Do not fret your tongue burn, government run medical care is on the way and will be available to treat you in 6 to 8 weeks.

you must have pretty bad insurance through work that you would take that route

Clinton was just a much better public speaker. The man could have shot a hooker on the white house porch with TV cameras rolling and talked his way out of it.

I think he's probably the only president that I'd want to have a beer with since Teddy.

Weird, Lyndon B Johnson is in second place. Kooky.

that was a much much more intensive war and we're still outspending it by a good bit

Shocking, even.

Hay, did you know gas was like 30 cents a gallon back then?

Iraq is a much more expensive war in terms of us trying to use equipment and tech in place of boots. Yes, we save a lot of soldiers lives, but it costs more to run with.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

And Cadillacs were, like, $6000 or something. Wow.

I bet other stuff was a lot cheaper too.

Quite honestly, I'm not entirely sure what Bush has done so horribly wrong.

He's kinda fun to pick on though.

From my perspective:

1) Sign McCain-Feingold Bill

2) Massive new entitlement (prescription drugs)

3) Wanting amnesty for Illegal aliens

4) Not clearing stating clearly what resuming hostilities in Iraq. (Cutting off the head of the snake Terrorism (Iran))

5) Giving the Treasury Secretary practicely unlimited power over the U.S. economy.

6) Massive Spending

7) There is more but these are the ones that come to the top of my head.

troop deployment iraq - 130,000 per year avg
troop deployment vietnam - peaked at 537,377 in 1968

yet lyndon still managed to spend significantly less and that chart accounts for inflation so don't give me that .30 gas BS

it was in percent, not dollars. inflation doesn't matter.

Inflation covers the differences in gas perhaps, but it doesn't account for the fact that producing a tank in the Vietnam era would cost substantially less than one with current tech due to the how much more complex the things are these days.

look up. it's in percent increase. total cost doesn't matter.

Nah, Obama isn't for national health care, just cheaper health care.....
