I gotta tell ya, I get a real kick out of this type of statement.

Do you REALLY believe that ANYONE can be any wose than Bush?

Lets look at his record...

1. He inherited a booming economy and a yearly surplus.

2. He (and partly Clinton) flubbed any chance at stopping 9/11.

3. He invaded a Sovereign State based on a lie (WMD).

4. The US continues to hemorrage US taxpayer money in Iraq.

5. He's now losing in Afghanistan.

6. While we're running the biggest deficits in our history, Iraq is running a surplus.

7. 4,000+ dead (brave) soldiers, more than 25,000 wounded Iraq Vets who need full time care (often given to them by their parents since the care for our wounded has been abysmal by in large).

8. He has presided over a catastrophic financial meltdown which has led to a 700 billion dollar (socialist style) bailout of corporate America (remember, welfare is ONLY bad when given too poor people, but it is "necessary" for the wealthy).

9. The taxpayer (you and I) will be paying for 8 years of Bush (through higher taxes) for the next 20-30 years.

10. The next President is already screwed, regardless who it is, because of 8 years of a moron currently sleeping in the white house.

So, what's to be afraid of? 8 years of Bush has killed me yet and while most of us are close to death (on account of 8 years of "conservative" rule), if Obama pushes us over the ledge I can't pin the blame on him since Bush marched me the 200 miles it took to get there.

BTW, Obama really gets it right when he put a spin on the Reagan phrase... "are you better off than you were 4 weeks ago"? Republicans...pfffft.
