Quote
“Despite voters feelings toward Obama personally, 56 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected, while 38 percent say he does deserve to be re-elected president.” Worse, Schoen adds, “43 percent say that Barack Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, while 48 percent say Bush was a better president than Obama has been.”

I'll wait to pass judgement when Obama's 4 years are comming to it's end.  It's too early to say.

Aside from the fact that GWB got us into two useless wars, I think they're pretty much the same president, just in a different package.

Well, that's a pretty big fact, but of course I agree.

It is a big fact, and that's the reason why I would rank Obama higher than Bush. But Obama also hasn't done anything to stop what we're doing over there, so he doesn't earn a whole lot of points from me.

Wait until Obama's Presidency ends (whenever that may be) before you judge. Only way to compare them, imho.

If you think Bush is the worst President, you are seriously mistaken. We've had Presidents who were far worse.

Yeah, I agree with the consensus that we haven't. Even people like Taft were arguably better.

The man was a piece of shit,  but it'll be at least another 20 years before it's reasonable to start talking about him in a historical context.

History will judge GWB well.. sorry to say, but he will look like a prince compared to Obama when history takes an objective look back at both. pundits who have any objectivity will see that GWB was a decent man who loved his country. I dont sense that Obama loves the USA in the same way..

actually GWB today is more popular in some polls then Obama..

It is too early, but it would appear Bush had a better first two years then Obama.
Then came 9/11 Who knows what his presidency would have been without his pride sending us into 2 unnecessary wars?

He only had 9 months, and he spent those on vacation, but that's not a bad thing at all.

You raise an interesting point, though.  I suspect that his presidency would have been viewed as successful without 911, although it's debatable as to whether or not he would have gotten a second term without the "war-time leader" nonsense.  His style would have been to stay in the background and not meddle in things he doesn't understand, which most view as a reasonable approach.  The simple truth is that he's an imbecile, but that doesn't matter too much if he doesn't interject himself into situations needlessly.  He would have made some silly decisions, but probably no more than any other president.

Tick, id love to dsicuss that flash point of "was Iraq unnessary" there was 17 UN resolutions and the war was not illegal.. I think many forget the carpet bombing Clinton did daily, for no fly zome violations to take our eyes off "Lewinsky" to me that was ILLEGAL.

Post 9/11 GWB had tough choices, and Saddam was part of oil for food and said he had WMDs and he had used them on the Kurds.. The UN is complicit

and Obama is an intellectual imbecille. His actions prove it. He is all brains and zero common sense. Slow down...think...  then react. :tick2: Gets better results.

I don't really understand your intellectual imbecile remark.  However, slow down, think, react is a fine approach.  Honestly, that's what Obama seems to do, and gets some flack for it.  Just because you disagree with the decision doesn't mean that the decision making process was flawed.

I agree 100% with Tick...and who was Obama? he is not qualified for much...But Soros bought that election

we were told he was the great "orator" and he cant even form a sentence without a teleprompter..

GWB would screw up a few words with no teleprompter talking from the heart, and the media would scream that GWB was an idiot..

Man do I hate the Liberal media..

I actually liked W's personality a lot. It's a shame he was a shitty leader. With some honest advisers, he might have been a lot better. Obama, overall, is smarter that W., but I but his advisers suck. And he's boring. For all that W. was, he was not boring.

Only an embicile would try to change America... and spend us into the abyss..

we cant even talk about Obama radicla connection here...which any due dilligence on this "Barack Hussein Obama" would easily derail any cnadidate..but oddly ..not Obama?  ,,,

can any imgaine if GWB had those sort of radical connections?

deduction on Obamas decision making point to "He is an imbecile"

I don't remember an exact amount of time, but I distinctly remember him being on vacation a LOT before 9/11 ended that crap.  

Of course, he inherited a great situation from Clinton, so no reason not to party as much as possible.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
