeping...no one gets the word. Bush and his cronies and failure of a staff failed on 9-11. No one else.
still trying to blame bush for 9/11, but the reality is that the clinton administration is the one that set up the walls between the intelligence agencies that prevented them from sharing information that could have been acted on earlier and perhaps stopping the attacks. and what was bush supposed to do in front of a bunch of school children? was he supposed to jump up in a panic and rush out, even though there was NOTHING he could do at the moment? was he supposed to tell the kids, sorry i cant finish here because the country was attacked?
what bush did was remain calm in a crisis, but because you hate bush so much, you are blind to the effort.
Gotta love all the right wing ignorance and world famous repug "twist and blame" Clinton gave us the biggest surplus in US history and handed W the road map to keep it going. He tore it to shreds and went on a spending spree for his rich cronies. 1.2 trillion to big banks that screwed over the american people, a war we were lied to about and never should have gone in the first place, tax cuts for the rich,...all these failed policies caused us the go from the biggest surplus, to the biggest deficit in history.
It take a real idiot to pull that one off,..

Dot-Com Bubble
The crash wiped about $6 trillion off stocks as investors concluded that prices weren’t supported by profits at companies such as Broadcom Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. The effects spilled into the broader economy, driving the U.S. into recession.

its amazing that people forget what Bush did after 9-11. Most Americans were so glad that Bush was president instead of Gore. Can you imagine what he would have done?
Gore: Ok, lets not jump to conclusions. Our muslim friends can't be offended. maybe we can put some sanctions on Al-Queda. That should teach them not to mess with the USA
The Bush 43 Administration was told explicitly when it took office that the biggest threat to national security was terrorism and Al-Qaeda in particular. Nobody in the administration REALLY took that advice seriously. It was the lack of vigilance by the Bush 43 Administration that lead to the massive intelligence failure which contributed to 9/11/2001.
Bush thumpers should be worried? Umm, I've got news for you... G.W. Bush isn't running for office in November. And, you can throw out all the fake stats you want about Obama, but the voters will have their say.
fake stats....sure. The lies are easy to see...the come w/ a little R at the end of a person's name.
The same deadbeats who are asking to be put back into power are the same EXACT deadbeats who rubber-stamped EVERYTHING, that W put in front of them. So IT IS about Bush, and especially about those who have shown time and time again how miserably they failed.
Doh! You're gonna feel even more awkward than you think already...please read your title of your link....now go back and re-read again. Words do matter....and the words you're looking for are FIRST-YEAR.
Nice try...but that one obviously blew right by you.

A bunch of crap. Walls about intelligence sharing DID NOT APPLY to the terrorists of 9-11. In fact if you go back and actually read and learn something, the failure was that the information was NOT shared...NOT BECAUSE it couldn't be, but because the departments themselves DIDN'T WANT TO. There is NO WALL that would preclude any information sharing between intelligence agencies OF NON-AMERICAN'S. Another conservative LIE.
And yes. A decisive and cognitive person, interupts the teacher and says, "I'm sorry, something has come up and we need to cut our time here short. I've really enjoyed our time together, but I must go."
That simple. Instead, he sat there thinking "I picked the wrong decade to quit sniffing glue!"
I hate Bush for the failure he was and for the catastrophic disaster he unleashed on my Country. The only blind one here are the one's who continue to push false-hood after proven false-hood in true un-American fashion.
