Nothing in politics occurs instantaneously... Bush inherited all
Bubba's miscreant mischief. Bubba started off okay because of what he
inherited (guess from which two Repulicans.. Reagasn and Bush sr) but
he sure left a mess... yoose wanna see what all Bubba left in the
white house, look at the dripples under his desk. Bubba had plenty
opportunities to undo Bin Laden, but he was too busy doing Lewinski
etal. Bubba is the same kinda loser as JFK... yes, JFK was a coward,
that's why there's still a communist empire not 90 miles off shore...
if JFK wasn't such a wuss Castro would have been long gone (I know, I
was there). Bush did damned good considering the hand Bubba dealt
him. And the economy is just fine... it's a known economic fact that
if all the wealth in the world were equally distributed it would go
right back to the same few within a few years. Anyone who's poor it's
because of two reasons and two reasons only, Lazy & Stupid. Obama is
wealthy, not because he's just like everyone else, but because he's
smart and energetic, unfortunately he's also a hypocrite.


If the commies are so bad how come we owe China 1.2 trillion bucks, they
make everything we buy and Bush has to go to their Olympic games under order
of their leaders? Bush inherited a good economy, remember how he projected
5 trillion in budget surpluses by now. How about Clinton's balanced budget
which if maintained would have paid off the federal deficit in 12 years?
Instead we got 4 TRILLION in new debt. How about his tax breaks for the
rich that were supposed to give us 1.5 million jobs but instead we lost 3
million? Like it or not, things were way better when Bush took over. By
factors. Clinton inherited a huge mess after Bush 1 and turned that around.
Don't forget it was Clinton who got Congress to pass the balanced budget act
in 1993 - which Bush rescinded almost on day 1 of his term. By any measure
things have gotten much worse but you'd blame the cleaning lady in the White
House before you pegged it on the man to whom the very economy is entrusted.
