  1. 1) The tax cuts. Hindsight 20/20 these were pretty stupid due to the price of the wars, but when a Republican is handed a budget surplus he lowers taxes. He'd be a bad president NOT to have passed those 2 pieces of legislation. 2) He kept the country safe. His methods were questionable but the results are fairly clear.
  2. Bush did a lot of s*** wrong and was a bad president, dont get me wrong. But to call him worse than Reagan or Carter is a little overboard.
  3. Money was made so 'cheap' because there were so many fears after 9/11 that the attacks would cripple us. Hence you get all these homes where people pour all their equity when they had no business having those homes to begin with. I'm definitely not the first person to say this. We were attacked and we responded with military action against those we deemed responsible. The Bush Administration probably got it wrong on the responsibility part and their biggest justification for Iraq turned out to be a lie, but not reacting with any public display of military force would've looked very week.
  4. Yeah but the effects of 9/11 (credit crisis, the wars, domestic liberties) were more than enough to overwhelm patriotism-induced ratings.
  5. +1 for HW again. Going with international sentiment and trying to scale back the pace of a growing US empire.
  6. Dubya wasn't a very good president, but he was probably dealt the worst deck of anyone in a long time. He also had a base that demanded he cradle the balls of Reagan's policies... not good.
  7. How about that time he pulled out of Iraq because the initial mission had been accomplished and occupation of the country would've been difficult/impossible?
  8. 1. Clinton 2. HW 3. Dubya 4. Carter 5. Reagan It's pretty hard to determine Obama at this point.
  9. That and its a pretty f***ing awesome name to have.
  10. There is one August <my last name>. Shocker. I go by Gus and there's only one of those too. Interesting that there are more August's than Gus'.
  11. We'll see how Knox does now that teams are going to acknowledge him a lot more.
  12. As far as cable news goes CNN is probably the best. That doesn't say much, but yeah.
  13. Made it to the Daily Show! Instant-classic.
  14. Good luck finding them, the MLB are nazi's about that s***.
  15. It's a little irresponsible to link Michelle Malkin even in the Republican thread.
  16. He played Spit on a Stranger at P4k a couple years ago. Dreammmmyyyyyy.
  17. Holy s*** I thought it was never going to happen. Well... come the midwest, Steve.
  18. No Alpha Dog, I'm not the only one who mentions race. I'm just trying to show off a bit of a double standard being displayed by people who in an effort to destroy anything Obama is trying to do will call him racist as often as possible. Imagine if Taylor Swift had interrupted Kanye West at the VMA's and Obama called her a jackass? This whole situation would've been a lot less innocent. I dont think you're actually racist Alpha Dog, but right now it's the politically expedient thing to do. So if it means playing the oppressed majority card to further entrench yourself then so be it.
