And for Mr. Head in the Sand, Mr. Bush was a wealthy business owner and was referred to as the “MBA president" at the outset. You may remember that the R's used the same smart business owner horse-crap to promote Bush's capability for office. Exactly how did the business expertise turn out for the nation? I mean, aside from the original 700 billion dollar TARP program, and other well known Bush-incompetences? Upon what basis does anyone expect a Romney to do anything different than Bush or any other right wing thug for that matter.
No one questions that Bush left the country in breath-taking ruins.
O took office with a mess bigger than any human or administration in history has faced; again, courtesy of his predecessor. Given all of that, O has done okay. The country and world has stopped its economic free-fall. We have the first federal backed change attempting to restrain the out of control cost increases of health care insurance. That is HUGE. We have one war ended that never should have been started. We have another war that is winding down.
In addition to the bigger mess he inherited, if one considers the tireless obstructionism the Rs have presented since gaining a majority in the house, O has done very well against that handicap.
The names of the Republican presidential players changes over time but the party legacy speaks for itself. Too much of what the country has endured from the Republican presidents over the last 40 years are lies, foot dragging, and a demonstrated party policy of social intolerance; opportunistic excuses to commit mass-murder in the name of warfare, and financial regulatory incompetence masquerading as cronyism and presented as trickle down economic theory. All lies. That’s the legacy of the GOP.
But pay no attention to that. Just wear your daily clown face and keep up the GOP lap-dog persona.

All of this is true and I give kudos to Obama for managing a very difficult situation.
That being said, he shows no inclination to stop spending money, despite the fact that the recession is long over.
So, do you vote for him anyway due to the past history of the Republicans and be fairly certain that he will bankrupt the country?
Or do you take a shot and see if Willard will do what is necessary. Just because GWB was a complete idiot doesn't necessarily mean that Willard will be similar.
It seem rather obvious to me.
