Can someone answer this political question intelligently?

Just curious as to why (considering the results of the mid term elections) it was okay to give Bush 8 years to make a total mess of this country, but they aren't even willing to give Obama one term to try and fix it. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that Obama does everything right, but doesn't it seem like the right thing to do to at least give the guy one full term to do his best? Let's not forget that he inherited one hell of a big mess. Are our memories really that short?

    Unfortunately, many Americans developed a spreading disease called mass stupidity even though the other party people promised to make things bad for everyone. Voted against emergency unemployment compensation extensions even though so many people were not working and broke. That's just one of many things that were ignored because of a massive successful propaganda campaign that worked and got them elected which proved if you had enough publicity about something it can be successful regardless. It also proved the voting public can be easily manipulated with enough money and publicity...

    It's because our national debt and our dollar value has fallen so much under the Obama administration. The ideas he wanted to implement were good but this was just a horrible time to do it. His health care plan has risen the debt billions and people don't get free health care; they still have to find a health care provider now and pay or be fined by the federal government. As for the stimulus he thought he could print more money and help the economy but doing that hurt it more, as another president tried that in the past. It's just because the economies doing so under his admin. that the GOP campaigned on that and won.

    properly, you have had a pair of fantastic clever solutions. here is yet another one that isn't very in many circumstances reported in maximum circles, even on the undergraduate tiers. Our forex, once you spend it, does not have the criminal authority to fulfill a debt. that is a legalese term meaning actually which you do no longer legally very own possession of that which your are buying. All you're 'procuring' is using that merchandise. i know its a splash better than maximum each physique is able to information, even although, this is the character of our modern-day financial equipment. forward of this time we did have a equipment wherein possession (no longer purely utilization) grew to become into transferred upon value. That grew to become into while costs have been discharged. See the form in words? happy does not equivalent discharged. And no, its no longer a conspiracy ingredient, spend it sluggish finding at criminal dictionaries and interpreting financial statutes. All those factors being made, as Federal Reserve Notes get handed from person to person (procuring this, then procuring that) greater products enter the financial flow. even although, they are no longer being discharged from one person to a diverse. This equation motives the 'debt' to enhance.

    Bush was a good President under the circumstances . The BS in your question sounds similar to a spoon fed lefty parasite. And yes, Obama is getting just one term because he seems to be the Master of Exacerbation . Thinks the Police acted stupidly. Panders to illegals . Has his people sue Arizona for making a effen move to fix the problem . Accepts the backing of Communists and those who would crash our society all together. Does not seem fiscally responsible . Wants to build a civilian army just as strong and well funded as the US military . I guess this army would be used to stifle the inevitable unrest soon coming .

    Because Bush did not make a big mess in 8 years.This recession has been coming on for decades and it will take decades to get out of it.Both parties caused this.Why people are so upset with Obama is instead of coming in and dealing with the crisis he instead started more programs that would just add to the problem.the rest of his agenda is just as radical and also will just add to the problem.

    You know I don't consider unemployment at 5% or lower and a strong, growing economy making a "total mess of the Country". I do think that quadrupling the deficit, raising taxes on the working people, a stagnant housing market and a dow that is below 12000 are marks of failure. It also doesn't make me feel secure that Democrats are "comfortable" with 9.6% unemployment.

    Actually the recession ended quickly without help from Obama. Obama spent needlessly and created no jobs. He also forced Obamacare with reconciliation its just too much for Americans to take

    it's just the republican strategy to take power no matter the cost to the nation.

    now they are in it though, they will have to lead.

    the other odd thing is if they choose to try to investigate obama with hopes of digging something up, he can start to investigate torture in the bush years - and many many many other things from the bush years.

    did the bush era criminals really think they would get away with it?

    I think there is some subconscious racism involved. Look at the whole Obama Muslim postage stamp thing that is going around in emails again.
