    I don't own Obama t shirts, nor do i think he has done an outstanding job, but he isn't anywhere close to being the **** up that GW was.

    The question was obviously rhetorical. Trust me, you really, really don't want me to address those petty accusations. A bunch are hogwash and all of them are trifling compare with the huge blunders of:

    1. Starting a major war in Afghanistan to eliminate Al Qadea for attacking us . . . and allowing them to get away.

    2. Staring an even larger war with a country that offered no threat to us and leaving office with it unfinished.

    3. Deregulating the mortgage industry resulting in financial collapse.

    4. Bailing out those who profitted with taxpayer dollars.​

    Anyway, some of the list actually did address your issues. Try these two.

    If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

    "Neither in French nor in English nor in Mexican."—declining to answer reporters' questions at the Summit of the Americas, Quebec City, Canada, April 21, 2001

    Both Presidents made references to non-existent languages. Both references made the news. Neither amounts to anything significant and everybody knows it.

    What has Obama done that compares to two un-won wars and an economic collapse? Is this all that you can come up with for criticism? :lol:

    He would probably have done better. It certainly would have been more interesting.

    Sabanfan, you should be really pissed off with Bush, because if he wasnt such a f-up, then there would be no Obama right now, cause I doubt Obama would have won over independents, if Bush would have done a better job.... Nor would have Obama won over Hillary voters if they didnt have such a reason to unite around him, which was Bush.

    some of these seem wildly untrue or exagerrated, and given sabanfan's history of posting untrue things he got in an email, it makes it tough to be interested enough to read.

    when challenged sabafan will say "i got this in an email, it may not be true, it is for 'entertainment" only. right. translation: meaningless nonsense not worth the electrons that carry it around the internet.
