Foreign policy - Bush
Economy - Obama
Big Brother style Big government - A tie
Overall I'd say they are equally bad only on different issues. If Obama manages to further entangle us in some military wet dream like Georgie, then he will be be worse. He's already managed to make Bush look like a fiscal conservative. Never thought I'd say that!
He's so much better, there's no comparison. You righties try to pretend that Bush left the country in great shape and that Obama caused this financial crisis. What, you have no memory? Who invaded Iraq based on lies? Who deregulated the financial industry to the point they were able to run the country into the ground? Who wasted all our surplus on a stupid war that wasn't needed? Huh? WHO? His name sure isn't Obama!
It'll take Obama's entire first term to get this country turned around from the mess Bush and Republicans caused!
Exactly.
It is so obvious that Obama is not just better but a freakin Messiah compared to W.
In less than a year and a half, he has created quite a mess, domestically and on foreign policy.
Want to explain how, exactly, he has created a mess on foreign policy? Bush was the biggest failure in a long, long time regarding foreign policy. Shaking a fist at the world threatening to drop bombs is NOT foreign policy- that is simply being a bully. What Obama is trying to do is FIX everything Bush broke in this regard.

Well right now Bush would be worse, Yes I hate Obama because he is a fraud and a communist. But he has not gotten us into any wars (yet), He hasn't passed any bills to supposedly help the u.s aka the patriot act Bush passed. But in the end I think Obama will go down as one of the worst ever.
This from people who *hate* tyranny? The Patriot Act is one of the worst pieces of government tyranny that has been passed in this country. You want freedom? Then you should not want Big Brother watching you which is what the Patriot Act allows.
The Patriot Act increases the governments surveillance powers in four areas:
1. Records searches. It expands the government's ability to look at records on an individual's activity being held by a third parties. (Section 215)
2. Secret searches. It expands the government's ability to search private property without notice to the owner. (Section 213)
3. Intelligence searches. It expands a narrow exception to the Fourth Amendment that had been created for the collection of foreign intelligence information (Section 218).
4. "Trap and trace" searches. It expands another Fourth Amendment exception for spying that collects "addressing" information about the origin and destination of communications, as opposed to the content (Section 214).
He has done nothing to change anything Bush did. He has perpetuated everything Bush signed from the Democrat controlled House and Senate and put it into high gear, getting a scratch to boot.
Bingo thank you so much, Obama is Bush on Steroids, using CRYSTAL METH! One no better then the next to me, pretty much the same. Same crap as usual, hate to say that, but the truth, they all talk so much trash talking while they are campaigning, get elected, and all hell breaks out. Pretty much the same, but i believe that obama will take us further into debt, wait and see.
Bush wasn't a fiscal conservative. How do you take the largest surplus in U.S. history and turn it into the largest deficit in U.S. history and not consider him to be spending irresponsibly as well?
Are you really any better than those praising Obama?
We had a little thing called 9/11, as well as the dot-com bubble that Clinton handed Bush. Bush, unlike Obama, did not spend his time blaming Clinton.
Do we have to go through the myth of the Clinton surplus AGAIN? Clinton ADDED to the national debt EVERY YEAR of his presidency.
Obama is currently spending at a rate of 3-4 times the deficits that Bush ran up.
Obama is by far the worst president in US history ALREADY (and he has two and half years to go!). It must make Carter feel pretty good to know that he will no longer hold the title as the worst president in US history.
