LOL, sorry to hear you missed the rebound, I have nearly doubled my net worth in the last two years. Things are looking pretty good here. Maybe you should ask for a raise, get an new job or go back to school and get some new job skills.
Do you forget where we were two and a half years ago, Trillions of dollars in TARP and free loans flowing out of the FED. Wall Street had shed over 40% of it market cap, $17 Trillion worldwide, the last 6 months of Bush's last term we shed almost 3 million jobs, an average of 500,000 a month. Since Jan, 2010 we have added almost 2 million jobs.
without Bush, we might have been without 9-11.

And I'm glad that Bush gets ZERO credit for anything Obama did; with the exception of the killing of Osama,
classic display of the gross hypocrisy of the right, take credit for the good and run from the bad.

even though it was merely for political gain. Bush should get 80 percent of the credit for killing Osama since HIS policies that enabled the intel to get this guy.
Obama campaigned on this on devoting more ressources to the War in Afghanistan and people act like it's a new out of the blue expansion of Bush policy.
He's doing exactly what he campaigned on in regards to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
thats exactly what he is doing right now over there ...good post!!

2 years ago the dollar was worth .34¢
Now according to Ron Paul, who took over the oversight, said the dollar is worth 4¢.
Did you really double or did you lose a fortune??
QE and your dollar is only worth .4¢
A loaf of bread, still costs .5¢
What you make for your hard work, is losing traction to the printed dollar bill.
gotta agree 100%. Bush got distracted in Iraq and lost sight of UBL. Not only did Obama have to clean up the mess Bush made of our ecomony, but he had to finish what Bush failed to do about Usama.
In school you get a ZERO for an incomplete, you get no credit when you withdraw from a class. Bush gets ZERO credit for anything Obama did.
Distracted?
"Then in 2004, top al-Qaida operative Hassan Ghul was captured in Iraq. Ghul told the CIA that al-Kuwaiti was a courier, someone crucial to the terrorist organization. In particular, Ghul said, the courier was close to Faraj al-Libi, who replaced Mohammed as al-Qaida's operational commander. It was a key break in the hunt for in bin Laden's personal courier.
'Hassan Ghul was the linchpin,' a U.S. official said."

Hanson is correct in saying Obama would never have been able to settle Bin Laden without GW Bush. Bush's policies of not pursuing Bin Laden, led to Obama's taking the steps needed. Had GW done what he should have, Bin Laden would have died many years ago.

Oh, do frickin' tell!
Secret CIA prisons in Poland and Romania we're Obama's policy?
Indefinite detention of enemy combatants was BO's Idea?
Enhanced interrogations no longer war crimes in BO's world?
What a load of BS!
The real Obama opposed almost everything Bush did to combat terrorism and that included locating UBL. Since coming to office he has gone after the very people within the CIA who worked so hard to make killing UBL possible.
"[Attorney General Eric] Holder has named longtime prosecutor John H. Durham, who has parachuted into crisis situations for both political parties over three decades, to open an early review of nearly a dozen cases of alleged detainee mistreatment at the hands of CIA interrogators and contractors."
"Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, detainees in the CIA's secret prison network told interrogators about an important courier with the nom de guerre Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti who was close to bin Laden. After the CIA captured al-Qaida's No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, he confirmed knowing al-Kuwaiti but denied he had anything to do with al-Qaida.

If a pitcher is taken out of a baseball game due to his letting too many men on base or whatever, and a relief pitcher comes in who pitches a winning game, in your mind would you give credit to the first pitcher?
Its really sad that in this victorious moment for all Americans, there are still some who let their hatred and animosity against our president distort their view on reality.
