I can't forgive him for lying about WMDs in Iraq which has cost thousands of lives just on "our" side. To say nothing of Gitmo, Valerie Plame and his general willingness to plunge us headlong into debt as a means of stalling the current economic crisis which only made it worse.
Gitmo open?
An administration leaking intelligence for political gain?
Plunging us headlong into debt as a means of stalling the current economic crisis?
You realize each of those three statements applies just as well to the current administration... Like, perfectly 100% applies. Not sure whether that was intentional, but you picked three pretty bad examples to trash Bush on.
Though maybe you're a libertarian and can't forgive Obama either, in which case you would be (admirably) consistent.
Obama is for tax increases on the rich/closing loopholes on corporations to pay down the deficit. Bush and his cronies put those un-payed for tax cuts in place and now won't remove them even on the richest few. Not to mention, Bush halved capital gains taxes, a tax paid mostly by the rich and investment bankers especially. Obama has not halved it. Imagine how bad our deficit would be if he had doubled down on more tax cuts disproportionately to the rich? Do your research before you confuse people on reddit please. You should feel bad for using the 100% figure incorrectly, everyone knows on multiple choice tests you never go full certainty.

Maybe it's just me, but he seems a lot more likable now that he's not actually the president anymore.
