    Bush was a lot more honest.

    The main stream press were devoted to making George Bush look bad and are devoted to hiding all of Obama's flaws and poor decisions.

    Yes. Bush was asleep at the switch and let 9-11 happen by his sheer laziness. He started 2 wars we never needed that cost $ 2 TRILLION each. They might as well have taken all that money out to the street and burned it for all the good it did. And he cut taxes for billionaires. A true idiot. Obama on the other hand has worked very hard to repair the damage Bush left behind. But don't kid yourself, it will take generations to climb out of the hole that arrogant little moron dug for America. In fact it might never recover. Thank God for honest competent intelligent men like Obama, they are America's only hope. Another Bush will end it permanently for the US.

    Yes, although I don't consider George W. Bush to have been a President because he (with the help of the Supreme Court the 1st time) stole both elections. I would need to write a very long book just to list all the crimes and shortcomings of the Bush Crime Family, and I think there are a number of books already written. He should have been impeached, and most likely executed for treason. I'm somewhat disappointed in President Obama because I don't think he's liberal enough, he's a poor negotiator, and still seems to think that Republicans are decent people who he can have rational discussions with. He also refused to prosecute the Bush Administration for their crimes.

    I cannot think of a single issue where President Obama isn't either far better or far less bad than Bush. The only positive thing I can say about Bush is that he did not declare martial law and try to prevent President Obama from taking office, and he left office voluntarily and in accordance with the Constitution.

    Yes, 1000 times yes.

    Bush - the worst president, ever, by 50 light years.

    Obama - the most obstructed president ever.

    Yes, but it's a close call. On paper, Obama seems much better, but he's continued a lot of the programs that I hated under Bush, so he loses a lot of points. However, I think Bush would have us in a war with Iran by now, and maybe North Korea and Syria, too, if he could find a way to swing it. Also, he hasn't spent nearly as much money as Bush, unless you count him putting war spending back in the budget.

    George Bush was NOT a good president BUT he was 5000 times better than Barack Obama.

    Nope, Obama's surge in Afghanistan didn't accomplish anything except for getting more American troops killed. At least the Iraq war removed Saddam Hussein and his regime from power.

    Oblama is arrogant , self centered , hateful to those who oppose him , He shows that his desire is to become dictator ; already is to some extent by illegally modifying laws to suit his agenda

    We could only know that if we knew what Obama would have done if 9/11 had happened eight months into HIS term.

    I don't care that he "deported" more than 5 preceding terms combined, he's the worst president ever.
