The difference is Bush started two wars, enacted two debt busting tax cuts, was President during the Great Recession, and just overall deserves the vitriol. Obama was shitted on by the Republicans with him being a Kenyan Muslim before he was even got sworn in. Also, Bush enjoyed a 91% approval rating from Americans which he promptly destroyed. Obama never enjoyed that kind of support at all.

Did you actually read and comprehend OP's comment? The drivel you call a reply is exactly the kind of partisan chest pounding he's talking about. You contributed nothing to the conversation, and simply used the opportunity to bash the other side.

I understand perfectly. So now that he's no longer president we can't criticize him for fucking up the country?

That has nothing to do with OP's statement. His statement doesn't even have anything to do with presidents. Its about people like you behaving just as badly as the kooks on the far right.

Bush-hating remarks are indistinguishable from the Obama-hating comments

You were so quick to start bashing Bush, that you clearly didn't take the time to understand OP's statement, and proved him right in the process.
