Bush's legacy...hero to zero?

[Nebe]

on jan 17th, 2000 a euro was worth $1.01 cents. Today a euro is worth $1.32

We didnt go into Iraq to take their oil, we went in to make sure they sold it based on the dollar..

I have talked to my daughter and a friends daughter who are in college and they both voted for Obama. They told me that most kids in school believe the US goverment and Bush created the 9/11 mass murder of thousands. Now thats indicitive of what the left has created. Not what Bush did or didn't do. It became cool to bash Bush and jump on the Obama band wagon. We have a lot of very cool people here on Striper Talk.

Buckman - That's certainly a tough idea to swallow and I can't conceive of Bush being involved in it. However, if you look at the Project for A New American Century (PNAC) Mid-East "gameplan" where they state that the american public would never support their Mid-East policy UNLESS we were attcked and realize that many of the supporters of this plan were major admin. figures it is disconcerting. Did "we" do it..again I can't believe it.. but I sure think "we" took advantage of it with a purpose beyond "The War on Terror"!

Buckman, with all completely due respect, a lot of your responses to objective, cited comments are just subjective opinions.

My roommate is a high school teacher, my girlfriend is finishing her undergrad and entering grad school and neither of them agree with anything you just stated above. While I have no doubt some people are ignorant enough to bite in to the conspiracies, "most kids in school" certainly do not believe the Bush administration orchestrated the 9/11 attacks.

Also, "the left" in no way has every stated that Bush created the events of 9/11. Political idiots and conspiracy theorists created that idea. People that believe that garbage shouldn't be allowed an opinion.

And one more thing, just because someone criticizes Bush, does not mean they are from "the left" or "liberals", otherwise, 2/3rds of the the Republicans in Congress must be from the left and liberals - half of which have been criticizing Bush for 4 years now.

There are no doubt people that jumped on the Obama bandwagon, and I have personally called those people out. On the other hand, the "cool people here on Stripertalk" that you're inferring have done the same thing have stated specifics as to why they like him, his policies and his approach to being President.

When someone spouts out some factless, uneducated or fabricated reason for why they like Obama over Bush, then you can accuse people here of "jumping on the wagon with the cool kids." I've been bashing Bush for well over 4 years now, before Obama was even around.

**Edit** I'm too slow in my responses. I respect your change of "most" to "many". There are definitely some real bozos out there.

It would make a great Oliver Stone movie. It's a sensitive subject that is best left alone.
I just hope we never forget the feeling we all had that day.

I shouldn't have said most kids. I meant many do.

How did he seem like a hero?
By standing there?
Yeah, real hero. I didn't see him pulling corpses out of rubble.
I didn't see him in there helping find missing people.

If thats your idea of a hero then we're all screwed.

The thread is about perception/sentiment and how a seemingly hi flier went to a seemingly low flier..that's how I'll remember him.

As for my "real" heroes, I'm an underdog groupie from way back...

Never said that Nebe.
Once again if someone even dares think that Bush did somethings right, they are stupid and a joke to the those of you on the open and excepting left.

And if anyone questions Obama at all they are deamed too stupid to see what a great leader he might be.

God forbid anyone dare defend Bush for protecting us. FYI. Obama will keep the same policies. BECAUSE THEY WORK
