In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald never passes up an opportunity to take a crack at Pres. Obama [View all]Jamaal510
(10,893 posts)then WTF are you doing on a Democratic website with over 10K posts? Even after everything that Obama has done for the country, you're still comparing him to Bush ll? That is straight bullshit. What about health care reform? Lowering unemployment? Lowering the deficit? Drawing down both of Bush ll's wars, being the 1st president to endorse gay marriage, signing the Fair Pay Act, and doing the auto bailout? Can you honestly say with a straight face that any Republican president would ever do any of that stuff? And all of this is in spite of constant GOP obstruction. I assume none of those accomplishments matter to you, though.
The real people who should be blamed for our country's problems is the GOP. They not only support Citizens United (like Greenwald does BTW), but they also have refused any more tax hikes on people who can afford to pay extra, they've blocked federal gun laws, they've wanted to intrude into women and gay people's private lives, and they've been trying to make it more difficult for poor people and minorities to vote state-by-state. Do you see Obama or the Democratic party doing this shit? Hell no.
To make this false equivalence between Obama and Bush ll or anyone else in today's Republican party just shows ignorance on your part about everything that has happened in Washington since January 2009 and how government works.
