[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama's failing has been naivete in thinking he could/should work with the Republicans. If he hadn't taken the compromise route, he would be sailing to victory. As it is, he will win because the GOP is putting forth the most pathetic pool of candidates in the history of history.

I support Obama enthusiastically. No I don't agree with everything he's done, but I trust him to do what is right for this country instead of what is right for the 5 rich guys who bought him the office.[/quote]

Please tell me what he has done? Unemployment, Food stamps, wellfare, and gas prices are at all time highs. He is turning his back on Israel and ally of ours and not dealing with a soon to be Nuclear armed iran... How on earth could u support such an unqualified presidential failure[/quote]

+1 my life was much better under bush, you can argue he got us in this mes but the same policies would've got us out of this mess. Note how quickly and effectively bush got us out if 911 and .com crash, no one seems to remember.[/quote]

First, Bush actually did not finish the 911 business.  President Obama did.  Remember, our friend OBL survived the Bush 2 Administration, despite 911 being his deal.  BTW.  No Americans were killed during the Obama authorized mission to take out OBL.  As for Iraq, Bush created that mess, and did not get out of that mess.  BTW.  Afghanistan and Iraq were among the longest wars in US history.  Pretty impressive record on the part of Bush II.  WWI and WWII were shorter for us.

Second, Presidents take office in late January.   One can always debate when a President should be responsible for what happens in the first few months of his Administration.  But, using February 1, 2001 as the starting point for the 8 years of the Bush Administration, Bush II resulted in a net increase in jobs of only 1.1 Million.  That means over the 8 years of Bush 2, there was a net increase of 1.1 Million jobs.  That number includes both private and public sector jobs.  If one focuses on the private sector only (ie, the proper Republican view presumably), the 8 years of Bush II resulted in a NET LOSS of 500,000 private sector jobs.  Now, one might say that Bush II realistically can't be responsible as of February 1, 2001, which was only a few days after he took office.  Okay.  But, if one uses some later month like March, May, June or July 2001, Bush II's job numbers look even worse.  The first part of 2009 produced huge monthly job losses.  The fact is that 1.1 Million net increase in jobs is the most favorable measue of Bush II.  BTW.   [/quote]
