Some of you may have noticed I don't post on here much anymore. It's probably the same reason I don't like to teach handicapped kids but instead prefer high ability learners. The rewards are less for me with the kids that don't get it. With that said I believe many posters on here much like the resource kid struggle with the developments in modern society and politics. Ziggers post caught my attention. The post concerning the hatred of Bush. I have no idea why anyone would hate Bush he was totally overwhelmed by the presidency in my opinion but is a good man and person.
With the my premise that Bush accomplished little positives as president some of you still insist that Obama has accomplished nothing. I'll give you my list Obama's 10 IMO best accomplishments and you give me the list of what Bush accomplished. No B.S. Obama wants your guns, he's a Muslim, he wasn't born in the U.S., he mishandled Benghazi, or any other of Manny's tin hat dribble but actual facts of why you feel Bush rates higher than Obama as president. By the way Obama is about a "C" about the same as Bush.
1. The ACA isn't the disaster you are claiming it is. Implementation was terrible and ill prepared, but it is beginning the process of health care reform which the executive and legislative branch has been looking at since the 70's.
2. The numbers vary but during Obama's administration 3.9 million private sector jobs have been created to date. That is more than the 8 years of the Bush administration.
3. Wall Street had decided it was regulation free the Dodd-Frank reform Act is an attempt to pull back some of the power.
4. Iraq was a disaster which we needed to get out of, we are no longer there.
5. The restucting of the auto industry was controversial no doubt but the industry was saved and for the first time in 27 years the big 3 automotive companies are actually increasing market shares over foreign auto makers.
6. The government quit subsidizing large banks by ending the implementation of the program through the banks.
7. How can you dislike helping out the veterans? The veterans affairs budget was increased 16% in 2010, 10% in 2011. (Yes I know a lot of wounded disabled vets came home, who caused that?)
Because of the change in veterans benefits program 78% now qualify for tuition for college or tech training. This doesn't even mention the tax credit allowed now for hiring a veteran.
8. The sanctions on Iraq appear to be working at least we haven't sent more troops to die in that crap hole.
9. Bush's signature program No Child Left Behind was ended. Find me one positive by a reputable source on that the billions of dollars spent on NCLB weren't money wasted.
10. Were not in war in Syria no doubt in my mind Shooter Cheney would have had Bush pull the trigger an as week as he was he wouldn't have been able to resist.
That was more thinking than I like to do. Someone prove me wrong, use your brain and give a realistic answer not your typical canned response. It's to bad AA is smoking a pipe or something he would have to bite on this.
