...you vote for? Let's compare the two.

Bush:

--bailed out airlines after 9/11 (billions of dollars)
--invaded the wrong country, Iraq, which costs us thousands of servicemen and billions of dollars
--recklessly invaded Afghanistan with no plan or end in sight (billions of dollars here too)
--Added hundreds of billions of dollars to our debt with his Medicare prescription plan
--Came up with the idea to privatize Social Security right before the markets collapsed
--bailed out the banks
--bailed out the car companies
--bailed out the insurance companies
--ruined our international reputation
--took over four hundred days of vacation
--rarely gave press conferences (didn't answer anything when he did)

Obama:

--inherited two wars and the Great Recession (and a final deficit from Bush of over one trillion dollars; people forget that)
--has run up high deficits in his first two years
--has ended the Iraq War (or our combat in it)
--bought General Motors when it filed bankruptcy
--had banks pay back most of TARP
--is trying to hand over Afghnistan to the Afghanis
--passed Wall Street legislation
--passed controversial health care legislation that tries to cover everyone
--rarely gives press conferences


Who would you pick?
