ISIS Crisis -- Any word from Dubya? (Original Post) napkinz Aug 2014 OP
One good thing about Bush yeoman6987 Aug 2014 #1
yeah, but i don't think it has anything to do with just being respectful of the office JI7 Aug 2014 #2
I think he knows it is a hard job and doesn't feel it does any good to complain about someone else yeoman6987 Aug 2014 #3
i think he fucked things up so much that any complaint would result JI7 Aug 2014 #4
Maybe. I don't know. I wonder why DUers want him to say anything? yeoman6987 Aug 2014 #6
it's more about showing what a mess he made JI7 Aug 2014 #7
Most people know that already. I can't imagine any one of us not knowing this. yeoman6987 Aug 2014 #8

why are you so interested in him? He is done. He is staying away. Let him for goodness sake. Did you vote for him or something? Do you miss him? I don't get your attraction to hearing from him. Maybe I am misunderstanding of your desire to hear from him.

That would be helpful for all the Murkins with amnesia.

Instead we get Repubs whining that Obama is "blaming Bush" and that Obama is 100% responsible for whateverthehell is going on in the Middle East. Yeah, right.

I personally put the blame squarely on Bush-Cheney and the PNAC fantasists. Obama was handed a bucket of shit, and for some reason hasn't been able to make it grow flowers.

that we elected Obama to come in and start the Clean up with absolutely no help from Congress after 2011. The teabaggers need to keep the desolation running into the abyss.

Iraq war is the biggest mess left behind by Bush43.
It was totally unnecessary war. Cost us Trillions,
and thousands of soldiers killed. What a fricking mess!

Iraq is unfix-able short of finding another Saddam type to rule with an iron fist. IOW just GTFO.

hasn't recovered from his 8 years of screwing the American people in favor of those very wealthy taxpayers who don't want to pay their fair share.

5 reasons why Ronald Reagan was worse than George W. Bush

1)The Debt

2. Taxes and the size of Government -

3. Raiding the Social Security Trust Fund -

4. Training Osama Bin Laden and other future al Qaeda leaders -

5. Middle Class War -

Details..
http://www.examiner.com/article/5-reasons-why-ronald-reagan-was-worse-than-george-w-bush

Has Reagan been out of office too long to hold him accountable for what he put into motion? No.

I don't think Reagan was worse than bush though.. they both share top billing equally, imv.
