Things are still a wreck, I'm not saying everything is perfect now, but are you guys really living worse now than under the W. Bush years? And not all of it was Bush's fault, he could not control things like the hurricane, but he really did not handle it as well as he could have...
I suppose I'll drop the topic now, because my opinions regarding it are fairly subjective.
-E. Borodin
I dont think it's subjective at all. Katrina was a great example of Bush's lack of give-a-fuck for his own people. His lack of action during Katrina could almost be viewed as treasonous.
Bush will probably go down in history as the worst president we've ever had.

Just stop already, you are embarrassing yourself and making all loony left wingers look stupid. You say the recession ended in '09? I've got news for you, its still going no matter how much they cook the books and lie about unemployment. The rich are doing great but the middle class and poor are not doing well at all.
Then there was the time you said things were a million times better now than when shrub was pres. Even woof knows better than that. You are taking the not so coveted position of furthest left and looniest loony. You would probably vote for the bitch or obumble again.
woof >Bush will probably go down in history as the worst president we've ever had.
Nope, your man obumble has that locked up. And don't try to wrest the loony title away from coin, he is way ahead of you.

Every time you say things like the 'loony left' are so 'stupid', it reminds me that you have nothing valuable to contribute. Opening with ad-hominems is classic stonehenge! ;-)

Hardly. Bush was a much worse president. As I said, probably the worst we've ever had.

I never use ad hominems or strawmen. I just don't do it. You can claim some false equivalency if you like, but it doesn't exist. Every other post you make you call someone loony or stupid. Every time you call one of us the 'loony left', you're using an ad hominem, and every time you call me an Obama supporter you're using a strawman, because you know full well that I am not an Obama fan.
A person isn't 'loony' for espousing left-wing politics. In fact, a significant portion of the modern world, some of the better economies, utilize left wing ideologies.

You are more deluded than I imagined. I didn't even read the rest of your post after that woofism. You do it all the time that's why I rarely reply to you. You might be a nice guy but you've drunk the kool aid for sure.

Yeah, Obama's been a shit president in many ways. He continued way too many of Bush's policies. He's no lefty, that's for sure!

I think he established his point here more than anyone else has. I'd also throw in 'No Child Left Behind' to his list of completely disastrous policies. Come on, George Bush had the IQ of a monkey, and kindof looked like one.

pbw, the evidence has been given over and over but with your ideological blindness, you never see it. More people than ever are on food stamps, more people than ever are working part time or have given up looking for work, the labor participation rate is the lowest its been in decades. Wall st is still doing well, if that's all you look at but not so the middle class or the ever growing under class. Plus the ever growing population of illegals taking jobs away from americans and driving down wages, that is a direct result of obumble and his policies.
I notice that the far far left always equates right wing or gop with bad and left wing or dem with good. If a liberal dem president does bad things and screws up, they don't change their way of thinking they just say he must be a right winger. If a conservative does good things, they try to give credit to the dems.

Obama has not done 'liberal dem' things. What has he done that is so Liberal? Give me your list of things that he's done that are liberal. He has continued the Bush tax cuts/trickle down, continued Bush's patriot act, continued free trade, expanded the wars, the ACA is a totally conservative healthcare plan... What makes this man a liberal?
I don't understand why conservatives won't admit that after 30 fucking years of trickle down nonsense our country is falling apart. We need to raise taxes to pre-Reagan levels. Even the GOP back in the day had much higher taxes, because it makes sense!

You're only looking at part of the picture. Since Obama has taken office long-term employment, job growth, and real weekly earnings are all up. Unemployment is down. Under Obama's administration, we've added almost 5x the number of jobs that were added during than during the Bush administration. (source)

All fake numbers highly massaged. The true unemployment rate is much higher, they don't count people who have used up their unemployment benefits or who have quit looking for work, so called discouraged workers. And, most of those jobs you boast of are part time jobs. Instead of adding 1000 full time jobs with full benefits, they add 2000 part time jobs with lower wages and few benefits if any.
A true workers paradise indeed.
