I am really confused about something here America; all you folks that are basing President Obama about the economy, health care and jobs, etc., wherewere you when Bush for eight (8) years did nothing but run his coury in the ground?  Where were you when Bush entered into a war that we should not be in costing this country well in the trillions of dollars hich is by the way effecting our economy, health care and jobs? Why weren't you complaining then? So please unconfuse me here.

Bush is no longer President.

Afghanistan is a bigger problem presently than Iraq and is awaiting the attention of BO.

To respond to this so-called simple question would mean I agree with the statements the OP made.

I am bashing BO is because he is attempting to intrude into my healthcare. If President Bush had attempted to do this I'd have bashed him as well. The OP blames a war he doesn't like for various ills yet provides no proof the war he is so eager to blame for our ills is in fact responsible for them. I get the impression the OP wants us to tolerate BO's constant whining about Bush and never hold him responsible for any of his actions.

Mr President, your field commander in Afghanistan has requested an increase in troop levels. Make a decision.

GWB disgusted me. I liked him right after 9/11, but then, in my eyes, he became the most ineffectual, lying, and manipulating president we've had in many, many years. He did absolutely nothing for the American people. He wasted billions upon billions of our tax dollars on his own agenda (chasing Saddam Hussain). He turned loose the banking industry from regulation and let it run wild; he actually encouraged

"Intruding into YOUR healthcare? YOUR healthcare?? What about MY healthcare? Or is THAT irrelevant to you? Is everything based on YOU in this world?"

Yep, my healthcare. I believe in people being responsible for their own if at all possible. I have found most advocates of extensive government interdiction in healthcare are primarily concerned with getting others to pay for what I believe should be their responsibility.

"NO ONE is intruding into your healthcare, period. If you have private insurance then YOUR healthcare will be there no matter what, so from my standpoint it is YOU who is intruding into the healthcare possibilities of others."

I do not believe this.

Now that you've decided that everyone who believes healthcare should be available for everyone (even those who aren't in the best position for it) is a slacker, government teat-sucker, maybe you could explain how this intrudes into YOUR health insurance.

There are many that would rejoice to see this current government do so, and in fact are supportive of their current attempts to do so.

Given that we are in the situation of fighting two wars that were not well planned because of the previous president's shoot from the hip non-thinking
