Actually, the Iraq War was over when Obama took office. Although, for some reason, he can't bring himself to admit speak the word "Iraq War" and as a result, it just languishes. GWB would undoubtedly have brought it to a close by now. Which absolves him for starting an ill conceived and badly executed war? What mitigating factor does your puerile little mind imagine of that? Yet, you cannot point to one thing GWB did or didn't do that 'caused' the failure. More importantly, Bush's swift action in getting TARP enacted saved the economy. Look...get through your thick skull...when bush took office the annual budget was nearly balanced...when he left, the first year of obama's tenure the economy and therefore tax revenue were in free fall, the debt was doubled and the annual deficit was 1.2T...all on bush's budgetary watch... Now I know you want to blame obama for that, but the facts are not on your side. The statement below is nothing but cowardly denial. Al Like the Iraq War, under Obama, the economy has languished -- obviously, due to the massive spending Obama launched into one month after taking office.
