Subject: Re: I am disgusted with the way this country is turning into! by dan0617 on 2009/4/7 17:31:24 Amazing where this thread went. My opinion: Don't hate Bush or his decisions, he did very good IMO with the decisions he had to make. Hind sight is 20/20 and even looking back I don't think he did that bad. Could have gotten out of Iraq sooner, IMO. Spent too much money on other countries that could have been spent on ours. Not perfect, but nobody is. I'm tired of hearing Obama making it sound like Bush ruined everything in the country, or that the things that got ruined were all Bush's fault. We do have more than 1 guy that has to agree to something for it to pass, or not pass. Don't hate Obama for what he is trying to do or what he is doing just yet. I disagree with him bailing this much money into the banking system, or bailing out auto manufacturers before they claim bankruptcy and break the union contracts that contributed to putting them in the situation they are in, but something needs done to help the economy. I think much of congress agrees that some major things need to happen and they are willing to "let him try" by passing things now that in retrospect they may have shot down, but I think they will scale back soon on agreeing with him if major recovery signs don't soon surface. I think gun laws should stay the way they are, they just need enforced better. Minor changes could be made (as could be with many things) but this country is a world leader and we have become so for a reason. So, IMO, we don't need to make major wholesale changes to anything. "Don't change the whole engine because the temp sensor and a fuel injector are malfunctioning". In summary, I think Bush did good. I'm giving Obama a chance. I could care less what color anybody is. I am relying on the rest of the people in Washington to shoot down the worst of Obama's ideas and to push through the best. I feel they don't know exactly what to do with many issues right now with the economy and therefore will allow more shit to slide that we would not, but I think they will represent us pretty well in their decisions on long term issues such as gun control. Agree with me or not, I don't care. |
