let's see....obama gives us health care

bush gave us 4400 dead in a trillion dollar war

Last time I looked we were still in both wars ... 16 months later. How
long will Obama be blaming Bush for his problems?
He ran on "Change" but nothing changed.
How many soldiers have come home?
For that matter, in 16 months, how many people at MMS were fired?
Were ANY of the Cheney removed rules for drilling reinstated?

We really don't even have that health care yet. I sure have not seen
anything change.

Yes, Bush gave us two wars. One he went at with all the zealotry he could
muster... the other he pretty much ignored. Finally, even the Iraqis said
enough is enough and told us to leave. Obama is complying. The Afg.
situation was so screwed up by lack of Bush's attention, where was bin
laden?, smoke him out, dead or alive?, that it's going to take a while to
fix it.

Yes, MMS was a clusterfox. You do know who created that agency don't you?
You do know under what president? Of course you do.

Sorry you don't know about the new laws. Read up.

'What are you talking about with "new laws"?

The new health care laws, some of which have gone into effect. Sorry...
mixed post subjects.

The director of MMS serves at the pleasure of the president and Obama
could have fired her on January 20.

Yes. Clearly she should have been gone long before the spill. Obama didn't
do it and should have. Bush should have done it, but didn't.

If he had been opposed to drilling in the Gulf and was not approving
new leases I could see why it might not have worth checking out that
obscure agency but he was telling us he wanted more drilling WITH that
agency in charge.

Yes, and with the assurances of the industry. Basically, he was misinformed
(to be kind), but that's no excuse. His fault. He should have checked more
closely.


George Bush was a moron getting us in those wars., I have said that
every time it comes up so that is a non-starter for you and Bob.
I just want Obama to honor his campaign pledge and get us out.
Afghanistan is more dangerous and less productive than Iraq.

I think he is getting us out the best way possible. Not sure what you mean
by less productive though.
