[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 870067, member: 17969"] Brett, I am amazed how people say BUSH kept us "SAFE" as a president. I am confused, considering he DID NOT keep us safe, and the worst terrorist attack on our country happened on HIS WATCH. He cost americans and visitors their lives to the tune of 3000 when terrorists attacked our country while he read "my pet goat". Republicans only want to remember that nothing happened after the worst terrorist attack on our country and they call that safe? Really? What did it do to our lives? Thousands of first responders are dying of health related illnesses from 911 and the Bush administration abandoning them by refusing them healthcare. Are they safe? You talk about "carters housing mess"? What the heck does that mean? What does Carter have to do with bush's "home ownership society" act that created the housing bubble and subsequent bust? The only one responsible for what happened in the latest housing bust was Bush's own policies and actions. I am shocked that you claim that tax cuts raised revenues for the federal goverment considering BUSH ran a deficit each and every year that he was in office. At the end of the day, BUSH ran up a deficit of 10.7 trillion dollars and yet you say that OBAMA's spending of 4.63 trillion is higher than BUSH? C'mon, you cant be serious.? Where are the jobs that were created? Bush started at 4% unemployment and ended at 7.8%. Where are the jobs? There has never been a "FISCAL CONSERVATIVE" in the White House since Eisenhower. He was the last republican to run a fiscal house. All the rest have been big spenders and deficit runners. What you stated are merely the talking points that are repeated on cable news shows or right wing radio. NOTHING YOU SAID is a FACT. Using your logic, OBAMA has kept us safer than BUSH cause we havent had a terrorist attack on US SOIL by a foreign country, as BUSH did on 911. President Bush was shedding 750 thousand jobs a month for the last 18 months of his term running the country into the ground and OBAMA is averaging approx. 410 thousand a month, how does that make OBAMA worst than BUSH? BUSH was running a negative GDP for the last 2 years of his term and OBAMA is running a POSITIVE GDP for his entire term, how does that make OBAMA worse than BUSH? BUSH was spending 4 billion a week in IRAQ, and OBAMA is down to less than 1 billion a month in IRAQ, how does that make OBAMA worse than BUSH? BUSH had oil over 5 bucks a gallon for months and oil reached 150 bucks a barrel or an increase of 400% killing the economy, and OBAMA had oil at 115 bucks a barrel (peak) and 4 bucks a gallon for a few months and averaging 90 bucks a barrel for three years, how does that make OBAMA worse than BUSH? US PRODUCTION of oil is at the highest levels in 10 years. I would like anyone to post the jobs created and this alledged increased tax revenue that helped the US goverment under BUSH. The problem is you dont like OBAMA for whatever reason, you will find reasons to hate him true or untrue, you run from president BUSH and his actions and leadership, none of you want to hold him accountable for the wall street collapse, the job market collapse, 911, hurricane Katrina, the cost of oil, two wars unpaid, 6000 lives lost in two ridiculous wars with zero results, trillions of dollars spent on NO BID contracts for contractors who overcharged the federal goverment and destroying the US ECONOMY. All I want to hear is one of you admit that BUSH destroyed the economy. OBAMA had to start somewhere and he started in a deep hole and he is trying to DIG OUT of that hole. He didnt get the benefit of starting with a 4% unemployment rate, a goverment surplus, no wars, no terrorists attacks on US soil, wall street on solid ground, no corporate collapses (enron, tyco, worldcom). Instead, he inherited a semi depression and in best case, a deep recession none of which was his creation. Its amazing how rhetoric and false facts dominates the conversations on this board when it comes to politics. I thank you for your contribution. Peace. [/QUOTE]
