If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?



So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 14 months -- so you'll have two years and ten months to come up with an answer




The truth hurts more than lies.

I dont see how anyone can say that Obama isnt getting away with things that Bush would have never gotten away with.

Heck they are so similar but yet you watch certain media and talk to certain people and you'd think they were totally different.

Wade52, way to change the subject. Wake up. Skoro, I think you made a typo. Obama said he did cocaine and is even suspected of worse.

What qualifies as worse than cocaine? Heroin, methadone?

No way Bush used a teleprompter, no way. Unless his buddy Rummy was putting the words in and playing jokes on Dubya.
