    • ^^ THANK YOU, finally.

      And Obama's planning on letting the Bush Tax Cuts expire. Sucks for all of us; it's going to be the highest tax increase in the history of our country.

      So who is really making history? Bush with his approval rating that really means nothing anymore, or Barack and his monumental tax increases?

      -let's hope he rethinks his planned decision-

    • kennymotown, this "tax cuts for the rich" mantra is so tired and so incorrect. I got a tax cut under Bushs tax policy. My income has never even come close to what you would consider rich.
      I used to do tax returns in public accounting. The "rich" pay a LOT of tax. Everyone who works and has a tax liability got a tax break under Bush. you cannot cut taxes on people who don't pay taxes. You can only give them handouts or what you may consider welfare.
      Under der Fuhrer we will experience socialism, unless he wants to wake up to the reality that socialism will bankrupt the nation. Bush inhereted Clintons recession and millions of jobs were created under his term. Look at the rise in the Dow since 2001. Contrast this with the almost 500 point loss the day after the election, the biggest post election loss in history I believe. People are selling off assets to excape der Fuhrers proposed increase in cap gains and tax rates. I am doing the same. The current housing mess is not his fault, it is due to Carter, Clinton and the leading Dems in congress.
      A little truth would be a good thing for a change.

      Clinton's recession?

      Oh lord, you're one of them. What's it like living in a noise-machine constructed reality?

      Bush's presidency created jobs? Wow, misinformation is painful.

      Der Fuhrer? God, how puerile.

      You should be ashamed.

    • Wow.

      From 92% on Oct. 9, 2001, to 20% now.

      Finding a Bush supporter these days is like finding a Vanilla Ice fan back in the day. V.I. sold like 10 million albums, yet no one would admit to having bought one, lol.

    • Bush is a lost man who has no personal ethics or strong non-bias views. I'm ashamed that he is still in office, please just impeach yourself!

    • Iraq happened 4 years after 9/11 so this notion that everyone was on board 'right after' 9/11 with the war on Iraq is not true and plain ignorant.

    • Are you telling me at the time you weren't moved to go get the people who were responsible for so much havoc in our country. WE have taken out many terrorists in Iraq and you wont even applaud or be happy it.

      What about "terrorists" in places like Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Indonesia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia (where most of the culprits of 9/11 were from, including bin Laden), Kenya, the Sudan or Mauritius? Get real, you seem to think people are stupid when it comes to Iraq. Far from it. Anyone who actually pays attention knows that Bush and Co. lied, using fabricated information to preemptively attack a sovereign nation for OIL, not IRAQI LIBERATION or WMDs. That's bullcrap and you know it.

    • IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 911! and NOT everyone in congress voted yes with the little evidence
      the administration brought forward. Also Bush was supposed to go back to the UN before an invasion witch he did not do. Over 100 congressman voted NO.
      Who in the hell do you get your information from Sean Hannity. The right wing sound machine has corrupted your brain. Think for yourself and do some investigation.

    • Do you remember that everybody was 100% for going to war in Iraq after 9/11 not just Bush, but all of Congress too. We wanted to kick the terrorists butts. The whole nation was united for one cause and that was to make the terrorists pay, the same ones that killed so many people an hurt so many families. Do you remember that? That is exactly why we were in Iraq then and still are now.

      In the Senate, the 21 Democrats, one Republican and one Independent voted in 2002 against the War in Iraq.
      6 House Republicans and one independent joined 126 Democratic members of the House of Representatives in voting NAY, on October 11, 2002, to the unprovoked use of force against Iraq.

      Swing and a miss.

    • temi227 everybody remembers 911, but it is you and your brain washed buddy's that can't understand the terrorist you refer too were not Iraq's. And further more
      Barrack is not going to welcome terrorist with open arms, get real the election is over your side lost. I bet
      Barrack will actually read his presidential briefing every day and when one such as the august 6th 2001 PDB that said Osama Ben Laden determined to attack inside the U.S. he will do something about it. Your president let this country down for political and monetary reasons.

    • MTB here is one good reason, he continues his tax cut for the rich and has put this country 10 trillion dollars in
      debt for his years of putting the cost of his war off budget, something that the republican congress allowed 6 years ago.

    • It doesn't seem like bush can win either way...i guess he would've gotten more respect had he let the terrorists walk all over us. obviously the majority of americans are shortminded and have forgotten all the lives that were lost on september 11 to the same terrorist i'm afraid obama may welcome with open arms.

      Oh my godddddddd.

      The notion that Obama would cooperate with dangerous terrorists is so ludicrous, if you persist to beleive its true I'll develop a stomach ulcer.

      In the future, please shield your mind from this rampant, unfair character spin.

      In one of my classes today I had to tell two people that Obama wasn't a Muslim. Why do United States Citizens deserve to be represented if they can be manipulated by such lazy, shallow, and innaccurate spin?

    • Give ONE good reason why you people hate Bush? Besides the economy, which is mainly the congress's fault and which party controls the congress.

      Because he used a flat out lie to start a war which caused at least 88.000 civilians (not counting american or iraqi troops) to fucking die. Multiply that by 10 and you get the number of lives ruined by that lie. That is a very good reason to detest a person.

      Oh and than there is his complete lack of understanding for global warming which will cause (and causes in this very moment) thousands of death throughout the world (but of course not mainly in Texas but in obscure "countries" like Africa, you know)

      And his botched up foreign policie towards russia

      And his total failure in Afghanistan, which sent this country through the mixer just one more time

      Could go on, but dont really like to.

      Oh these are all good reasons to hate him, but I personally dont. But I think he and his entourage are criminals and belong behind bars for the better part of their miserable lives.

    • I loved the bit on SNL were Bush was giving a nation wide indoresment of John McCain and they had to go find john who wasn't going to show up until Sarah Palin's husband found him and brought him too the oval office. Will Ferrell played Bush perfect.

      Yes temi, because I like in when the rest of the world hates us and we are abrasive towards the United Nations. Things were much worse in the 90's when everyone was on our side, our economy was booming, and our military wasn't spread thin. You hit it right on the head.

      And by that, I mean you missed it completely. Bush is a failure, and he never, EVER will get my respect. Nor should he.
