In the midst of all this oil spill hub-bub, and people being mad that Obama isn’t doing enough or is doing too little. I think we’ve all forgotten one very important fact:
George Dubya Bush is not in office anymore. As bad as you may think Obama is doing, he’s leaps and bounds better than that fool. AND he came into office right after Bush, meaning he has to clean-up Bush’s various messes. So as a reminder that we oughta count our blessings, here are some awesome Bush quotes:
*queue Michael Jackson – Remember The Time*
I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family
Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning
There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.
One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.
I’ll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.
My asshat friend Jon says:
I see what you’re saying and all and I agree, but.. How much did Bill Clinton have to clean up?? He came after Reagan and Bush?? So for all of those people that continue to make excuses for Obama. I’m not saying that trashing Obama is the answer, but Clinton had a lot of crap to clean up too. The 80s and early 90s were not great at all.
O yeah, Obama surely is not the only President to have a lot of bullshit to clean up. But the perception is that he had so much to clean-up that just keeping the country afloat is an accomplishment. I can’t really verify that, I don’t know enough about 90s US events, BUT, Afghanistan is the longest war the US has ever been involved in. And I’ve read that this recession is the worst since the Great Depression. That sounds like a lot to tackle at the same time
