Yeah look at 2001 thru 2008, when the policies were established that you're now giving Obama credit for.

Actually oil production went down under Bush.
No, the economy and jobs are getting better despite what President or things Washington does. If free market is the key, then its the free market thats helping. I don't give President Obama credit for the jobs, but you can't take it away from him either. When Bush left office we were losing jobs at a exponential rate. Before the beginning of the year 2011, the loss of jobs had quelled if not stopped completely.
What has the Republican congress done to create jobs? Nothing. They've passed next to no legislation that has made it into law.
No, its well documented that the information that lead to Usama Bin Laden didn't come from "enhanced" interrogation techniques.
No, Bush's strategy is what lead us to having to be there as long as what we were, and we should have never been there to begin with. The timeline for withdrawl wasn't suggested until President Obama took office. Bush planned to stay indefinitely.
No, we lost more money, had bigger more costly wars, expanded our deficit well beyond any other President before that time, and expanded the role of government in private lives.
Even conservatives will tell you that the Bush 8 years were a failure.
