Thread: Bush vs Obama

Hey, members.
I want you to vote for your favourite. Obama´s tenure is not done yet and maybe, there will be a second one. But we know his course and how his is working.
Please note, this is not a Republican vs Democrats poll. So, e.g. if your heart beats for the Democrats but you think that Bush did a better job, vote for Bush.

I can't vote ... its a choice between a turd and vomit.

I can't vote for either one. BOTH were big spenders--Bush wasn't a conservative--and Obama is a socialist--so I can't vote.

Bush spent 1.6 BILLION dollars a day.
Barack Obama is spending 4.3 BILLION dollars a day.

And the lowest of all was Bill Clinton who was spending 432 million dollars a day.

Neither one of them is what I consider a good President. And both of them have put us in an ENORMOUS economic fiscal crisis.

Give us some more choices!

While I agree with you on all points... I'll take Bush any day. Far, far better than Obama.

You might get more revealing results if you asked which one is doing worse. Since the crash, Dubya hasn't come out with any plans to fix the economy that I've heard. Or any rebuttal to the criticisms of his failed (but now entrenched) policies. Not even an endorsement of any Republican challenger. Or an opinion about Obamacare.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, he has the class to keep his opinions to himself and not hinder the next President coming in.

I don't disagree- but all former Presidents could actually advance the debate if they'd weigh in on subjects they care about, and offer ideas they think could help solve National problems.

Perhaps, but if they differ with the President in office at the time, it does damage both themselves and the office to be seen to be micro-managing the Presidency o the next guy coming in. Plus a lot of the Bush inner circle figured saying nothing would boost his legacy a lot faster, and it has - he is far more popular than the day he left office and a lot faster than if he had been making the case himself.

I'll take Bush. At least his admin understood the needs of the small businesses that employ 80% of all working Americans. He did some things I didn't like (spending), but he's better than ol clueless.
