Bush was Obama : the Beta Test. Just not as smart. That was the Cheney/Rove/Rice presidency... an ugly, overbearing hydra oligarchy with a puppet just barely smart enough to be dangerous. Ohole is just carrying on what Bush started.

The only thing Bush had going for him was not elevating gay rights to the level of worship, and not overtly attacking our 2A rights. He just left that to his successor.

What massive education cuts? They spent more on education every damned year -- and I defy you to find me a place in the Constitution that authorizes federal expenditures or involvement in education.

Better check your memory -- gas was never $4.70/gal under Bush except maybe in CA -- it was about $2.80/gal on Jan 20, 2009. Federal gas taxes constituted a larger portion of what you paid at the pump than oil industry profits -- about double if memory serves me right.

As TEAMRICO stated, you hated Bush because you were told to hate Bush and you demonstrate it in the ignorance behind the litany of reasons you hated Bush. I was no fan, still am not, but I also pay no attention to the foil hat garbage spewed by the liberals or self-proclaimed libertarians. I'm sorry to see Rand Paul going down the same crazy path as his father, he seemed a tad more reasonable and balanced until recently.
