Obama 16 Months

non-biased poll, at least I hope.

Bush had 9/11 which was pretty damn huge. So, it's really hard to compare to that. But if you look at the amount of issues that need to be addressed in such a short amount of time, he's had a lot on his plate.

The same because, lets face it, the Bush Administration did not find a solution to many of the issues that popped up then.

[jasonxctf]

to me, it just seems like a lot. not including issues of his choosing

 

- Iraq

- Afghanistan

- Oil Spill

- Huge Recession/Financial Nightmare

- Unemployment issues

- David Souters SCOTUS Retirement

- John Stevens SCOTUS Retirement

- Detroit Attack Attempt

- NYC Attack Attempt

with Bush, i mean, probably the same - although probably more.

 

Then Clinton - he's had more.

 

George HW - more.

 

Before that...couldn't tell ya. Reagan had the economy and the cold war, so i don't know.

I voted more...but I think he's had an interesting combination of small and large problems. That's the rub. Like someone said, 9/11 was HUGE...so would that trump some of the SCOTUS retirements and the oil spill? I don't know the answer to that. But, I do think all of the "he wasn't born here" and "he's a muslim" talk should be included, as well. Just like Dubya's alleged cocaine use and heavy drinking were issues in his presidency at the beginning.

I mean, i guess entering into 2 wars as a result of 9/11 is a bit more than dealing with the initial 9/11. I mean, it's obviously more, but it's stuff that was applicable to Bush but he just punted on.
