Goodbye Mr. President, Welcome Mr. President

Jan 20, 2009 11:02

I really feel sorry for all y'all crowing about 'thkgod bush is gone!' His time was up and he left with dignity. There have been many many worse presidents *coughClintoncough* and many better ones. I truly hope Mr. Obama is a better one. And I'm grateful and heartened by the fact that this country has done this 44 times over 233 years without a ( Read more... )

It's not just Bush they're happy to see go, it's his whole damn staff. While I cringe at the though of Clinton as Secretary of State, we can always hope Barack's plan is to dismiss her so she has to GO AWAY. I lead a rich fantasy life ( ... )

I didn't say he was awesome, or even particularly good. Hell, Patriot Act and Homeland Security are both terrible idea. Well, HLS like it is now anyway.

I'm just saying, kinda tired of the whole, Bush is the worstest president ever eleventy1!

Taft, LBJ, Hoover, yea we've had much worse. Global media just makes it much easier to opinion poll someone to death these days. And if we didn't have a generally corrupt government these days we likely wouldn't have had nearly the fiasco's with Bush as we did. But at least he wasn't ruled by the opinion polls like his predecessor was.

Of course, I'm of the opinion we haven't had a good president since Reagan and haven't had good congressional governance since, oh, the 40's.

Anyway, Bush is gone so it's over and done.

I'm just saying, there is plenty of reason to want to see him GONE GONE GONE.

IAWTC. President Cheney was WAY worse ;)

Biden scares me more than Cheney, but not much.

IT COULD BE PALIN.

See, for me, this isn't, "YAY BUSH IS GONE" Day or "YAY OBAMA'S IN" Day, this is "THANK THE STARS THAT WOMAN IS NOT IN MY WHITE HOUSE" Day.

Highly recommended

On several news stations today, they reported the same statistic:

Bush's approval at last poll was only %20.

Joked one of the reporters: "...only 20% of the American public are happy with the way Bush led the country. I have to wonder if that 20% weren't living under a rock."

I have to agree.

Politics aside, and FTR I think Clinton is a slimy piece of crap, I'm really, really curious as to how you think Clinton was worse than Bush 43. IMO the Bush 43 administration (a necessary term, given how much of a puppet Bush was) will go down as one of the worst, if not the very worst, in US history. He makes the Carter presidency look good by comparison.

I'll always, publically, profess my love for George Bush, just as
I say I'd have voted for Nixon and have a shrine to him.

*gets a portrait of Bush and puts it next to his bust of Nixon and
adds some more inscence.*

I love to piss off the libs that way.

"Isn't Obama just God?"

"Obama is a south side shill, he'll crack the first year and the media will run around with hair on fire to cover for him"

"YOUR A RACIST!"
