Sorry O59, but Iran was Carter's fault.

I'm not saying Carter was worse than anyone else, they have all been very inept at providing any meaningful change. Well I must qualify that with - POSITIVE meaningful change.

So in essence I did not expect much. I merely expect a slight change in direction, between the fact that he must conform, and the fact that the President is not God, what can you expect ?

If he can just remember that his job is to get jobs back, or get new ones, that will do. Fuck getting out of Iraq right this minute, fuck abortion, gay marriage all that shit. Concentrate on job one. We don't want you handouts we want jobs.

Even if we got jobs our customers need jobs. If the jobs come back everything else will follow. That is reality.

Stagflation.
"Malaise"
Iran
Afghanistan

Unlike Bush, Carter was a fuckup from start to finish, who continued to celebrate his fucking up after he left office by going to places like Haiti and pretending to be a U.S diplomat.

Carter inherited a malaise and a fucked up economy (just as Obama is inheriting one now from a Republican President). He inherited a rebellious Iran who had had enough of an American backed oppressive regime. As for Afghanistan, what was he to do, start WWIII? I notice reagan didn't do anything about Afghanistan.

The difference between Reagan and Carter is Reagan was a lucky president. He had to be lucky because he was senile and incapable of making decisions. Maybe Reagan just had good puppeteers working him.

Can you give us good folks some examples of what Bush hasn`t fucked up or degraded,deminished or ruined?

Tax cuts. Those were a good idea, protestations of socialists notwithstanding. (Economic reality #1: taxes are bad, tax hikes are worse, tax cuts are helpful).

Response to 9/11. A+ on that one, despite what the Democrat progagandists say.

And one that is straight out of the Democratic playbook: aid to Africa.

On spending, all spending originates with CONGRESS. Those 535 fuckups are the ones that create economic crises such as the one now unfolding (Bush didn't tell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy up subprime loans and encourage folks with no money and worse credit to borrow to the hilt--Congress on both sides of the aisle owns that one outright). Don't quite know why you insist on giving that degraded and decrepit den of demagogues a free ride on everything, but whatever culpability Bush has on the economy, CONGRESS has several orders of magnitude more. And that includes all those saintly Democrats like Drama Queen par excellence Nancy Pelosi and the Dean of Deceit Harry Reid. The lot of them need to be rounded up and sent home, preferably in chains for criminal impersonation of government.

Blaming Bush for everything is nothing more than damn foolishness, and will only result in a continuation of government foolishness (yes, I know, "government foolishness" is redundant).

I expect any politician make adjustments and compromises while in office. It is the natue of the trade. Can you provide an example of someone who fulfilled 100% of their stated goals and items on their agenda once they took office?
