GOP debate theme: GWB "kept us safe"

[middleview]

I SAID we shouldn't be hearing about how he's at fault for everything that's happened since 2009. Understand now?

We are still spending money on Medicare part D.... We are still paying for the costs of the invasion of Iraq and will be until the last wounded and damaged soldier has either been healed or has passed away....We will be paying the costs associated with the Bush recession for a long time...do you understand now?

No...YOU don't get it! I didn't say he wasn't responsible for those things! I'm talking about what OBAMA has done since 2009...things HE put in place, things that have occurred since HE became president! Got it now??

Bush is not responsible for the Affordable Care Act. Bush is not responsible for the the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Bush is responsible for the withdrawal from Iraq, for better or worse.

The extension to unemployment was certainly made necessary by Bush's economy. The increase in the number of people on food stamps are because of the Bush economy.

It really is unfortunate for us that Obama didn't get the benefit of Clinton's economy that Bush did.

Here ya go....get educated.

WASHINGTON — In a move meant to reassure a vital Persian Gulf ally about the Iran nuclear deal, the Pentagon is finalizing a $1 billion arms agreement with Saudi Arabia that will provide weapons for the Saudi war effort against the Islamic State and Yemen, senior administration officials said Thursday.

Islam Must Be Destroyed

Just what I advised. Profit from our enemies' killer DNA by selling arms to both sides in their Sunni/Shiite civil war.

As far as I know....we're still in Afghanistan.

Obama said in 2008 that if he didn't make things better in 4 yrs, then he'd have no 2nd term. Things have not gotten better when it comes to people on food stamps....they've gotten much worse. THAT is on Obama. If the economy is as good as you think, why are there now over 41M on it??

Yes, we still have troops in Afghanistan to support the Afghan military. We have had a total of 8 KIA in 2015. Considering that we had 300 in 2008, I'd say that is an improvement.

Just what do you think Obama has done to force more people onto food stamps?

If the economy is as bad as you think why are we still increasing the number of people with jobs, unlike 2008 when we were losing 750,000 per month?

A lot of people lost their jobs due to the Bush economy. Those people, in a lot of cases, accepted jobs that paid less than they used to get. That is why people went on food stamps.
What should Obama have done to prevent that?

You guys keep coming up with silly stuff like new business startups have dropped off because of Obama....The fact is that the Chinese economy is in the toilet. The EU economy is suffering. That is why our economic recovery is slow.....Our exports are way down. When the international economy improves so will ours. In the meantime things like the foodstamp program help people survive the impact of the Bush recession....

Remember that the recession that was underway when Reagan took office in 1981 continued to get worse, with an unemployment rate that peaked at the end of 1982 and did not begin to improve until mid 1983 and the unemployment rate did not decline to where it was in 1981 until 1986. The depression of 1929 did not begin to improve until 1933 when the unemployment rate peaked at 25% and even though almost every year unemployment did improve it did not get to a single digit until 1939 and finally when WWII started we reached full employment.....

The point is that your assumption that the worst recession since 1929 should have been resolved within 4 years is silly.

This ad will be airing on all the cables starting Monday... I doubt Jeb will keep repeating his (GWB kept us safe) line... too many reminders around of those many times he failed in that department.


Watch the ad that tells Jeb Bush his brother didn't keep America safe

Jeb Bush got thunderous applause from the Republican audience at last week's presidential primary debate when he said his brother, former President George W. Bush, "kept us safe."
But he's about to get something very different from a liberal outside group called Americans United for Change: An ad reminding him that his brother was president during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the US, the American invasion of Iraq, the failed federal response to Hurricane Katrina and the 2008 financial crisis.
Many Democrats believe that the party was too pliant for the elder Bush brother in the wake of the terrorist assault, ceding important ground on both policy and politics. The ad from AUC, which shares its president with the Hillary Clinton-backing superPAC American Bridge, is an indication that the Bush family narrative about the national security bona fides of George W. Bush won't go unchallenged.
"It’s as if Jeb Bush believes his brother’s presidency began on September 12th, 2001. But we’re not letting Jeb rewrite history," Brad Woodhouse, the president of AUC, said. "It’s convenient but not honest to ignore the facts that the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor happened on George W. Bush’s watch after dismissing warnings from U.S. intelligence officials weeks before 9/11 that Osama bin Laden was ‘determined to strike in US’ and that his terrorist network might hijack American planes."

TV Ad: "Safe?" - Jeb Bush Can't Rewrite History

 

[Carlsen]

And Obama hasn't.

How insane is that? GWB was president on 9/11 - the most devastating terrorist attacks in world history - and we have suffered no attacks under Obama even in the same league as 9/11.

But that doesn't stop the GOP liars - GWB "kept us safe," and Obama hasn't.

A classic example of how GOP cultists live in an upside-down fantasy land. Literally delusional.

Bush he did not keep USA safe. he cause the war in Iraq and many USA and UK militaire were killed

where are your stats of KIA's 2009-2015 @DOUBLE from 2003-2008

Just what do you think Obama has done to force more people onto food stamps?
allowed 10's 0f 1000's to enter America, a great cure for that would be this:

If the economy is as bad as you think why are we still increasing the number of people with jobs, unlike 2008 when we were losing 750,000 per month?
SOS and repeated often by YOU and other Prog Libs, stats =low paying JOBS Y never post of ad let's guess, YOU are paying ALL your employees at new eatery $15@hr+_________________? Why are most Americans in HISTORY in 2015 NOT in the workforce?

A lot of people lost their jobs due to the Bush economy. Those people, in a lot of cases, accepted jobs that paid less than they used to get. That is why people went on food stamps.
What should Obama have done to prevent that?
LMAO, what did he promise to do about it__________?

Chinese economy wasn't n the toilet in 2009 thru 2014, what did your Wonder Boy Θ do__________other than Golf Vacations? Yeah, the Θ times as well.

SOS REPEAT & REPEAT often ☻

Bush inherited a Recession and corrected it much faster.
