Compare the Bush and Obama legacy...in pictures

[Danno 1,228]

Sure Bush was doing his part to run this country aground on the reefs of debt, this was the major point that made conservatives bail out on Bush.

Libs can't understand why the whole country does not support Obamas plans and goals.

It's not about color... well maybe it is... the Color Red

*Take note of how the "appearance of declining debt" Ends right after re-election time 2012.

-- President Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008. President Obama would add another $1 trillion.

-- President Bush began a string of expensive finan­cial bailouts. President Obama is accelerating that course.

-- President Bush created a Medicare drug entitle­ment that will cost an estimated $800 billion in its first decade. President Obama has proposed a $634 billion down payment on a new govern­ment health care fund.

-- President Bush increased federal education spending 58 percent faster than inflation. Presi­dent Obama would double it.

-- President Bush became the first President to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal antipoverty programs. President Obama has already in­creased this spending by 20 percent.

-- President Bush tilted the income tax burden more toward upper-income taxpayers. President Obama would continue that trend.

-- President Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.

I honestly have no confidence that Obama will do the right thing for our Country. I hope Im proved wrong within the next 4 yrs but I doubt it .

You're calling Obama's first 100 plus days as a legacy??? I take it you're not much of a sports fan.

I think if you look carefully, you will see the projections go out well past 100 days

He's only been in office for 6 months...

and besides the world is supposed to end in 2012 anyway. Subsequent years are irrelevant.

Danno & the VJ Right Wingers were practically calling for Obama's impeachment before he even got into office, so to label his first 100 days as a "legacy" is par for the course.

I say we stamp this thread as another, "Mad As Hell" AWM thread and move on. Next.

and how has his plans going for the stimulus that he thinks will help Americans out? Hes not getting us out of debt or even giving us anything special. Maybe giving us $20 extra a paycheck if that, which goes right back into gas prices and food costs going up. Hes a good deceiver IMO. He doesnt do anything extraordinary for our Country. He isnt turning our country around for the better of all people IMO. I do hope that in 4 full years Im proved wrong. I truly do. But as of yet, Im not impressed or amused by him.

I wasn't under the impression that he was supposed to give us anything, nor get anyone out of debt. And for the better of ALL people? Please. What's best for someone unemployed is hardly best for a millionaire. Ain't never gonna happen.
