Dub's blame was suffocating when it came to everything about Iraq. Rather than just say "I made the call", he blamed everyone and everything. He constantly threw the CIA, Blair, Powell, Valery Plame, and on, and on, under the bus for the WMD gaffe.

W is a clown and Obama is a clown.

Any fool who thinks government fixes any thing....

Well..... at least you can say you shoveled $h!t in Louisiana during the great WW II.

I never said GWB was a beacon of political accountability. The reference was between GWB-Clinton in respects to what GWB was faced with from terrorism and GWB-Obama with what Obama is faced with in a much murkier financial outlook.

I don't think Obama faces any different challenges than Bush faced in terms of terrorism while transitioning administrations. Actually, Obama's terrorism challenge could be larger than Bush's was.

yeah, Obama has already met that challenge head on.

it's no longer terrorism, it's "man caused disasters"

it's no longer a war on terrorism, it's "overseas contingency operations"

it's no longer the Iranian regime, state sponsor of terror, it's "the Islamic Republic of Iran"

Rather than using inadvertant name calling tactics, feel free to support an argument that terrorism is any less an issue today than it was 8 years ago.

it's really going to be an issue when the Obama justice department releases the Gitmo detainees onto the streets of US cities.

I will give you that everyday that passes since Obama has been in office, terrorism is more of an issue. I definitely am more concerned about terrorism, i mean man made disasters, than I was last year.

Bush doubled the national debt in 8 years. How is Obama worse? The deficit he inherited was 1 trillion.

Obama tripled it in 60 days while at the same time proposing legislation that would further cripple the US economy.

The only difference today is that we have much better intel that wasn't decimated today as it was before Bush's first term. It also doesn't hurt that we have forward operating bases in the middle east where 75% of those who would want to do us harm are currently engaged with our armed forces.

And Obama's proposed spending will boat race that figure, in one term compared to Bush's two terms. You seem like a intelligent and reasonable enough person to me. Why you still continue to carry water for Obama and refer back to Bush is beyond me, especially when most here would tell you Bush was terrible.

It sounds to me as if you are trying to set the argument that Obama was at least better than Bush even if Obama is a failure. Even if Obama does not turn out quite as bad as Bush (unlikely if he continues down the path he has started IMO) that isn't saying much. Kind of like saying Florida sucks only slightly less than Alabama!

You are naive if you think a Bush policy is preventing a suicide bomber from walking up to you and pushing the button.

I air travel frequently and I can tell you that at no point over the last 8 years have I felt "safe" with the TSA making sure there would be no terrorism.

My fears have not increased nor decreased with the change in administration.

You really think they are going to take a convicted terrorist and release them onto Main St. USA? Those 250 people will get their day in court. If they are cleared, ship 'em out.

And the fact that anyone in the Middle East that had a grudge against the United States would just go down the road to fight in Afghanistan instead of risking a flight to the US and plan an attack without financial backing is beyond you?


Also, are you so sure that there weren't stifled attacks Stateside?

Have you seen his own (optimistic) projections? He's going to dwarf what W did to the national debt. It's staggering.
