No, because Bush engaged us in two wars he failed too finish, two recessions, a mortgage crisis, and a Wall Street bailout. Obama has finished one of Bush's war, killed bin Ladin and is finished up the second, pulled us out of the worst recession in 6 decades, forced the Euros to stand up and manage a war for once and kept US troops out of Libya. Far better.
Nice spin. Almost makes one forget about 9.1% unemployment, $15 trillion dollar deficit and US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan as we speak. And I call your Wall street bailout (which was successful) and raise you one failed Trillion dollar stimulus with a 2nd one on the way.
Only now they aren't dying in alarming numbers and the enemy is. And Bush still owns more of the deficit than Obama.
So if Bush was still President both wars would still be raging unabated? No. Obama owns the deficit and all that goes with this horrible economy. If he can't fix it in 4 years, voters won't buy that "Bush's fault" crap anymore.
true, but they won't buy bush's old fixes either, (tax cuts, deregulation, etc) which is all any of the republicans are offering
Yes. He had his chance and he failed to end them. "Stay the course", remember. The course sucked. He doesn't own all the debt. They sure aren't going to elected Bush Junior to do more of the same.
Maybe, maybe not. But a question first: are the restoration times you give for the entire system, or just when you got your service back? The city's priority in restoring electricity is for emergency services. So feeder lines that restore hospitals, fire stations, etc, get fixed first, and repairs radiate out from there. Cable or internet is based on concentrations of customers, so they work first on areas where they will get the most people back on line in a hurry. So if you live in a lesser populated area, but a block from a fire station, it would make sense that your power came back quickly, but cable took awhile.
