I watched the entire speech...
It takes chutzpah to criticize President Obama after the ditch his brother left us in.

His base is meaningless.

(30,058 posts)I don't think Hillary has difficulty being tied to Obama. Guess Hillary will have to point out the condition Bill left the nation in and where Bush was leaving the crap on Obama. Yes we could talk about failures of W time, Iraq invaded without cause and the big deficit Obama had.

(16,286 posts)Bush: born to wealth, has not worked one day in his life...has had everything handed to him, is the epitome of white privilege and every single action taken by him as an adult has been to enrich himself regardless of the harm to others.
Obama: born poor, worked his ass off in school and as a community organizer. Achieved everything the legal and proper way, not the way rich pampered pukes do it. Has been easily one if the 5 best presidents of all time.
So, bush, if I was you, i would shut the fuck up.
Like Carlin said, we dont even capitalize your family name anymore, you dont deserve it.

(30,481 posts)Group who already don't like him. He is going after a group of very conservative and active voters. They love the red meat as we often do. It is how he plans on winning their primary. Compassionate conservative Bush will show up if he wins.
Most people haven't forgotten. It really was amazingly fucked up when Bush left office. People who never cared about government other than paying taxes all of the sudden cared and we're watching. Even those who supported the bailout were sickened by it. Multiple wars with little thought in direction or care. An economy in ruins. The list goes on.
Now here is Obama. While the economy hasn't been fundamentally changed, the broke system is night and day better than when Bush left office. The expansion of civil rights in the federal government, elsewhere, and a voice for positive change at the highest level of government that had been missing completely. Millions more Americans have health care, exchanges available in places, additional regulation on the industry; all saving Americans lives.
I truly think Americans overall haven't forgot where we were. We, as a whole, have done a good job of making sure that mans name will always be linked with those times. All of our candidates would be proud to be tied to Obama.
