Obama "Bad As Bush?"

People like to criticize Obama now as “being as bad as Bush.” But what does that mean? I don’t see George Bush as being a “bad president.” I do have my problems with him, as I did with other presidents before him. Like his refusal to allow stem cell research on government grants, for instance. But that’s a “difference of opinion on policy.” But people never say WHAT makes him a “bad president.” When questioned, they usually give as examples various differences of opinion on policy. That doesn’t necessarily make him a bad president. It takes more than that to be a “bad president.” Differences of opinion on policy are part and parcel of BEING president. What Obama has done is to violate the very Constitution he swore to uphold. Did this oath mean NOTHING to him? If so, what is it FOR? THAT is something that MAKES a “bad president.”

People who say Bush is a bad president never offer any examples of HOW he was a bad president, unless pressed. Then they offer disagreements on policy. Nothing there makes Bush a “bad president.” Was starting the war in Iraq that took Saddam down being a “bad president?” No. Those who think it was are merely stating a difference of opinion on policy. Iraq was a major sanctuary and training center for Islamic terrorists and invading Iraq and taking the murderous dictator Saddam Hussein down eliminated it. He went to Congress to do so, which makes that invasion LEGAL. Were there “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq? We’ll never know. He gave them enough warning they could ship any they had out of Iraq (which might have been bad tactics, but didn’t make him a “bad president.”). I can say that there have been some WMD’s FOUND in Iraq after determined search. I have yet to hear a viable example of WHY Bush was a bad president. If any of you “Bush-haters” out there have one that’s not a simple disagreement on policy, I’d love to hear it. (Just common sense)
