given the knowledge you know today, would you still have voted for George Bush

Just to claim that I'm not American. But if you blame Bush because of the current crisis, maybe you should raise the same question for Bill Clinton, during the presidency of which the white house launched excessive housing plans and promoted greatly the easy credits which finally turned in toxic assets. So my point is that the roots of the crisis are rather complexed and just an election wouldn't had changed too much.

To start off I didn't vote either time for Bush. I knew he was not what our Country needed. I knew he was not going to be a President for the people of this country but more for upper class people, oil tycoons etc. He I felt never cared about the little people, ex. Katrina. We will never no if he had not became President if Obama would be our President today. When McCain picked Palen as his running mate I knew he was going to lose. I sometimes think he did that on purpose to lose. Why would you pick someone that no one knew about and a female at that. No one wanted her to pick a step away from the Presidency. I believe President Obama is going to be one of the best Presidents we have ever had.

I believe that George Bush did a decent job with the country in the first four years that he was in office. I think that his decision in going into Iraq was correct, but I believe that it should have been planned a little better and that the troops should have had some idea as to what they should be expecting and that they would be there for a long while. However, I wish I would not have voted for him the second term as that is when I seem to think that the worst problems began with him. I don't think that we would have been better off with John Kerry either and so we had to settle for the better of the two. I am not sure if Obama would be in or not now,but I am thankful that he is and I think that over a period of time, he will make improvements. I just think that he has to have time to handle the mess that we are in at the moment. We need to remember how long it has been that we have been in a mess and that he can't fix things overnight. I feel sorry for him to have had to walk into the mess that the country was into but he bravely stepped up to the challenge. I don't know what McCain was thinking when he got Palin as his running mate,but it wasn't a well thought plan. I don't care for her and I believe that she needs to worry about her own family first. It takes a village to raise a child,but I don't think it is the village's responsibility to raise a child who is raising a child. I know a lot of people will disagree with me,but I believe that we are all entitled to our own opinions.

i am so proud and happy to say that i did not vote for george w. bush either time! he practically destroyed this country financially and made so many enemies around the world that it is going to take a long time to undo. he really should be brought up on criminal charges in my opinion. i am sure his portfolio is just fine. not sure about the question you asked about whether or not obama would have been elected if not on the heels of all the destruction the bush administration caused. i think i would have to say i think he would have been elected either way because the country was so ready for a change to business as usual, not just bush's way and i think the black community really wanted to see history made by electing a half black/half white president. i think people forget to mention that he is half white more often than not and truely what he is should not be entering into it at all.

Never voted for Bush, never voted for Obama. Neither Dems or Repubs seem to really know what they're doing.
