Looking back on it how the hell did W. get elected president?

[ill]

The disrespect for Bush Y'all mad as fukk. I bet every single one of you wanted to go to war on 9/11. He played the hand that was dealt to him. Some of you actually wanted Gore to win? Mister "I created the internet and global warming". .

Be happy that Bush stole Florida. Al Gore would have taxed Afghanistans carbon emissions instead of going to war over 9/11.

Bush had a 90% approval for 2 days during his first term - September 21 & 22, 2001 - right after he gave his 9-11 speech that was very well received by the country that was in the middle of a historic crisis. By the end of 2001, those numbers dropped and never came back up.

And yeah, I'm the 10% that was still disapproved because I'm not a fan of any entitled white men that buy their way into political office using family connections and a fortune that was made from trading slaves.

You mean like every other Presidential candidate, ever? (Well maybe minus that last line)

How about entitled black men like Obama? Still feel the same way?

There's no real comparison there considering that Obama was elected by a huge majority and lil Bush had his daddy steal the election for him.

But to answer your question, no, I don't feel the same way about entitled black men buying their way into political office with their family's influence and generations of dirty money because I've never had the opportunity to see that happen.

Oh I see. So Obama didn't use any generational wealth for his campaigns? He didn't use his influence to get ahead in the political world? Kind of hard to believe for me seeing as he's from one of the most politically corrupt cities in the country (Chicago). Also a bit hard to believe seeing as ANY politician has to do so much dirt to get ahead in that world, yet Obama is squeaky clean in your eyes. Ok.

How do you feel about Obama adding four TRILLION dollars to our national debt?

I'm not even going to dignify the comparison between the Bushes - one of the oldest and richest families in this country - with Obama and his upper middle-class wealth.

And Bush added over 5 TRILLION dollars to our national debt. I much prefer Obama's debt that was used to bail us out of Bush's disastrous economic policies and put off a global recession.

That was for one week after 9/11.
He left office with the lowest rating for an outgoing president at 23%

Remember when his approval ratings among blacks fell to 2% in the aftermath of Katrina?

This is some KingpinOG esque warping of reality. The year Obama took office, the federal DEFICIT was 1.4 TRILLION dollars. That's an enormous rate, and it was the reponsibility of BUSH. This year, it was 483 BILLION dollars. Obama wiped nearly a trilliion dollars off the deficit and slowed the growth of the debt significantly.

But you'll defend Obama while he plays PS4 with his drone operations; which Amnesty Intl say constitute war crimes in Yemen and Pakistan. Little kids scared to come outside because death drops from the skies .

The drone program is obviosuly a terrible mistake, I never said otherwise. And no one can possibly defend it. But this mofo Bush INVADED a country on false pretenses, lead to the deaths of HUNREDS OF THOUSANDS of civilains and wasted TRILLIONS of dollars that could have been put to use to actually benefit people. Iraq is in a WORSE state today.

GWB was seen as bringing morals back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. A lot of people were upset that Billy Clint was getting his dikk sucked. The money was flowing and people thought was that it was going to last forever. The gov was running a "surplus", the cold war was over, people actually thought that America was on auto pilot and that there was no way you could fukk it up. Boy were they wrong.
