I didn't say anything about Obama's policies, but I know what Bush's policies brought us to. Obama isn't doing much, but it is improving at least a little. If elected, Romney will dig us deeper into the hole that Bush put us in, and Obama isn't getting us out of very quick. I'd rather take my chances on a slow recovery, than a sinking back into the hole even deeper.

Bush certainly wasn't perfect. My contention is this, most presidents have governed to a certain standard and some have governed to a higher standard. Take Reagan and Clinton. While I do not accept or condone Bill's moral lapses in governance and personal escapades, I do admit he governed to a standard which is higher than most. And, I contend that Reagan set the table for him to have a very smooth 8 year tenure. We had 16 glorious years of good governance and economically it showed. Now, I must qualify this support of Clinton with the fact that he began policies that caused the decline of the US Armed Services, but, nobody's perfect right?

Saying all that to say this. Obama is in a whole nother galaxy when it comes to presidential comparatives. He's like nobody else I know. In other words, there is everybody else and waaay down under the sheet of paper where presidents are compaired and rated, scratched on a napkin with mustard stains on it, is your hero. I think he lives in a world that exists primarily between his own ears and he values his own council above everybody else's. Which, gets him into more and more trouble. But, no matter how nuclear the implosion of his administration waxes, he will absolutely not budge. Now, you can go on and on about never pulling a republican handle all you want. Lining up with this president isn't going to get you a lot of atta boys from anybody, but other liberals lost in la-la land.

So, yes, a lot of what we are suffering right now is indeed a culmination of uh-ohs and left turns. Like Johnson's notion of 'the great society', which of course was nothing more than welfare on steriods. But, 5.3 trillion and counting of debt and we're still in his first term. None of you all want to admit that number eclipses George W's debt for 8 years of service which included the absorption of the mother of all financial loss catalysts, 9/11. Plus the amature hour foriegn policy blinders, complete with white house 'leaked' color commentary, skyrocketing energy and cost of living increases, dogged adherence to the so-called green agenda, nixing the Canadian Pipe Line, the ObamaCare fiasco, his stooge Harry Reid's obvious stone walling anything coming up out of the house of representatives, Eric Holder and his antics, and on and on. Puts this administration in a hole by itself, devoid of company for all time, I would wager. It's one thing to say we've got a fire to put out, it's quite another to pour gallons and gallons of gas on it and keep saying, it's the guy who started it's fault.

It's time to let someone else have a go at running the country. You guys can regroup and get a candidate groomed who is more than a 'self proclaimed' genius.
