If Barack H. Obama is a centrist, then George W. Bush is a liberal.

I merged part of another thread with this, and deleted the remainder of that other thread, so things may be a little out of order here.

And there are countless others. It's as I have been saying; politics is like a sporting event to a large segment of the American populace. Go team go! Fight, fight fight!

Armistead - post talking points much? The CBO - being non-partisan - would not label anything a "Republican guided misadventure".

I'm sure someone could post rebutting talking points, but I have better things to do with my time than let others tell me what to think so I can parrot them.

Takeda has it right - it has become a sporting event. Which is sad, because we should all be pulling for the same team - and that team has 3 letters - not one. U S of A. Not R or D.

Thats the key - it should stop being politics, and be about results. When one looks at results, the last 4 presidents - current one included - have been pretty dang crappy. Bush 1 saw a recession coming and floundered his way through it, taking some actions that did little more than set up his successor to fail - leading to the .com bust. Clinton was not horrible economically, but he wasn't that great either, and his inaction on national security later cost us on September 11th. "Dubya" Bush was willing to fight when it came to national security, though he was a bit myopic in his targetting. Economically he wasn't paying much attention, and failed to act on that side of the house following the turmoil he faced early. Thus the "Great Recession" was born. Obama, facing a fiscal crisis, has focused on anything but resolving the economic issues this country is dealing with. Social issues and pandering to his supporters while bogging down the economic engines of this country has been his actions so far.

See - its not about the letter - for 22 years the pilots in the wheelhouse either knew how to steer, or knew how to make the ship go - but none of em knew how to do both. When you drift for 20 years, you end up where we are today.
