It was understandable to want to change SOME of the policies of George W. Bush as he was inexperienced when he took office but to follow him with somebody who has even less experience was a bad idea. John McCain had experience, he was more of a moderate conservative, he was a big enough SOB to where he would veto any bill with pork barrell spending.


But there's little we can do now but "Hope for change" and in 4 years we just might get it. I can bet you the GOP will be taking over Congress pretty soon.
Obama hasn't doubled the national debt, that was Bush. Then Bush guaranteed so much bank debt in his last few months in office that he effectively doubled it again. It went from 5 trillion to 20 trillion in debt and debt guarantees under Bush.

He's going to cut taxes for 99% of Americans, only raise them on 1%. Like he told you before he got elected.

He hasn't promised to weaken any military.

He's closing Gitmo which was a total disaster and only did damage.

He's ending a war in Iraq after his fuckwitted predecessor managed to spend three trillion, four thousand American lives, one million Iraqi lives in an invasion which handed control of the world's second-largest oil reserve (Iraq) over to the Iranians who signed a deal with Bush before Obama took over where Bush agreed to get out by 2011.

And Gates offered talks to the Taliban while Bush was still president.

There isn't anyridiculous shit pushed by the rightwing crackheads you listen to that you won't swallow whole. As a result you're consistently clueless and wrong about everything.
