Do we really want to remember that ?

I miss Dubya.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I miss Dubya.

In spite of the fact I hate much of what he did, I do too, sometimes.

Hell, I even miss Bubba sometimes.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I miss Dubya.

So do most comedians.

[Keystone Phil]

A great day

So do most comedians.

They still have some material in this though.

[Joe Biden 2020]

That is true.  I had forgotten about that.  It's funny, I remembered that it's been 2 years since President Obama took office, but I hadn't even thought that it's been 10 years since President Bush took office and President Clinton left.

President Bush had a lot of problems and made a lot of mistakes, but overall he wasn't the worst we've ever seen.

If I were to compare the first two years of Obama's administration against the first two years of the Bush administration, I would have to say that Bush had done just a little better halfway through his first term.  That's not really a fair comparison though as we're comparing apples and oranges as both men had much different political climates.  The world in 2009-2011 looks nothing like it did in 2001-2003.

Dude, couldn't you find anything more lame?
You ran out of jokes about the gangsta' from the hood smoking crack with the hos?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Eh, on this day in history! Google also tells me its been 50 years since Kennedy's inauguration. The world changes in such a relatively little amount of time, ten years from now we'll be looking at a completely different president... Ron Paul 2020!

[Franzl]

Obviously this was the start of a pretty bad era....but it wasn't possible to know at the time.

And BushOK: How naive are you? What did Bush do to be better than Obama? Mind you, I disapprove of Obama's performance...but what did Bush do at all?? And please don't come with the 9/11 BS...

[Antonio the Sixth]

Eh, on this day in history! Google also tells me its been 50 years since Kennedy's inauguration.

Seems logical since inaugurations happen at the same period of the year and come back every two decades. FWIW, it was also 30 years since Reagan's inauguration, 90 years since Harding's inauguration, 130 years since Garfield's inauguration, 150 years since Lincoln's inauguration, 170 years since W. H. Harrison's inauguration and 210 years since Jefferson's inauguration.

[Keystone Phil]

And please don't come with the 9/11 BS...

A major event and the response is "BS?"

Not exactly, inaguaration's were on March 4 up until 1933.

Yes, correct. Bush isn't a good president because he said some nice words and quoted the bible after 9/11.

The overall policy that followed likely would have happened under President Gore just as well.

[WillK]

Definitely a major event. 

But in what way was 9/11 a positive accomplishment of Bush? 

US gets attack; 1,000s die... and Heckav' job Bushie???

Ok, you knew I meant the other responses to the attacks.

Not necessarily but even so, that doesn't make it something that is worthy of approval?

The response to 9/11. You knew what I meant.

[Franzl]

So let me get this straight, Bush is a good president because 9/11 happened? Unless you can say how other Presidents would have reacted differently (other than the bible quoting), that's basically what you're saying.

How this is better than Obama is mind boggling.  
But then again the American people re-lected this asshat.

For probably the fourth time now, I have clearly said I approve of his response to 9/11. How the hell do you conclude that I think Bush was a good President because 9/11 happened when I literally said that wasn't the case? My point is just because other Presidents would have responded the same way doesn't mean his response isn't worthy of approval.

Yes, he should have got up, ran out of the room and did...eh...did what exactly during those seven minutes? What would have happened differently?

He should have gotten up and acted like President.  You are claiming his response to 9/11 was so great.  Well there it was -- his response to an attack on this country is to just sit there.

Can you seriously tell me you dont get angry watching that video?  American are dying in a terrorist attack and our president spends his time sitting there looking like the class idiot and you just think how wonderful he is???

On the other hand, perhaps you have a point -- our current condition would have been much better if he had just continued to sit there for the next 8 years.  So maybe getting up, late as it was, was the problem.

[Tender Branson]

Hmm, what a sad day for America (and the World) this day was (and also the election day before) ...

[Keystone Phil]

"Acted like the President" and did what? There was more to the response than this but I know how his haters like the latch on to trivial matters.

No, it doesn't make me angry. I'm still waiting to find out what he would have done differently in those seven minutes that would have stopped Americans from dying. On the other hand, if he just stood up and walked out or explained why he had to leave, it would have been "Look how he traumatized those kids!"

Funny how you want to talk about responding. How long did the current President take to respond to that little oil spill in the Gulf?

[Franzl]

Obama's supporters don't use Obama's response to the oil spill as one of his major accomplishments. You seem to think Bush is worthy of praise for something he doesn't have anything to do with.

[Keystone Phil]

Obama's supporters don't use Obama's response to the oil spill as one of his major accomplishments.

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. He wants to complain about response time between Bush and Obama and I provided an example of Obama doing a far worse job.

Bush had nothing to do with the decisions made after 9/11? For whatever idiotic reason, you think that someone doing something that is worthy of praise is meaningless because someone else would have done the same. Mind bogglingly stupid.
