Obama, his cabinet, and Americans will fix the country. Bush was a disaster on every single front and is the worst President in the history of the United States. We knew before he was elected that he was a failure on most fronts, and he had a shady ass background. None of which Obama has.
You're so blinded by your faith in Uncle Barry's deification. That you fail to take into account his past shady dealings.

Ignoring key facts, MSNBC's Witt agreed with Freddoso that Obama's opponents in 1996 race were disqualified on a "technicality"
Summary: During an interview with David Freddoso, MSNBC's Alex Witt baselessly adopted a word Freddoso used to describe how Sen. Barack Obama challenged his opponents' qualifications for appearing on the ballot of the 1996 Illinois state Senate Democratic primary for the 13th district, saying that Obama's opponents were disqualified on a "technicality." In fact, one of Obama's opponents in that 1996 race reportedly admitted that he "now suspects" some of the signatures his campaign collected were forged, while another reportedly had some of her signatures disqualified because they were from voters who lived outside the 13th district -- facts Witt did not raise during the interview.

Barack Obama wants to provide healthcare for all, except babies that survive late-term abortions.
That’s a pretty startling position to me. I figured this quote in the healthcare section of his Web site was sincere:
“We now face an opportunity — and an obligation — to turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday’s health care debates… My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is the amount of money you will spend on premiums. That will be less. If you are one of the 45 million Americans who don’t have health insurance, you will have it after this plan becomes law. No one will be turned away because of a preexisting condition or illness.”
— Barack Obama, Speech in Iowa City, IA, May 29, 2007
But that perspective is inconsistent with a vote by Obama in 2002. When he was an Illinois legislator, Obama voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, which would have protected babies that survived late-term abortions.
There was a similar federal law in 2002, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which was signed by President Bush.
There were only 15 members of the U.S. House who opposed it, and it passed the Senate unanimously on a voice vote.
In the case of both bills, the purpose was to provide equal treatment for babies who survived premature inducement for the purpose of abortion, and the bills wanted babies who were born prematurely to be given live-saving medical attention.
Barack Obama was against this? Note, this is not abortion. It’s a matter where the babies survive.
Even NARAL, a pro-choice organization, didn’t oppose it.
Obama voted against this bill in the Illinois senate and killed it in committee. The Induced Infant Liability Act came up two times in the Judiciary Committee on which he served.
He voted “present” the first time and “no” the second time.
Is Obama so radical that he supports infanticide?

Now really skycrasher is our new president that clean? Not really he's like all other politicians dirty as fuck but talks a better game. So give it a rest about your blind loyalty. I'm waiting to see how he does as president and withholding any judgment until he's in office. Bush did a bunch of things I didn't care for like more spending and the Patriot Act. Bush was a terrible communicator and his over all message was not received.
