Bush had 2 cut tax stimulus checks " to boost the economy". when the country is at its highest level ever concerning people in poverity they had 2 try to pass a bail out bill just to try to help banks dispurse money to businesses and comsumers trying to buy cars and houses because people are hurting so bad they are now failing to pay there mortgages and banks are going bankrupt. experts are now saying its basically going to be impossible to put the future kids threw college cas of how fucked up the economy is right now. mccain had shown 2 support 80% of this. he believes we should stay in iraq and continue to get people killed, he has said in previous speeches that the bush administration just has a few kinks that needed fixed, and the lower class doesnt seem to be much of a priority to him. so figuritively speaking, if you are a democrat, you would have to be defined legally retarded to think about voting for another republican for office. at this point i think alot of people are just voting for the democratic party, not the candidate . You are being pretty short-sided on a lot of these claims. The 9/11 attacks came just 3 months after Bush took office, so it’s not like he caused al-Qaeda to attack. In addition, you need to recognize that Bill Clinton didn’t create the 1990’s economy, and George Bush didn’t cause the current market collapse. There is an entire industry and indeed a large portion of Congress that had plenty to do with getting us where we are. Also, Obama doesn’t magically mean Iraq goes away, though his agenda is to leave sooner rather than later, and BOTH candidates have said we still need to go to Afghanistan next, so neither candidate is ending our campaign in the Middle East. As for the “bailout,” you have two houses of Congress that have to pass that legislation and the only thing Bush can do is veto or sign it. There are some sophisticated economic principles in play and it’s not as simple as “gas used to be cheap and now it’s expensive, republicans ruin everything!” For the record, I have never supported George Bush nor do I support John McCain’s bid for the presidency. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/barak-hussein-obama-truths/199684)._
