8 years of Bush sucked ass too. 9/11 happened on his watch, the housing bubble burst on his watch, bailing out the banks who acted irresponsibly on tax payers' dime happened on his watch, the unfunded Medicare Part D plan that added to the national debt happened on his watch, two short sighted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that added to the national debt and created chaos in the middle East happened on his watch and the Hurricane Katrina debacle happened on his watch. Stop acting like Republicans are perfect! Trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives were wasted during the Bush era. Obama, like Ken Frazier had to come in and fix the previous regimes messes. Grow up pansy. Your idea of a perfect white male dominated utopia is dead. Females and minorities who are growing in number in America will not tolerate your extreme right wing fantasy.
