    • No but I wish I could like evicting him form the USA and sending him to the front lines in Afghanistan and refuse to let him back into the USA. You could include his father and brother. I would love to miss the whole family and include Dick Cheney too as a matter of fact The whole family. Before it gets too late in the game I would like to see a change since Obama promised change lets send him over there and change commander in chief with someone with guts, ethics and loves our constitution.

    • He's definitely a retard. We have suffered through lot of presidential misfits over the years which proves that any jackass may be selected by the CFR to be president and as a big joke on the Constitution and the election process. Wed have suffered through a sex deviate, a retard and now a black, but go further back in time and we have lived under big mouth Teddy Roosevelt and silent cal Cooledge but none have such a farce of the USA as the last five. George Sr who is a leftover from his Nazi loving father. Ronald Reagan a class B or C Hollywood drugstore cowboy. Yeah the CFR can rfeally pick some comedians.

      Yeah, and you could do a better job. Who are you to judge anyone, are you a politician or just a bystander hiding in the backround? Yeah, that's what I thought! NOBODY SPECIAL - keep your job to yourself cause nobody's gonna take if from you!

    • The direction we are headed in NOW is fascism. Despite what some say, what Bush may or may not have done to this country is nothing compared to what Obama is doing at this moment. A third Bush term would not have been as destructive as an Obama single term. Also, Bush may not have been the speaker Obama is but at least Bush could speak off the cuff. Obama can't string two words together without a teleprompter. Bush also knew that this country did not have 57 states.

      the direction was always fascism. before obama was in office, america had the highest rate of people in prison per capita in the world. the stats remain the same and will increase. there is no doubt the numbers would increase quicker under republican leadership. obama has continued fascist programs such as the dept of homeland security, and patriot act which were bush ideas. if mcain came in, youd probably all have computer chips implanted inside your skin by now, in addition to a dozen more countries being invaded. mexicans would probably be in concentration camps. the military budget has increased under obama, and would have increased more under republicans. i am not defending obama, but he is the lesser of 2 evils, and there isnt a huge difference between him, bush, or any other mainstream american politician.
      america doesnt have 57 states but 55 . here is number 51) canada 52) britain 53) australia 54) israel 55) japan.
      if america had its way, it would have 57 because iraq and iran would become number 56, and 57. america is also planning an invasion of venezuela. oil? maybe?

      You stay the President of the George Bush fan club, and we will stay American's under our President that we elected President Obama. The people who don't like him can leave the country any day now. Cause he's our President and do a darn better job than Bush could have done if he was president of the Girl scouts. He probably would have started a war between the girl & boy scout's of America also. He a war monger at best and anyone who support's him for that is a sick minded misfit of injustice. He should have been tried for his war crimes just like Saddam Hussein. What makes them so different, nothing in my books. He bombed and killed innocent people just the same way, same thing, same crime.

      im sure muslim sympathisers regularly support israel and appoint zionists as their chief of staff. but if youre looking for terorists, you should go to iraq and look at u.s. troops planting 200 kg bombs on entire villages. if your idea of liberal is obama, then that just goes to show how far to the right you are, along with most americans. you make hitler look liberal. im sure there are PLENTY of socialists running around in a country where the rich pay a maximum of 35% income tax, and a country that goes around the world supporting far right dictators.

    • During the lastweek of the usurpers appointed Presidency, people here on Current.com were saying of Bush league: "Forgotten , but not gone" as if to parody the Neil Young song lyrics "gone but not forgotten,this is the story of Johny Rotten" How could any decent people miss a monster who admires
      Adolph Hitler ? A tyrant who started the 2nd Iraq oil war to end a family fued, and double the price of Saudi Arabian oil, which he was working for ? A war criminal
      who with his war profiteer VP engineered the deaths of millions of Iraquis so that they could become Billionaires after the building of the Afghnistan/Iraq oil pipeline ? A pirate only interested in feathering his own nest at the expense of
      the USA because he somehow "forgot" to do anything to foster the creation of
      ANY jobs in 8 years ? I miss JFK, because he realy was special, and a hero. No
      one misses a villian like Bush. Yeah, his evil lives on long after he's gone, but Bush himself is about as memorable as trash day.

      What are you ? New or something. JFK was a WW2 hero. He carried men in the water, who were too burned to swim, to safety after a Japanese Destroyer cut his PT 109 in half causing it to burn and sink. Cliff Robertson portrayed Capt. Kennedy in the movie PT 109 during the 1960s after our President was assasinated as a memorial to a truely great man. His family was made of money. He could have stayed State side in some cushy desk job with all the connections his Ambassador father had. Yet he chose to enlist in the Navy, and put himself in harms way. I call that bravery. But maybe you don't know the difference between bravery and bullshit.

      Thank you for your contribution here, Argon 18. It's very thoughtful of you to add JFK's
      picture. And very appreciated. JFK was a true American hero. I miss him every day of my life every bit as much as I miss my own father . I shook his brother Bobby's hand when the A.G. pased by my high school in a motorcade. To me, JFK is, and always will be the best representation of all that is good in the USA. He inspired so many people of the boomer generation to be positive like him that his spirit is always with us, because we live his dream every day of our lives. " Ask not what your country can do for you, rather instead ask what you can do for your country " Many in his place started wars.
      But it took a man as special as he was to start a Peace Corps.

      I'm gld you liked it. The point is that could be said of a lot of past presidents.

      What if was a pic of Lincoln, would it get the same reaction as JFK?

      How about Nixon, would it get the same reaction as GWB?

      We'd all of us decent folk miss Lincoln as much as we miss JFK. Both Presidents were
      conscionable men. Not many conscionable people would miss Nixon. Prohibition was reinstituted in his tenure of office. And he served as such a bad example that Nelson Rockefeller, the Billionaire Governor of our State, New York went overboard even further and had draconian anti drug statutes enacted to exaccerbate the njustices in 1973. It took State Senators Gottfried & Barclay 4 years to roll back the Nixon /Rockefeller stone and decriminalize it. Everyone misses heros. Noone misses villians

    • Huh, it's like a blast from the past. They tried the -exact- same strategy with Barry Goldwater.

      What's more interesting is that the nutjobs actually endorsed Bush. What are they appealing to that last 25% that still supported him demographic?

      I wonder if this is representative of conservative opinion or if it's just localized insanity?

      On the issue, how could anyone possibly miss Bush? Considering that Bush also passed a stimulus and a bailout, it's hard to fathom what his supposed appeal for conservatives compared to Obama.

      I don't agree with any of your ridicolous comment's now or ever! Why don't you try responding like a real human being. Stop trying to use shock therapy to get some laughs. It's dumb to make stupid remarks about a President that's trying to fix decade's of dumb stuff done by all the rest of the past one's put together. I suppose you think you could do a better job. Yeah that's what I thought, your probably can't even run your own check book. Contain yourself from half the dumb remarks for your sake please

      Thanks, Melvin, for reminding us of the character and caliber of the extreme right-wing. Your idiocy pretty much sums up the mentality of Bush supporters and tea baggers. So sad! You are a glaring example of what happens to a democracy when it's citizens are undereducated.

    • I always think it's hilarious how the Republicans use the current economic situation against Obama as if they weren't the ones who created it. It's denial in the dumbest form possible. On the other hand, when is Obama going to figure out that the Republicans don't want to see him get anything done in Washington? When will he realize that he's going to have to go it alone more often than not? When are the Democrats going to grow backbones and help Obama? The Republicans may have messed up this country but at least they accomplished SOMETHING in destroying it.

    • Everyone get your cursor next to the down arrow, because this comment isn't going to be a popular one here.. Obviously not many people on this board (which happens to be a part of Global Warming/Climate Change/Global Cooling/whatever-he's-going-to-call-it-next Internet-creating Al Gore's website) voted for Bush, but I'm suprised how many people think the jobs situation is Bush's fault.

      To be fair, it certainly isn't Obama's fault either. Obama's stimulus and spending practice may have kept us out of a much bigger recession/depression, causing an even greater loss of jobs. Even as a conservative, I can admit that.

      I can also admit that Bush was a piss poor speaker, and not a charisma-spewing volcano like Obama is. Unfortunately, charisma doesn't stop Nigerians with a warped mind and a crotch full of PETN from attacking our country (which, incidentally, Bush's TSA/Homeland Security departments kept us safe from for 7 years, but Obama's couldn't avoid for even one).

      Is the the CEO of Coke at "fault" if you get a flat bottle from the store? Of course not, but he is RESPONSIBLE, no matter whose "fault" it is. And so is Obama for the shitty economy, no matter whose "fault" anyone believes it is.

      Let's start demanding personal responsibility, and quit blaming politicians for our issues. If you are waiting for a politician to actually enact Change You Can Believe In, you're going to be waiting a long damn time.

      Um, Bush's Homeland Security Department is now Obama's Homeland Security Department. I'm not aware an any substantive change in the organizational structure of that department that would justify your comments. So by default, it was the homeland security structure developed by the Bushies that failed to prevent a crazy Nigerian from boarding a jet. But then again, even that isn't true, inasmuch as it is near impossible to prevent a determined individual from pulling a stunt like this. I think the Israelis could attest to the validity of my comment. Also your comment reveals typical conservative tunnel vision inasmuch as you fail to acknowledge that the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil happened on Bush's watch after he was warned by the US intelligence agencies as well as four foreign intelligence agencies that something big was about to pop.

      Second, you attributed the 7 year hiatus in terrorist attacks to Homeland Security. There is no evidence whatsoever that Homeland Security stopped any REAL threat to the United States.

      Third, it was in fact the Bush Administrations failure to ENFORCE existing regulations and to modify those regulations to keep up with technological advancements that was the root of the housing collapse, which was in essence, a collapse of the insurance derivatives market. If just the home prices collapsed the government could have bought every bad loan with relatively little trouble.

      However, the unregulated geniuses on Wall Street bundled those mortgages into securities and sold them as Collateral Debt Obligations (CDO's) that were "insured" with insurance derivative swaps. Then to add insult to injury these same unregulated geniuses began betting (Vegas style) against these securities. To put this in layman terms, I sell you a car. Two investors not involved financially with the deal begin to BET on whether or not you can make the payments. They hedge their bets by purchasing relatively cheap insurance (AIG) to cover them if they bet incorrectly. That's called adding unnecessary risk to the original deal. It's a sweetheart deal for the investors because it's just a handshake bet and no real money is exchanged. If they bet correctly, no big deal, no money is lost. HOWEVER if they lose their bet, they get paid REAL money by AIG. This is obviously an oversimplification but it is exactly what happened.

      This self-serving, greedy form of insanity would have never been allowed to happen in an adequately regulated market. But the Bushies didn't care because everyone APPEARED to be making money. However, this whole scheme was based on the nonsensical notion that housing prices would never go down. Enter the FED who kept interest rates low in an hot economy which encouraged developers to build a surplus of homes. This surplus in combination with defaults on sub prime mortgages created a glut of homes which naturally led to a DECREASE in housing prices which created a deep recession which caused millions of jobs to be lost. So you see, the "job situation" was/is Bush's tar baby.

      But you are correct in saying that this terrible situation is now Obama's responsibility i.e. he's the President. However, many conservatives try to gloss over the fact that Bush's economic policy (or lack of it) that caused the problem to begin with and try to smudge that line of "reasoning" by blaming Obama for the poor economy.

      Simply put, the Bush Administration set the house on fire and handed Obama a firehose without any water to put it out, then left town. Then the Hannitys, Becks and Limbaugh's in the nation show up and start accusing Obama of setting the fire and being too incompetent to put it out. So, my friend, you do indeed get the "down arrow". Peace.

      Very thoughtful opinion. The assertion that Bushes policies stopped everything, including attempts is naive though. There was the shoe bomber. The anthrax, the fear among every living citizen. The current administration has gotten rid of a lot of the policies the world has hated us for. Like torture, and is closing down Git-mo. He is using the respect and integrity of the american judicial system to prove to the world, that if you do mess with us, our system is strong, and you will never defeat us. Torture just enraged the world even more. Now as well, Obama did say that everything is his responsibility, and did say he cant create change alone, as well he admits his mistakes. Three things Bush was always to stub urn to say.

      hey advance, i think you make a pretty great point. Maybe it goes a little far to say that they are entirely responsible, but the presidnet is one of the countless steps along the way. From the system of capitalism, to businesses to consumers to congress and the president there is serious responsibility and it often becomes the president who, unfairly, has to hear the hell about it just like he would be praised if it went well through the exact same policy. Its flawed, and its a mess, but we still get our kickass consumer goods, still have no war on our soil and are still able to scream from the heavens any bs that we please, allow me to cite a few responses on this page... All in all the president does just as little as every other step in the process which is why it is somewhat crazy to say that the office could "fail" at all
