It's a result of the fact that after eight years, conservatives as a group (maybe you and some others excluded on occasion) have all of the sudden found out that they're outraged and offended by certain things....that have not bothered them one bit for eight years. Example. Bush spending. Good. Obama spending. Bad. Obama not being at command central 24/7 while the country is crumbling. Bad. Bush not being at command central 24/7 while the country is crumbling. Totally okay. That's my point...is that way too many of you are making it way too easy to just point back at Bush, point out that after eight years of sitting idly by about certain things, that you don't have a leg to stand on for certain issues.
This was one of them...and my 'typical liberal response' was basically the perfect response, so my point was well taken, I see, by the fact that you labeled it as such.

I'm sorry.. but Bush being a bad President for 8 years doesnt excuse Obama for being a bad President (IMO) for the past two months.
And the majority of conservatives on here and in the world feel exactly the same way about Bush... the spending was horrible and I think it was never okay with most conservatives. My Dad is as big of a Republican as it gets (like Chuck) and he always talks about how horrible and non-conservative Bush was when it came to spending. It was an outrage.
Now, we have an extremely liberal president, pretending to govern from the center, who is making the Bush spending look like pocket change. Its outrageous.
Now its obvious, that Bush made a ton of mistakes... but to keep on using that as excuses for Obama is not productive.
I really want Obama to do well... I'd love to see 4 or 8 years from now Obama going down as the greatest President ever... getting us successfully out of a recession while maintaining the American principles and values that has made us the greatest country in the world. I want to see him keep the American dream alive. I'd love to see him figure out how to create and maintain peace and stability in the Middle East.
I just dont think spending a trillion dollars a day is going to be the answer. (of course a slight exaggeration)
