I find it all amusing that cons want us to forget Dubya cuz Dubya's not running, and then they wanna go back to how we were 4 yearas ago...which brings Dubya into this campaign.
It's worth another chuckle to see the poll question asked about deserving a second term when the question wasn't "who is more deserving of the presidency, Obama or Romney?" No man deserves the presidency; which candidate has earned the next term is the question. Facts:
1) Obama spent the last 4 years working on a problem that took 8 years of Republican rule to create. Did he work on it? Yes.
2) Romney is of the party of the previous 8 years that took the entirety of that 8 year period to wreck the economy AND he didn't have any answers to help Dubya rescue the economy 4 years ago. Did he work on the problem the last 4 years when Obama called for "all hands of both parties on deck"? No--if he has the answers, he held out on America for the last 4 years, so the answer to the question "was he working on it?" is a resounding NOT ONLY NO, BUT HELL NO. Romney's got nothing for America.
I'll concede
FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT that Dubya is 100% responsible for the economic mess extant on January 20, 2009. Therefore....
WHAT??O got four years to work on the mess before he gets graded on the effort. He hasn't done the job. Better, more rational economic policies would have induced a more normal recovery. Instead, O chose to go the class warfare route which, judging from the comments here and at lincoln's, must feel awfully damned good.
