For instance, I criticize Bush and the Republican party based on 8 years of Republican performance. You had 8 years to create an environment that fostered economic growth; 8 years to control illegal immigration; 8 years to present a plan for better health care; 8 years to avoid a housing crisis; 8 years to keep foreign labor from displacing qualified American workforce; You had 8 years to deal with out-of-control street gangs; 8 years you had. Your warmongering meant that a trillion dollars would be dumped into a region of the world that you knew nothing about, an effort that was a total failure. The Cartoon Network could do more to influence the ideology of the Islamic fundamentalists than any "shock and awe" display. For 8 years, your warmongering meant that damn near 50 states would go into an economic free fall that is still stinging big time. It is this 8 years that I can unequivocally say, that Republicans don't have a clue and that Bush was the worst ever. EVER.

Obama is not even a year into his 8 years in office. You have no substantive basis to criticize him because his work is not yet completed. Get it? The extraordinary man was handed a shameful Republican mess, where domestic issues across the board were ignored for 8 horrific Republican years.

He is beyond reproach as far as you Regressives are concerned...and don't you forget it either.
everyone has a right to opinions and the make them known. You obviously thought Bush did everything wrong from your comments here, others feel Obama has accomplished nothing and hurt our country. Why do they have to wait 8 years or maybe only 4 to voice thier opinions? Do you think, no one attacked Bush from day one or sooner??\
And this crap about "it isn't his fault" that sounds like a mommy telling the police, about how good her little criminal really is and he was put up to it. Let's not take the blame, it is always someone else's fault.

Though I agree with you on Bush's abysmal record, I have to say that I disagree about waiting until a president is out of office before anyone can criticize him. That is one of the major freedoms we have in this country, the freedom to disagree with our elected officials and voice that disagreement. And, though I voted for the man, I do not consider him to be 'beyond reproach'. I certainly do not agree with everything he's said or done, either since the election or before it.

I didn't see the poll but I voted NO. In the absence of a free press, the citizens must take opposition as their own responsibility.

Criticism of Obama unjustified until AFTER he leaves office

Absolutely!
It's like going into a garage for a service and telling your mechanic he hasn't done a good job when he has just started the service and only opened the hood and changed the oil.

Bascailly the liberals never stopped complainig of bush. But even nthen Oabam has spent more money on getting nothing done than any president in history.That would be liike having a kid with your credit card and not complaing about it until he grewup;then the judge would look at you and say;your stuipd it seems.

Yeah but when he strips your drain plug and spills oil all over your engine compartment, you have a right to speak up.
