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.
That's funny, because you LIBS are already making up excuses for Obama's failed presidency by saying things are SOOOO screwed up by W. W had to deal with 9/11, a stock market bubble and a housing bubble, all of which started in some form or another while Clinton was in office. As bad as YOU think things are now, they were FIVE times worse after Carter got done with "his shot" at running the country.
