I am sure conservatives gave Obama about the same chances that liberals gave Bush. :roll:
The country's problem is that Bush turned out to be no conservative. Bush crippled the country with runaway deficits and an unnecessary war, not to mention the disasters of No Child Left Behind, Medicare Prescriptions plans and unenforced immigration laws. Add in the Patriot Act and massive government takovers of private enterprise and you have the most liberal administration in memory.
The problem with Obama is not his race, his place of birth or that he won the election. His problem is that he has exacerbated an already bad situation. The health care bill will run up the deficit and add to an already crippling burden on our children. We should always beware of promises to pay for programs with "savings." Savings as far as government is concerned rarely happen.
As to the future, most people I talk with do not agree with the Democrats and do not trust the Republicans. They do not know where to turn. That might be the most dangerous problem the country faces.
I agree with almost all of what you both said. However, I do disagree that liberals did not give Bush a
decent chance. After the attack on the towers, I think most Americans supported the president--not because he was Bush, necessarily, but because he was the president. The Congress trusted him enough to vote with him on the disaster that Iraq turned out to be...it was only after that, that the tide turned against Bush.
Had he not gone into Iraq, I think he would have still had most of the Dem's support--especially since he
turned out not to be so conservative after all.
This president inherited what "Bush not being conservative"
andthe wars. cost us as a country..and no, he has not been given a decent chance by the Republican members of Congress or the Party.
Won't it be interesting if my some means, this reform actually does work...I wonder what would have happened if the two parties had actually worked together in good faith for the good of the country.
