I have seen pictures of Obama with the same mustache (photo shopped onto him) as that piece of sh-- and I wonder what the hell society is thinking. I hated Bush and I wouldn't even have referred to him this way. So what kind of idiotic comparison is this? Did people sleep for 8 years? Has anyone in the US recently killed millions that we didn't hear about? Anyone else seen these ridiculous posters?
That's what you get from learning from lefty multiculturist history textbooks in K-12. Maybe if they learned something about other US Presidents with crappy socialist policies and wicked spending ways, they'd have better examples of leaders to compare him to.

The short answer is they don't know anybody else because they were too busy learning about inconsequential people for multiculturism sake. But everybody knows Hitler.

But even Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer and Dick Durbin run to the nazi comparisons when they need people to be upset in their favor. Google Pelosi, Boxer, Soros or Durbin with the word nazi.

"Pristine economy?" Now there's a fine piece of revisionism. In March 2000 the economy went into recession. But every time during the campaign that Bush warned about the problems in the economy he was slammed for "talking down the economy." Those problems were compounded by the attacks on 9/11 and the devastation to the financial and airline industries. Add to that the cost of the war in Afghanistan and then the war in Iraq. Despite all that the unemployment rate in the 8 years of the Bush administration averaged about 5%. What dragged down the economy in Bush's final year was the meltdown of the real estate market--a bubble largely created by the Dems in Congress. Which is not to say that Bush didn't make mistakes. His huge budgets were a drag on the economy. But even his last budget deficit of 450 billion is still only a quarter of the annual deficits that Obama has run up in the last two years. Given a choice most people would opt for a return to the Bush years rather than face the prospect of another 2.5 years of mismanagement under Obama.

I think we are slamming Hitler a little too hard. Obama's domestic agenda is very similar to Hitler's with the exception of the genocide. The big difference is that Hitler had a better economy.

Oh wait, death panels is sooo 6 months ago. Umm... Hitler practiced national socialism, while Obama practices socialism. And because both contain the word "socialism," they are exactly the same thing. That is why the socialists were Hitler's biggest allies.

That is why. National socialism = socialism.
Ignorant response.

A reminder............Hitler, Mao, Stalin, etc. didnt START as genocidal mass murderers......they started with a popular agenda, and grew into their respective places in history as a result of their manipulations of their populace that supported their actions at first, and later found they supported those actions to put themselves in a position of no longer being able to reverse course when they realized things had gone off the rails.(And many never did figure it out until their country was in ruins, are YOU prepared to wait that long?) They reached a tipping point where the balance of power (decision making) passed from the people to the government, and noticed it too late.

I think those things are happening again. And sadly, I think we may have passed the tipping point already. Pointing fingers at Bush, or Obama, or anyone before or after them is pointless......they are little more than figure heads, selected by the real power that is consolidating it's position as we argue amongst ourselves over who was better, or worse. The election process, the handing off of presidential power every four to eight years is allowed to continue, at this point to maintain the illusion that nothing has changed.........in the meantime, the policies put in place by each of differing parties over the past two decades have remained unchanged. Did Obama repeal the patriot act?......OR....... Did he sign ever more obtrusive executive orders?............Indeed THINK. Comparing Bush or Obama to Hitler is pointless, they really dont have the brains he did, but the power pulling the strings of either of them is far smarter than Hitler ever was.

Now go back to the left/right beat down you all enjoy so much.......they're counting on you to continue doing just that. Beck and Olbermann will egg you on, day after day, all day, to keep you doing just that.....

Yachtcare has spoken.......

Now that's revisionism the recession started in March 2001. And yes the President telling people that the economy is in a recession for two months will cause a lack of confidence that will lead to a recession.

You mean when Bush and the Republican congress bailed out the airline industry and the insurance companies. Funny the teabaggers never said a peep during that.

Quote:

Those costs that never seemed to make into Bush's budget. I wonder why?

Quote:

Bush never allowed an extension to the unemployment insurance. Thus when peoples unemployment ran out they were no longer counted.

That must be what Rove meant when he said just keep repeating the lie.

Quote:

Which did not include his wars.

Quote:

Which does include the cost of the wars.

If you don't believe that Rasmussen will come out with a poll to say so.

They compare Obama to Hitler because:

1. They are idiots,
2. They are idiots, and
3. They are idiots.
