Sure, this is a no-brainer. Get someone worse in office and the previous loser becomes a great man. We just need someone worse than Obama and his numbers will soar.

I wasn't thrilled at the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act as many others were not pleased as well.

I just thought about something here: IF Bush 43 still out polls Obama in 2016; that WON'T look good for who wins the Dem nomination.

In the post 9/11 environment, when there was a consensus that we should fight our enemies, Bush did so, leaving a free and relatively stable Iraq that could have served as an example for all of the Middle East. Then Obama waltzes in, unilaterally and completely withdraws our troops, and now it is a seething terrorist hot bed. Other regions that were stabilized under Bush such as Russia and Libya have also fallen apart.

Obama has given us one of the most unpopular bills in history in Obamacare.

The future will judge Bush as a likable, capable president who has some hard times and a press that distorted everything he did, and Obama as a disgrace to the office.

Is this sarcasm? Cuz if it aint, it's pure delusion.

Not even that, it is just human nature as something gets older, we tend to remember the good more than we do the bad. That is just something the brain likes to do.

I kinda chuckle about the right wingers who are ate up with Obama being considered "historically" as the worst president ever.

When historians don't come to that conclusion and indicate that Obama was not the worst president (or even close to it)..........

Then we will hear about how "liberal" the historians are.

Don't forget attacked 24x7 by the media for 6+ years, EVERY fault broacast over and over, no success reported, the exact opposite the way the media treats Obama. Is it any wonder that 6 years after the constant attacks ended (going down to just a couple blame attempts a week) that Bushs approval rating is going up? And in spite of being the media darling Obama is STILL polling lower than Bush.

Bush and his incredibly inept administration created the middle east mess. Against all odds, Obama and his team have made it worse. But Hillary will be a catastrophe.

America is in a death spiral, without a real leader in sight anywhere.
