>I only hope that most of what Obama accomplishes during his term can be undone by the next administration.
Why do you think Obama is in London — he’s trying to undo the massive damage the Bush administration did to the U.S. Why do you think Obama has an 80% rating of Americans who think he can undo the damage?
Notably, Bush did not undo any damage from the Clinton Administration. No,Bush was to busy spending our surplus and driving the U.S. economy into the ground by starting unnecessary wars. He was a failure in business and in government.
Cry your eyes out…the GOP earned their spot in He-double hockey sticks…
Sarah, You forget that congress pretty much has to approve any spending and the 1994 congress led by Newt Gingrich created the surplus that your democrats call their own. Lets see how much of a surplus is created by your democrats in congress and Obama’s new budget. As Sam stated in his prior blog, I think we should get rid of all of them and start something new. The “Change and hope” we were promised is not the bankrupcy we are getting.
Yes, the Sarahs of this country are the ones who put Obama in office and seem to think that socialism and the worlds good opinion of us is more important than freedom and individual responsibility. On September 12, 2001, I wonder what Sarah thought the American response should have been to the attack on our soil. I think George Bush did an outstanding job as our leader during that crisis and during the war against terrorism afterward. I do agree that he spent like a drunken sailer in such a manner that if there hadn’t been an R after his name, many people would have mistaken him for a liberal. The bottom line is that President Bush was a moderate Republican at best. The Republican party in general has moved so far to the center that there was very little difference in John McCain’s platform and that of Barak Obama. If John McCain had won the election I doubt that I’d be any happier with what is going on at this time.
Sarah, not sure what polls your looking at. Obama is no where near 80%. I think I remember right after he won the election that polls were showing around an 80% approval rating. I just googled Polls Obama and found that he is at best at 61% and some polls have him as low as 50%. I suspect he is probably nearer 60%. There was a period right after 9/11 when George Bush was around the 80% approval rating. As Obama puts more and more of his socialistic policies in place, his approval rating will continue to fall.

Sarah sez that she does not want to see America go socialism. Socialism started under Bush, by the way.
Also note, Sarah is an Independent who supported Hillary. Would have considered McCain in ’00 — but not ’08. The Palin pick was a bit too much. Conservative religion swept Bush in and not for the better either.
Bush was asleep at the wheel when warned on August 6, 2001 that Bin Laden intended to strike inside the U.S. Note: Bush was on his first month long vacation in Crawford, TX at the time. And during Katrina too.
Bush’s response was spot on for for Afghanistan. However, he blundered badly attacking Iraq which also took the focus off Bin Laden (Bin Laden who?).
It was due to Bush’s gross incompetence and mismanagement that we are were are today. And it’s also the reason why Obama was able to overcome the old white boy network of presidents.
McCain, Hillary, Obama — they all would have had major obstacles in turning this ship around.
THE SHIP IS SINKING,ITS NOT TURNING AROUND, YOU CANT SPEND YOUR WAY TO PROSPERITY OR BORROW YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT.
ENOUGH ABOUT BUSH! YOU GUYS JUST CANT STAND NOT HAVING BUSH TO BLAME ANYMORE. UNDER BUSH WE HAD ONE OF THE LARGEST ECONOMIC EXPANSIONS IN HISTORY. UNDER OBAMA WE HAVE THE LARGEST EXPANSION OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING IN HISTORY. FACT!
I’m not defending President Bush other than to say that I think he did a great job as our leader during 9/11 and after. You may or may not agree with who we did or didn’t attack during this waar on terror. Your right in that President Bush spent as much or more than Clinton did before him. You need to get beyond George Bush in your thinking. He is no longer the President. What you need to be concerned about is how much the Obama administration is putting your great great grandchildren on debt for. We can’t spend our way out of being in debt. Under the guise of a “bailout” this administration is ushering in so much pork barrel spending it is crazy. You may not want Socialism….but that is what your getting. You voted for it.
Regarding spending, yes, it is out of control — but no Republicans said a word when Bush was squandering money left and right. It was scary going back to 2003. One cannot be silent for 5 years and then be outraged.
I do not believe we will ever be a socialist country. Bush started the socialist ball rolling in 2008, but I understood the reasons why. I will accept the same rationale in 2009 to salvage what we can. But the bucks stops there.
I do not want and will not support changing to a socialist country.
I despise the pork spending and will vote in 2010 and 2012 against those, including dems, who porked it.

You have 4, count me in, but I don’t think you get Sarah’s vote. LOL

I voted for Obama, I now wish I could have voted for Bush!
Today I just found out that the tax credit he just gave equals about $6. a week difference.
Today there is a $1.00 cigarette tax increase that just went into effect.
Obama’s Middle class tax credit he promised is out of the new budget. But the tax increases on those over 250K is in.
EXOBAMA FAN – I am a democrat against Obama now!!!
