Why is it that whenever someone puts Obama down someone always seems to compare him to Bush?

    I, and others of my ilk, tend to respond that way when a criticism is launched at Obama for doing something that Bush did without any kind of criticism; you know, pointing out the hypocrisy.

    i'm truly getting unwell of a few of those unsubstantiated anti-Obama rates. of course, in case you cared, you grant info. of course you're only flinging airborne dirt and dirt around because you haven't any longer something extra suitable to do or think of or act approximately our u . s . a .. How ought to something so traitorous and on the stunning of our founders be so criminal? look, the factor to our debate approximately politics is polices. The rules of Bush vs. the Polices of Obama. of course it truly is had to communicate approximately Bush. Bush represents a variety of of rules that could desire to be examined. it truly is the character of a reaonsable debate on the themes: - what became the consequence of those tax cuts on the economic equipment? Why did the economic equipment nosedive into the longest recession in history? it style of feels undeniable to me the prima facia case against Bush and Republicans is obtrusive and must be made by utilising a baby. yet you're able to somewhat communicate approximately nebulous comparisons like some facebook quote or splendor dancing with the celebrities analogy. No ask your self.

    Because everyone thought Bush was terrible until they experienced the "Obama Experience"

    Please note the Obama Experience is nothing like the Jimmy Hendrix Experience apart from the fact Obama makes decisions like he's on Acid whilst listening to Hendrix's version of the start spangled banner.

    Dems on YA blame Bush for TSA gropings and for scanner images of the traveling public ending up on the internet.

    Listen toots.......sorry, I couldn't help myself.

    Personally, I never compare Obama to Bush, because that wouldn't be fair to Obama. The only time I mention Bush, when someone puts Obama down, is when that someone tries to blame Obama for the mistakes Bush made.

    In my opinion, Bush single handedly destroyed America, internally as well as our reputation around the globe. The guy was handed a surplus with the lowest unemployment in history, and we all know what he gave to Obama.

    That's like saying the Louvre, after being handed a perfectly preserved Mona Lisa, hands a destroyed, altered, sh__itted upon (literally) version to another museum after being care takers for _______ years.

    Any lawyer will tell you, when you have absoulutly no defense pull what ever you can find and throw it in. Don't give up till you run out of rabbits. In other words oslama has buried himself deep in just two years. If you still don't want to crawl away you might as well toss out some trash, it could stick if you run it through. You know like health care. Big mistake. Look up Mr. Know he will get interview. tape address and you can watch the cave dweller slip up and admit his love of the dirty ones. Taped conversations with Hiliray trapping herself lying about 1.2 mil. she forgot about. Arab sheiks don't forget a million dollar deal. Mr. Know is happy to share with the misguided souls.

    They compare Obama to Bush for the same reason that Pepsi always compares itself to Coke, because Coke is the "Real Thing"...

    Obama is dumber than Bush. Patriot Act, Warmongering, 2 faced political promises, national mandates ... nobody wanted this, and if he outlined this during 2008 he would not have been elected.

    If he started dissing liberals in 2008 like he is dissing liberals now, not only would he have lost but his career would have ended right then and there.

    Obama is a f*cking idiot and should be impeached. If he has a brain he will not run for reelection in 2012.

    Because Obama is probably the smartest man alive, while Bush is probably a 5 year old trapped in a man's body. Anyway, what type of question is this? Of course people would compare him to Obama, but it would be kind of stupid because there is NO comparison!

    Because people that were asleep for eight years need to be reminded that Bush was the biggest screw up. They are outraged by everything Obama does so they need to wake up and remember that Bush was worse.
