Bush did fine. . . . economy humming until Pelosi and dems took control of economy the last year. No further attacks. Able to keep the world focused on keeping Iran and NK free from nukes. Even well enough to be re-elected by a majority for a second term.
All achievements shown to be well over Obama's capability.

A nice comparison, 9 months vs 8 years to ruin America. Very good. I think the prez left his magic wand in Chicago.
GWB made these promises to America during his 2004 speech at the RNC. Which, if any, of these promises did he keep?
"My plan begins with providing the security and opportunity of a growing economy. We now compete in a global market that provides new buyers for our goods, but new competition for our workers. To create more jobs in America, America must be the best place in the world to do business."
"To create jobs, my plan will encourage investment and expansion by restraining federal spending, reducing regulation and making the tax relief permanent."
"To create jobs, we will make our country less dependent on foreign sources of energy."
"To create jobs, we will expand trade and level the playing field to sell American goods and services across the globe."
"In a new term, I will lead a bipartisan effort to reform and simplify the federal tax code."
"In these areas,(we will create American opportunity zones) we'll provide tax relief and other incentives to attract new business and improve housing and job training to bring hope and work throughout all of America."
"In a new term, we must allow small firms to join together to purchase (health) insurance at the discounts available to big companies."
"We will offer a tax credit to encourage small businesses and their employees to set up health savings accounts and provide direct help for low-income Americans to purchase them. These accounts give workers the security of insurance against major illness, the opportunity to save tax-free for routine health expenses, and the freedom of knowing you can take your account with you whenever you change jobs."
"We will provide low-income Americans with better access to health care. In a new term, I will ensure every poor county in America has a community or rural health center."
"To make health care more affordable and accessible, we must pass medical liability reform now."
"In a new term we will change outdated labor laws to offer comp-time and flex-time. Our laws should never stand in the way of a more family-friendly workplace."
"Tonight we set a new goal: 7 million more affordable homes in the next 10 years, so more American families will be able to open the door and say, "Welcome to my home."
I remember when "personal responsibility" was a REPUBLICAN value. That was before W and his apologists. W is reponsible for none of his broken promises. It's all Obama's fault! lol
He actually got a prescription drug plan passed for medicare patients after decades of promises from many presdients.He nalso reduced tax across the board.Many of teh other things like medical liabilty failed as demcrats and the trail lawyers blocked them.Certainly housing boomed even more than it did under clinton when the whole thing of putting people in houses they couldn't afford started.
Wow people must really be scared at how badly Obama is doing. That is the only time they drag out Bush.
Sorry. The scary one was Bush. This is just a response to all who say Obama hasn't kept his promises. Only difference is that his term isn't over and he's working vs. Bush traveled around on his mountain bike.

LOL no darlin. Obadma has not kept all his promises no President ever does. The issue is that whenever Obadma draws any type of negative press you get threads like this trying to divert back to the PAST. Not gonna take the attention off Obadma though.
