Why is Obama so hard on President Bush when no president in history has passed more Democrat bills?

Question

So if Democrats are the majority party, and all but one bill has been passed by George Bush, wouldn't "more of the same" be to have a president who continued to pass democrat bills?

Hasn't Obama voted for more of his party's legislation than any other senator?

So doesn't Obama want to be "just like Bush?"

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Obama has nothing to sell so he has to dwell on negatives of someone not even in the race. That is a normal plan for those that lack any values to offer for consideration.  It is nice to talk about ending dependence on oil in 10 years but without a plan it is just talk.

Answer 2

Presidents don't pass bills.  What are you talking about?  

The Dems have a bare majority in Congress.  The senate is a tie: 49, 49, 2 independents.  Why do Neocons forever ignore this?

This country's economy is in bad shape AND we are at war with TWO countries.  That's why Obama, and everybody else, is "so hard on President Bush".  Where have you been?

Answer 3

Unbelievable isn't it.

Answer 4

Obama and his supporters love to play the race card.

Answer 5

Yes Congress has been Majority democrats for the past 2 years and that is why our economy is going to POT!   They are mad at Bush cause he won't let us go into a DEPRESSION, no worry if Obama wins they will get their wish.

Vote Republicans back in CONGRESS

Pelosi and her Dem Cons have a 9% APPROVAL Rating!  HORRIBLE!

Answer 6

being a president is more than just about passing bills. i think you need to find out more about what's going on in both parties before you judge anyone

Obama '08

Answer 7

Because Bush is a total failure. Because Bush has caused 4,000 American men and women to die in Iraq.  Because Bush and his oil companies have destroyed the planets future and your future. Because Bush took the largest surplus in history and turned into the largest deficit in history. Because Bush has tramped the constitution.  Because Bush has stacked the Supreme court.  because Bush is a right wing religious nut job.  Because Bush cares more about what the Saudis want than what Americans want or need. Because Bush and Cheney are liars and criminals. Because Bush has abused executive power more than any president since Nixon.  Because Bush cut taxes on the wealthy while middle class Americans struggle to feed their families,  Shall I continue>??

Answer 8

First of all, the correct term is "DemocratIC Bills".  When you use a noun as an adjective, it comes off as ignorant.  Fact is, Bush has vetoed many Democratic bills.

Second of all, you pulled that claim out of thin air.  The current Congress has been criticized for not passing many bills at ALL.  If you were to do some real research on which President passed the most Democratic bills, it would probably be FDR.  If not that, LBJ.

Answer 9

Barack Obama is hard on Bush, because, well, Bush is an idiot! (No offense to people who like him). He started tap dancing on the front of the White House steps, to pass time until John McCain came while the Press was waiting. He talks about sending more troops into Iraq, when clearly it isn't getting us anywhere. He has done so many other dumb things. And (not trying to be rude!).This is why Obama is hard on him. Because Bush has brought our economy down, he has sent so many troops into Iraq, promising to pull them out, but it never gets done. On 9/11 he gets a call about the twin towers crashing down, and he keeps reading to the kids in the classroom, as if nothing is wrong in the world. I'm sure Bush is a good person, but he has made some very stupid decisions. And that, to me, is why I think Obama doesn't want ot be like Bush.

Answer 10

What your missing is the facts. While Bush had the majority in congress republican he never once vetoed any bill. Since he has total vetoed 12 bills, pocket vetoed 1 and partially vetoed 11. Only 4 have been overridden, and no he has not passed more bills than any president for the democrats. In fact, he's not even in the top 10 in that category. Go get an education my silly friend.

Answer 11

Obama and the Democrats are blaming him for things that they are responsible and promised they would do and never did. The Democrats are so wrong with this blame game that is going on.  

Answer 12

Here are the reasons:

1.  Iraq war killing +4000 America's

2.  Bush is an idiot

3.  Bush said global warming didn't exist

4.  Bush is an idiot

5.  Bush put America in debt

6.  Bush is an idiot

7.  Bush is a Repubican

8.  Bush is an idiot

Answer 13

That's not true. The only Democrat Bush has passed are the Congressman he sees on the freeway..  

Answer 14

you racist

no just kidding but someones got that card in there deck  

Answer 15

Better be careful....you're making too much sense!  LOL  

Answer 16

Seriously? Bush is a moron who has screwed our economy and waged a bogus war. He has the blood of the innocent on his hands. He is the worst president in the history of America...that is his legacy.

Obama is amazing, but that is beside the point. The majority of the population does not support bush and his policies.  

Answer 17

sorry about you being wrong in saying "no president has passed more democrat bills". The "democrats" have only had a slight house/senate majority since january of 07, so any bills passed before then were not "democrat bills". It must be noted that for bush's first six years, the right controlled both houses and bush vetoed not one bill. But he has exercised his veto power since 1/07 many times. Finally, bush has issued "signing statements" a record number of times for a president--and to say "all presidents issue signing statements", while true, misses the fact boy george has done it more than clinton, his daddy and regan COMBINED. On the surface i would say you are missing a lot and maybe a college course/night school might help you "understand" things.

Answer 18

Obama is only knocking Bush because he thinks that the majority of America hates him. I think the ones that hate him don't realize that Congress is responsible for the negative -- not Bush. Elect anybody but Obama!

Answer 19

or that bush has spent more on aides,cancer,seniors,the unemployed,increased chips,expanded welfare,increased aide to africa by 5 fold.what a idiot!

Answer 20

Huh?

Answer 21

You're missing the rules of politics. If you have to yell change and that your opponent is evil so that you can elected. Then you can have all the pay offs and perks of their job until the next person comes along and does the same thing to you.
