To be honest, Bush Senior was the best of the last 3 presidents we've had. He fixed the **** that Reagan broke and didn't get re-elected because of it. Then Clinton came in and rode a bubble, open the gates on visa workers, gave China favorite nation status, signed NAFTA....and away our jobs went!
Bush junior is just god awful...

Didn't mean to say you were a Republican.
But your comment is what a lot of Republicans are echoing these days. "Oh yeah like Obama is REALLY going to be able to fix all the things that our man GWB royally ****ed up, good luck with that"
As if that's some kind of great reason for not voting for him.
I'm not naive enough to think that Obama has all the answers, but what he's doing, making like he can fix everything, is no different than every other candidate in every other election has done. And after what I've seen happen to this country over the past 8 years and I can understand why others are so desperate to believe that he is a miracle worker.
And personally after GWB I don't see how this country can do any worse. So I'm willing to give the man a shot and see if he can at least start to undo some of the horrendous damage that Bush has wrought.
And I agree Bush 1 was a good President. His biggest mistake was hitting it with Barbara at just the right time to ensure that his first child would be the complete disaster that is our President.
