Many on the left blame Bush for the debt but as we have seen...any Bush bill had support by democrats... So as the election comes and fear of ACA being repealed... Why hasnt Obama repealed any Bush bills?
How many Bush bills has Obama repealed?

Because he can not read, apparently.
Obama put an end to the state sanctioned torture, so he has that going for him.

But he never hesitated to use Bush's expansive assassination tactics:

One object in a war is to kill the enemy. I am surprised that bit of wisdom escaped you.
if you believe that, I have some ocean front property in AZ I'll sell cheap
the purpose of War is to do much harm to the enemy they don't want to fight anymore.....
Θ is NOT allowing pilots to do more than drizzle on ISIS, a thunderstorm is needed.

Not when they are US citizens with Constitutional rights. I know you guys like to wipe your asses with it, but some of us still think it's a pretty important document.
I do have a problem with that, but it could easily be rectified.

None since he is the head of the executive branch and repeal is the job of the legislative branch.
Although he did sign a bill that raised taxes and contributed significantly to reducing the deficit. And I am sure he would have sign a repeal as he promised had republicans not blocked attempts intended to do so.

Only with a trial and conviction.

The April budget surplus is a annual accounting fluke.
Bad weather is an act of god not Obama.
Lukey

Of course. So now the purpose of Obama's myriad tax hikes isn't to increase revenues? You guys are becoming parodies of fools:

People can be tried in absentia, and that would overcome your concerns.
1. Congress has to repeal bills, not the White House.
2. What legislation passed in the Bush administration would you suggest be repealed.
3. What legislation repealing a republican bill would the republicans let pass?

Your first link says this:
While raising taxes may increase revenue in the short run, over the longer term higher tax rates leads to lower economic growth. As stated, if more dollars are extracted through taxes, there is less available for consumers/corporations to utilize.
Except Corporations which didn't as I recall have their taxes raised. Have had record profits which they were not reinvesting in this country. And the tax increases were on people who by and large could already spend all they wanted whether or not there were of a few points in tax increase.
Also the article says: "The economy is not growing strongly enough to offset the drag caused by fiscal austerity."
Which if you recall all came about because the GOtParty held the debt ceiling hostage and force this austerity on the country.
The other two are guesses that could just as well go in the other direction next quarter.

1.The President asks congress to do his bidding.. What Bush bills has he asked congress to repeal?
2. Any bills passed by congress after January 2
3. That would depend which Republican. Who are you talking about?

But did it reduced the debt? And can show where the debt was reduced.
