Obama gets blamed for everything Bush messed up during his 8 years in office. I'm not even sure that GWB won either election.
Welcome to politics. Every politician blames it on who went before. The politicians I vote for do it. The politicians I vote against also do it. The truth of it is that they're not in power long enough to see the fruits of their labour. And when they inherit chaos, it's an easy shift of blame.
Obama is responsible for what he's done since being in office. It's insane to blame everything on the president from four years ago. Obama spends far more than bush ever did. Without a massive tax increase the country would be bankrupt in just a few decades with Obama's policies.
^I sometimes wonder if this is the purpose of a two-party system. It gives people an illusion of choice and a convenient scapegoat, while in reality not much changes. Is China's on-party system really so much worse?
In Britain its the opposite. Our previous two Prime Ministers are getting blamed for things which /could/ have been the current governments fault. It all depends on who the media sides with, and everything is suddenly the other ones fault.
It isn't the opposite... it's the exact same.. if certain, ahem, politicians would take credit for their own screw ups and quit being a hypocrite, then the people may listen and trust them more. I do agree with you 100%, it just depends on who the media likes better.
No fuck nObama. He's just as much of a mistake. Is he making anything better? Fuck no he's making the national debt worse, and continuing pointless wars of aggression. Obviously you have no clue on politics, sadly that's most of the people who are voting.
People like Bush and Obama make our country look like bullies. American society runs on war, and the world hates us for it. It's time for liberty and peace. No more nation building.
Vote for Ron Paul if you want real change.
OBAMA 2012:)
Bush sucks balls but he's funny. Hahaha my politics are fucked up.
Just ignore all this crap and don't give a damn. Then, you wont get pissed off about all the hypocritically and logically impaired people.
Yeah, I get pissed about that too. And I hate how so many people bitch about Obama when he's so fucking refreshing next to George W. Bush!! I honestly don't know how Bush even got elected twice! What. the. hell? I was pretty little too when he got elected, and I remember even saying back then that he wasn't good. And I was a damn child!
That's politics. I hate that Clinton took all the credit of the internet boom. Don't look at politics too closely you'll just get angrier.
It is ignorant assholes like you that don't realize Obama is running this country into the ground. All you liberals try to do is blame Bush/ republicans for problems that you create. I'm willing to bet that the only reason you voted for him is because he is black. That illegal immigrant should be deported back to Kenya.
I really dislike politics... Y can't ppl just have faith n their elected officials... Nobody can b perfect
I hate to be a rain on the party but I don't think this is the place for political opinions. Sorry.
I thought it was only me who felt this way. Its like this: You're damned if you do...you're damned if you don't...
Oh let me add a few more facts....
He did a pay freeze for federal employees for two years. The American applauds this. Whatever. Really? This is your neighbors, family, so on. It is not your congress, higher officials, so on. It is the working class of government!!
Two years is a major impact on the overall finances as it will affect them thru out their career all the way into retirement to reduced wages and such.
Secondly; he is going after military and benefits and putting national security at risk. How? Well simply because with minimal pay increase, reduced benefits, reduced defense spending it is having military personnel running for the door and heading civilian and not wanting to serve the American public under him.
I can attest to both above as truth as I am a mid-level Federal employee and also a member of our reserve forces that recently returned from a back to back tour in Iraq for 2 and half years.
I really don't care for politics but look at the facts between the two.
First thing Obama done; he came in and tossed money to banks and auto industry. The corporate executives gave them fat bonuses and such while working Americans lost there jobs still. True things going South when Bush was in office but Obama did not help anything either with his bailout giving money like that.
Another point, his massive spending has created massive debt. As a country our government has been on brink of shutdowns and deficit caps. Did this happen with Bush: NO! Last time it happened.... Clinton and oh my same party as Obama .. go figure.
Look at all the facts and everything; no one person to blame. But by far Obama is worse than Bush.
All politicians are horrible people. They start out with good intentions, then get lazy as soon as they have to chance to act on their promises.
Also, the only reason there is a two-party system in most countries, as opposed to lots of parties with a realistic opportunity of winning an election, is because these parties get media attention because they were recently in power. If they get media attention they will get more donations, and with these more TV airtime will be bought. Most people will only vote for what they see most of on TV, so these parties continue to win, regardless of policy.
It's bush's fault and the problems the previous president had before obama. Can't get mad at him. BLACK/WHITE POWER.
