Quote from AK Forty Seven:
1.9-11 happened on Bushs watch
2.Intelligence officials did see 9-11 coming and informed Bush
Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US
Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US was the President's Daily Brief prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency and given to U.S. President George W. Bush on August 6, 2001. The brief warned of terrorism threats from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda 36 days before the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Some arguments have focused on clear warnings in this letter, specifically that:
the title was Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US
a large attack was planned
the attack would be on United States soil
target cities of attacks included New York City and Washington, D.C.
the World Trade Center bombing was explicitly mentioned
hijacked plane missions were anticipated
people living in, or traveling to, the United States were involved
recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York was witnessed."
3.Obama got Bin Landin ,not Bush

Bush Was a Big-Government Disaster
Now that George W. Bush has finally left office, here's a challenge to a nation famous for its proud tradition of invention: Can somebody invent a machine capable of fully measuring the disaster that was the Bush presidency?
Yes, yes, I know that attitudes towards presidencies are volatile. Harry Truman was hated when he left office and look at him now; he's so highly regarded that President Bush thought of him as a role model. There are, I'm sure, still a few William Henry Harrison dead-enders around, convinced that the 31 days the broken-down old general spent as president will someday receive the full glory they deserve.
In a way that was inconceivable when he took office, Mr. Bush -- the advance man for the "ownership society," smaller and more trustworthy government, and a humble foreign policy -- increased the size and scope of the federal government to unprecedented levels. At the same time, he constantly flashed signs of secrecy, duplicity, ineffectiveness and outright incompetence.
Think for a moment about the thousands of Transportation Security Administration screeners -- newly minted government employees all -- who continue to confiscate contact-lens solution and nail clippers while, according to nearly every field test, somehow failing to notice simulated bombs in passenger luggage.
Or schoolchildren struggling under No Child Left Behind, which federalized K-12 education to an unprecedented degree with nothing to show for it other than greater spending tabs. Or the bizarrely structured Medicare prescription-drug benefit, the largest entitlement program created since LBJ. Or the simple reality that taxpayers now guarantee some $8 trillion in inscrutable loans to a financial sector that collapsed from inscrutable loans.
5.Obamacare is nothing compared to Bushs patriot act
1&2. is there supposed to be a link with this, where are u getting this text from? Intelligence officials SAW 9/11 coming huh, they had evidence of the actual plot and Bush was aware?
3. If Bush didn't bring war to the ME, obama wouldn't have gotten bin laden.
4. Not as much as Bush, but definitely at a worse time. He knew we were already in the 2nd largest economic contraction in US history but decided that govt expansion was a good idea, in fact govt spending was/is his plan to get out of it.
Bush was a big govt disaster though, and even though i don't agree with the DHS (because they should have refined what they already have) there haven't been any successful terrorist attacks here, since its implementation.
5. Dead wrong. Obamacare marks the "unprecedented" "historical" first time ever that Americans are FORCED to make a purchase, or suffer consequences by law.
There are certainly parts of the patriot act that violate our rights, like the controversial provisions that our Constitutional law expert President..
signed extensions for last year. how come I don't see you making a fuss about it?
