Quote:Yep, the echoes of the stupidity of the worst president the US ever had (Dubya) are still reverberating, and will be for a long time yet.

He destabilized one of the most crucial regions on the planet while simultaneously nosediving the American economy.

 

It still blows my mind that he got two terms.

Polling would indicate the worst president ever is your messiah, actually. 

 

Bush didn't destabilize the Middle East.  It's a region that's been unstable for years and years or even centuries. 

 

Quote:Did he order secret torture or CIA spying on the entire nation?

 

Yes, I know about his idea to change the makeup of the supreme court and make all the old guys collectively have a single vote. It was a novel idea that got the judicial branch to finally get out of the way.

 

Also I know the internment camps for Japanese weren't great, but I'd say it was better than what the Japanese were doing to American POWs or the Germans were doing to the Jews they got their hands on.

 

FDR led the nation back from a prior administration that had crashed the economy in true republican style and brought the free world back from the brink of German/Japanese domination.

 

Ah, FDR.  The saint of the left.  His mythical powers of saving this nation are well documented, and almost completely false. 

 

The New Deal actually prolonged the great depression.  Even liberals at UCLA agree. 

Quote:Like I said, not great, but compared to what he did right and everything else going on in the world it was insignificant.

 

If Germans had a distinguished look compared to Americans I imagine they probably would have been interned, too. It was war, and it was an intense war for a nation that was only beginning to recover from what the republican administrations of Coolidge and Hoover had wrought.

 

As for Obama continuing the spying, I didn't say he gets a free pass, but GWB is still worse.

 

This is arguably one of the dumbest things anyone has ever posted in this forum.  Congratulations.  It wasn't insignificant.  It was US citizens being dragged off to prison camps.  Ask them how insignificant that was. 

 

Oh please.  You give your messiah a free pass on anything because the lib knee jerk reaction is to blame Bush, which you do quite adeptly.

 

Quote:Spoken like a true lefty. 

 

Anyone who's objective & lived through the Carter administration would disagree. 

 

 

I'm no GWB fan...but he wasn't the worst. 

 

Well, there's a segment of this country who think 0bama is the worst since WW2. 

 

As far as Obama's decision to bomb Iraq goes, it's a token move and nothing more.  Two jets, a few 500 lb bombs, and a photo op for the guy showing how tough he is.  Meanwhile, the slaughter of Christians and others in Iraq by ISIS continue.  It's not going to cripple ISIS, or stop the assault.  All it's going to do is appease those who have been demanding some sort of action as they've watched this cancer spread in Iraq thanks to the void left by 0bama completely yanking the plug in Iraq and turning tail.  Nobody wants boots on the ground, but this response could have been done much sooner, and with more force to really cripple ISIS.  It's only happening now because 0bama is polling at the lowest in his entire presidency.  Nothing this administration does is about anything other than politics.
