The fact is that your lamebrained candidate told us we were foolish for pursuing Bin Laden and the Republicants said we should not be going into Pakistan. Wrong and wrong. Obama did it, he succeeded and your party has to eat crow for that one.
How many troops do we have in Iraq?
I do not mean the Bush tax cuts. Those were Bush's self-described "temprorary stimulus". How did that work out? Oh wait, it didn't.
As for preventing economic disaster, we did much better than your Bush Advisors. In the end of 2008 they were peeing in their pants with fear of economic collapse. Do we have to run the sky-is-falling warnings of Hank Paulson yet again? And do we have to run McCain's tone-deaf denial that we were in a crisis at all? So the Republican had whiners and deniers. And now we have Republican history re-writers, thanks to you.
1) we still have 9,000 troops and mercenaries in Iraq. We are still there.
2) hey moron - when they say "Bush Tax Cuts" on MSNBC, they are talking about the low tax rates that have been in effect for like a decade - not the measely $400/$800 checks everybody got. Think more like saving 10% of your entire taxable income every year - that is a lot of freaking money, and yes, keeping that money in my pocket does help the economy - do you think broke Americans could have afforded to pay more taxes - like another 10% of their income? Are you insane?
3) Do you know why the economy collapsed? It was the housing market bubble and asset-backed securities linked to subprime mortgages. considering Democrats controlled Congress for YEARS before the economic collapse, including the housing/financial committee headed up by your boys Frank/Dodd - where were they? What did they do? ZERO! And wasn't it the Clinton administration that passed that law saying that people should not have to prove their income to get a mortgage (hence, the invention of no doc loans that caused the foreclosure crisis and housing crisis in the first place? - or, did Rachel Maddow tell you it was some Bushism that caused key economic events that precipitated the collapse? And what exactly were those events?).
4) Bush saved the car companies and banks with TARP. Obama did ZERO. Not one thing. Just like his vacay he didn't even bother to come home from during that small little unimportant thinggy, oh, what was that, oh yeah, the biggest ecological disaster in US history - the BP oil spill. What a schmuk! And he told everybody months later that he invented a cap to stop it with a team of scientists!!!! What a load of crap! Where was your BS meter then?
