why cant liberals just face the fact that clinton was a horrible presidnet and gwb is a great president?

Question

bushs number are better than clintons, clinton raised taxes and bush lowers them and the economy is booming because of bush, lower unemployment rate than clinton, when bush was elected he brought this country out of a recession that clinton got us into by firing more than a million workers in his last 2 years and all you libs dont say NAFTA fired everyone becuase clinton signed a bill for NAFTA thus bill clinton ruined this country

Answer 1

You are horribly uneducated. If you call increasing our national debt by billions of dollars per year being economically sound, what happens when the bottom falls out. I would hardly call this economy booming. You also fail to mention that Bill Clinton operated with a budget surplus while Bush operates with a huge deficit. This may be because of the war, but the war was Bush's main cause. Oh andby the way how is that war coming along. There is nor end in site and it could be decades before we are able to withdraw. When Clinton dealt with Iraq he did it with surgical precision and took care of the situation in Iraq without having any type of extended conflict. The main difference is that the rest of the world repected Clinton, but no one respects Bush. You also fail to mention that since our commander in chief took power, not one, but two countries have began enriched uranium programs. In case you don't know what that means, it means they have the power to make nuclear weapons. One leader directly said they did it because of our president's attitude toward him. That is good leadership. Also, since NAFTA there has been a net increase in American jobs, my college international business teacher stresses that fact all the time. So while we have lost low paying jobs we havce gained even more higher paying jobs. Look it up, it is a fact. Clinton did not fire those workers. Poor business management fired those workers. They were fired because they were overpayed by incompetent bosses. Don't blame a president for that. And you can thank Bill Clinton for the lower prices you enjoy because of NAFTA. So good question, actually it is not a good question because you are comparing apples to oranges and your facts are wrong. Congratulations.
P.S. and G.W. wants to cut educational spendning, so if you want to go to college someday, he wants to make sure you have to pay more.
P.P.S. and your wonderfol president wants it to be legal to essentially "spy" on you and every other citizen.

Answer 2

I understand what you are saying but neither of the men have yet to have their total terms analyzed. I'm pretty sure we have to wait about 25 years before they release all the files of a particular presidency. At that time their legacies will be studied in depth.

And just so you know, NAFTA still hasn't been completely full filled. They are certainly trying to get there but, all the terms have not been complied with. I'm sure that's on the side of South America.
Anyway, why would you think North American free trade is a bad thing?

Although I agree that there was a depression starting at the end of Clinton's watch and Bush had to do something. I got to tell you , economically I was doing better with Clinton (voted Bush). Conceivably, and by economists tales, sometimes it can take years for an economy as big as ours to go flat or bust. Social Security is the blunder I blame on the Democrats. Hope they think about fixing it.

By the way, the person name "g" who answered has their figures confused. Prime rate and Mortgage rate are two different numbers. Also, people make money when the stock markets are down also.

Answer 3

I think the answer can be found in the blatantly false claims made by some conservatives, such as yourself. Hopefully this will help answer your "question".

1. "bushs number are better than clintons"

Bush's approval ratings are at an all time low for his presidency(1)(2) and worse than Clinton's lowest approval rating ever(3), which was during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

2. "clinton raised taxes and bush lowers them and the economy is booming because of bush, lower unemployment rate than clinton"

According to the National Archive, the Clinton administration's economic policies had resulted in the "First budget surplus in a generation -- the largest dollar surplus on record", had "created 17.7 million new jobs -- with the highest percentage in the private sector in 50 years" and had curbed government spending "Cut from 22.5% in 1992 to 19.6% in 1998 -- lowest level in 25 years"(4) In 1992, the administration of Bush Sr. left America with a deficit of $290 billion, which the National Archive documents as being "the biggest dollar deficit in American history".(5) When G.W. Bush was elected president he inherited an economy with a $122.7 billion surplus(6) and followed an administration that, for the first time in U.S. history, had 7 years of economic growth.(7)(8) The economy under the Bush administration, by 2004, had reached a $413 billion deficit, the lowest during his presidency. His tax cuts cost the American economy an estimated $1 trillion and the 2007 deficit is projected at $286 billion.(9) The unemployment rate has been and remains higher than when Bush took office.(10)

3. "NAFTA fired everyone becuase clinton signed a bill for NAFTA"

It's true, Clinton signed it, only only after bi-partisan approval in the House and Senate. NAFTA "was initially pursued by free-trade conservative governments in the United States and Canada, led by Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and U.S. President George H. W. Bush."(11) The Bush administration has fully supported NAFTA and in 2004 passed CAFTA or the Central America Free Trade Agreement, expanding the free trade agreement to include several other South American countries.(12)

Hopefully this will clear up any questions you have about "presidnet" G.W. Bush. You should consider checking some of your facts and using a spell checker.

Answer 4

Clinton may have not been the best moral example for our country but he was a great president. I don't know where you got your facts but your a complete dumbass. Our national debt is higher than its ever been in our country's history. When Clinton was in office it was at an all time low. And just where the **** is this booming economy? The unemployment rate is a lot higher now than it was under Clinton. As far as the recession that begun AFTER Bush took office. Why do you think Bush is a great Pres? Because He's sending our troops to be killed needlessly? Because He lied to get us involved in a war? Maybe its because he claims to be a strong christian? Do you really think that is an act of a christian? To tell lies that get thousands of people killed just to promote his own personal agendas? I Mean really, he's a politician. That should be your first clue he is not a christian.

Answer 5

Why can't you face the fact it isn't only liberals who think Bush is one of the worst Presidents this country has ever had? If it was just liberals who thought Bush sucks as a President the election would have gone the way of the Republicans. I'm a moderate and I would much rather have Bill Clinton back than that demogogue Bush.

Answer 6

This is the works of a Republican moron they call
the Presidnet (Spelled the way the Repug asking this
question thinks the word PRESIDENT is spelled)

The Iraq war is consuming over $1.4 billion a week - or $200 million a day. In the time it takes you to read this article, the American government will have spent $700,000 on the war. The war has cost $200 billion already. Economists have estimated the war's ultimate bill will be $1-2 trillion, which includes costs such as the hospitalization and long-term care of tens of thousands of wounded veterans, interest payments on the wartime debt and replacement of worn-out equipment.

In the case of Iraq, instead of raising taxes to pay for the war, the current Bush administration is cutting them, adding hundreds of billions of dollars to the federal deficit. The Bush administration has raised the ceiling on the national debt from $5.95 trillion in 2001 to $9.62 trillion in 2006, an increase of over 60 percent in five years. All this debt must eventually be repaid by taxing us,
OUR CHILDREN & OUR GRANDCHILDREN.

Why are Republicans such brain dead lemmings
when it comes to the COSTS of their war
on the Iraqi citizens and they don't care about
the future generations to come will end up PAYING?

Answer 7

Even at his lowest point (impeachment), Clinton's popularity still trumped Bush's. Latest polls show Dubya with only 31% approval rating....that's your "great" president for you. Let's not go into Iraq, homeland security, curtailing of civil liberties, Terry Schiavo, Donald Rumsfeld, the Dubai Ports deal, Social Security Reform, the ElectionFix of 2000, PlameGate, intel reports indicating Bush's War on Terror is actually INCREASING the threat of terrorism, Tom DeLay, Cheney's hunting accident, the conduct of the Bush Daugthers, the November Elections outcome, and the staggering deficit. Ye gods, man --- even many of his fellow conservatives hate him and voted Democrat a few weeks ago!

Or does "great" mean "abyssmal" in your language?

Answer 8

For the same reason that supporters of Bush can't seem to face the fact that regardless of how many people like Bush, he's admitted to thousands of counts of federal felony crimes, and the Supreme Court has confirmed he's committed war crimes.

Being popular is not an excuse for breaking the law. No matter how many other presidents may also have broken the law in the past.

Answer 9

OK. Do you REALLY want to bait me and get me going? Alright, I'm game. Hook, line and sinker baby. Hook, line and sinker. But, will you be able to reel me in? Hold on to your trowsers and panties folks! The fecal matter is REALLY gonna fly!!!

War Crimes? REALLY. Let's look at some basic facts.
Jimmy Carter mishandled the foreign affairs and policies of the middle east long lines at the gas umps were a prime indicator. Ask your folks.... Carter then gutted the CIA, and made illegal our network of intellegence gathering from around the world. Carter gave the Shaw of Iran -- a known criminal on the lamb, refuge.
02Aug1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait
16Aug1990, Coaliton forces from around the world began flooding into the region to repell the invasion.
Sorry, I don't remember the next date exactly, I was too buy getting shot at.
Mar1991? Saddam agreed to a U.N. sanctioned cease fire.
Mar1991- until new invasion, U.N, corruption and food for oil scandle rendered U.N. unable to uphold sanctions previously agreed upon. Look at France, Germany and Russia primarily.
Threats of a build of of chemical weapons were interpreted by CIA analysists, based on what little information could be gleened from our own resources as well as other nations.
With the facts presented, the U.N. just couldn't bring itself around to cutting off the bribe money. The democRATS of this country saw the evidence and agreed to uphold the U.N. cease fire agreement. When diplomacy failed, the bombs rained down. A ruthless dictator fell and a country was suddenly free of his oppresion.
Fact, chemical weapons WERE found. They were left overs from the Iran/Iraq war of 1979, so according to the liberals, those don't count. Never mind the fact that they are more lethal now than when they were first produced.

*sigh* That having all been said, let's just ignore the facts, continue to cry about how that dastardly Bush and his band of NeoCons "stole" the Whitehouse and calll for seditious rhetoric and treason. Let us continue to ignore the facts so that we may continue to give aid to the enemy -- the terrorists who were commending the American people for having voted in the weak minded democRATS.
I think I want to become a liberal, bleating heart --that's right, bleating, democrat. Which should I have removed first? My brain? My skull -- so I can be soft in the head.? My stomach muscles -- so I can be soft in the belly." My nads -- no explanation needed there folks!? Or, my spine? Man I love his! It'll be a whole new me! My wife, family and friends will never recognize me!!!

Answer 10

.... have you actually looked at the numbers?

clearly not...

I gauge things based on improvement... where you start to where you finish...

the dow went from 3,000 to 11,000 under Clinton...

the dow went from 11,000 to 12,000 under Bush....

hmmm... .8,000 point increase to 1,000 point increase

unemployment...

Clinton inherited a horrible 7 percent and it went to 4 percent... that's 3 percent...

Bush inherited that 4 percent... and it was at 4.4 percent, last time I checked...

so... 3 percent improvement vs. .4 percent decrease...

and Clinton fired workers? did they work for him in a company?
I never heard about that one?

and who passed the NAFTA bill... Republican congress... who started and signed CAFTA... Republicans and Bush signed it...

I don't agree with Clinton signing it... but he didn't initiate the bill...

yeah... I guess I'm just "ignoring the numbers" though... hahaha
