From 2000 to this present date, Bush and the full republican party screwed this country up but good. Taking a surplus and turning it into the biggest deficeit in history. Two wars...9/11..gas prices ....job lost...deceit and ignorance from the repugs. Then comes a new President...perfect NO...compassion YES...regular..YES. This President has done more for the people.. no all people in this country than any other in the history of the USA. Blame him for some things but don't blame him for the things Bush and the rethugs has created from 2000 to this date. YOU CAN'T MOVE A BOULDER WITHOUT HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
