Regarding civil rights violations; Eric Holder’s justice department expanded the civil rights division and a specific example would be a look into the Ferguson incident. There are others as well that you’re free to Google…

Prior to Obama marriage equity only existed between heterosexuals…
blah blah blah...same old tired talking points. If what this administration has "accomplished" is so great for our country, why the buyers remorse towards obama? This administration, which was so highly touted to "fundamentally transform America" (their words) is a total failure. A progressive transformation has begun and Americans are unhappy.

Any remaining die hard supporters of obama are the minority now.

Ignoring facts won't prove your point, it only makes you look like a liberal.

If you didn't have anything substantial to add, why even reply? And you're right my mind can't be changed because it's already made up about this subject. But I'm not here posting to alter and enhance my opinion. I'm here to debate others with a different opinion...

When you can't win the debate on merit go ahead and generalize... My post was very specific and directed towards legitimate strategy differences. If I'm wrong tell me this? Why wasn't healthcare part of the conservative platform prior to Democrats putting forth legislation to fix a broken system?

I see someone has hacked the vote totals to increase Obama's share in the poll. Over 40 Obama votes since this morning? I don't think so.

I voted for Obama, as well as others. It looks like even on a right leaning board like CD; people recognize that Obama is a much better president than Bush ever was...

Just like the Liberals to even try to steal this vote. They just can't resist.

I would honestly rather have Bush back. I can acknowledge some change was needed after 2008, but Obama was not the way to go. Bush seems to be a better person and more personable. He also loves his country and is more classy. Obama is just a whiner and never gets things done. Bush was also more supportive of our military and would have taken down ISIS by now.
Considering how much blame is put on Bush for the country's here and now problems, I thought he still is the prez.

Both were lousy presidents but I have to say it's a draw. When Bush was in the office, our safety was under attack & now with Obama in the office our currency is under attack!

Do you think the Liberals will continue to blame Bush all during Hillary's presidency as well? I'll bet they will. The name "Bush" is only four letters. Some Liberals are educated enough to spell a four-letter word.

Just the healthcare reform alone makes Obama an over achiever. What did Bushy accomplish in comparison? Entangled us in a war that seem to never end and already costs few thousand lives of American soldiers and effectively destabilized the region, clearing the stage for Muslim fanatics. Even if Obama didn't do anything he would still be a 100fo,d better president than GW Bush
