NOTHING. He was President for 8 years and he did nothing to stop the shady mortgage lending practices that resulted in inflating the sub-prime interest rate for mortgages, his administration pushed Fannie Mae to buy up more and more 'risky loans', his administration did nothing to stop the shady financial activities of the private sector, SEC blames his administration for their understaffing which they claim is the reason they missed Madoff's illegal activities, deregulation may have started before he took the helm but what did he do about it, NOTHING. Blame Clinton all you want but he wasn't President these past 8 years.

So in response to your question,

In his 8 years in office, the only things Bush did for his country was to ensnare us in a war for no reason other than smoke screen. He cost the American people, to date, 4316 sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, grandfather, friends, neighbors, coworkers in Iraq and, he cost the American people the loss of 3056 lives on 9/11.

Very simple answer... he is toxic... radioactive to the GOP... which he, more than anyone else, helped tear down.

I guess this forum is one of the last refuges for the disenfranchised on the extreme right...

They banter back and forth with the other sore-losers here - and they actually think that they are having some influence on national politics...

Oh well - what did PT Barnum say - there's a sucker born every second!!
Thanks for the support. And remember what Lincoln said: You can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time.

Care to explain your statement about ' entitlement sick poor and worthless'?

Who exactly are you talking about?

Minorities??

Immigrants???

Why do you call them 'entitlement poor'.

Why do you call them 'worthless'...

Do you consider yourself to be their superior???

simple. if you bought things you couldn't afford, you had entitlement disease. you thought you had earned what you did not. I call them worthless because anyone who takes more than they give, is by very definition, worthless. nice try on the race baiting, but they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.

So in response to your question,

In his 8 years in office, the only things Bush did for his country was to ensnare us in a war for no reason other than smoke screen. He cost the American people, to date, 4316 sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, grandfather, friends, neighbors, coworkers in Iraq and, he cost the American people the loss of 3056 lives on 9/11.
You do not understand how things work.

Your liberal buddy Bill Clinton caused the mortgage issues and it came to a head when another liberal Barney Frank failed to do his job.

Do not forget Obama and his ties to both Fannie and Freddie and he did nothing either.

Do not pretend you care about the soldiers and please stop using them as a tool. Your liberal congress voted to send them to war also, the President did not send them, the congress voted to send them.

And do not blame Bush for 9/11 when it was clear as hell that Clinton failed to listen to the warnings for many years.

Now, I will put you on a big spot, so if anything happens to us from here on in you are saying since it happened on Obama's watch it will be totally his fault correct? Because that is what you saying.


Stop the double liberal standards all the time. If something good happens you want to give Obama credit, if anything bad happens it is Bush who caused it.

ONE MORE TIME FOR YOU!

Congress has been totally controlled by for 2 1/2 years and have accomplished ZERO.

Obama and your liberal congress have had total control of our country for 4 months ( 2 1/2 years ) and have accomplished ZERO.


Just to let you know something else, Obama promised on day one he would work on getting our troops out of Iraq, so far he doesnt even talk about it.
More then 100 of our brave soliders have died under Obama's watch even after he said he would make it a top priority to get them home. He lied!

Keep your boots on, because from Jan 20 on anything and everything that happens is totally Obamas fault. With liberals controlling congress they should be able to get things done right?

The blame game will continue because liberals control it all. Look what they have done so far. The records speak for themselves.

NEGATIVE jobs from Obama
Higher bankruptcy and foreclosures under Obama
Gas prices going up under Obama
More illegals entering into the country then ever before
Korea threathening us with missiles
the list goes on and on and on.

What would you say if I blamed Obama for more then 100 innocent Iranians being killed while he was getting ice cream with his kids and doing nothing.
Shame on him. Guess the ice cream was more important.

Can you begin to comprehend the power of a presidential veto???

Even though one party holds a thin majority in Congress - it can be totally neutralized by a Presidential veto - one which Bush yielded, or threatened to yield, many times in his last 2 years in office...

Anyone who does not comprehend this knows very very little about how government works... about how things get done or not...
