typical libtardiot response when cornered about Obamas dysmal record. Hide behind Bush.
BTW, have you found out why we are up to the top 2% instead of the top 1% like Obama campaigned on?
Obama STILL setting records as POTUS

Lucky you....you qualify for an important history lesson. Pay attention....take notes.
I guess you can tell me the exact that the warfare with Iraq ended then.....I'll wait.

The people of Serbia, Kosovo, the Sudan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are not the only or most obvious victims of Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. The day before the House impeachment vote, Clinton bombed Iraq, delaying the impeachment vote. He continued the bombing throughout all the days of the impeachment vote. Only an hour or two after the House impeachment vote ended, Clinton ended the bombing, saying, "We have achieved our objectives." Of course, because the objective was to delay and distract from the impeachment vote! In all other respects, the bombing hurt U.S. and international interests.
Clinton gave several excuses for bombing Iraq on the eve of the impeachment vote, especially the (bogus, but unquestioned) claim that Iraq had stopped cooperating with UNSCOM inspectors. In reality, Iraq’s cooperation with UNSCOM inspectors had actually been increasing, despite U.S. attempts to provoke a confrontation. However, knowing the impeachment schedule, Clinton had directed UNSCOM chief Richard Butler to write a report that Iraq was not cooperating. Even Scott Ritter, the former chief UNSCOM weapons inspector who quit because he thought the weapons inspectors were not tough enough, said that the White House had been on the phone with UNSCOM "shaping" the report to make sure it would justify bombing Iraq during the impeachment trial.
Clinton actually used the Muslim holy month of Ramadan as an excuse for the timing of the bombing. This may have fooled the American media, but didn't fool Muslims, as Clinton continued the bombing even after Ramadan had started (but halted the bombing as soon as the impeachment vote ended).
Sure, Clinton said he had unanimous agreement from his national security advisers to bomb Iraq. So what? No matter what day he asked his national security advisers, they would always agree to bomb Iraq, so why ask on that particular day, a day before the impeachment vote?
Fact: the UNSCOM inspectors were not kicked out of Iraq in December 1998 by Saddam -- President Clinton had UNSCOM chief Richard Butler pull out the UN inspectors so he could bomb. United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was understandably angry that Clinton ordered out not just the U.S. inspectors, but all United Nations inspectors (which he had no authority to do).
Fact: ever since Bill Clinton ordered the UNSCOM inspectors out of Iraq so he could bomb (the day before the impeachment vote), there have been no UN weapons inspectors in Iraq. So when Clinton said (as soon as the impeachment vote ended), "We have achieved our objectives," was one of those objectives to permanently remove weapons inspectors from Iraq?
Fact: days before the UNSCOM report came out, Clinton was in Israel, already telling Prime Minister Netanyahu that he was expecting a negative UNSCOM report, and that he would soon be bombing Iraq. Clinton knew the contents ahead of time because he was "shaping" that report.
Fact: because of Clinton's December 1998 bombing, Iraq began challenging the U.S. and British "no-fly zones," which they had not been doing before. The risk to U.S. pilots is negligible (no U.S. plane has ever been hit), but it has given the U.S. and Britain an excuse for nearly daily bombing of Iraq (not just radar sites, but cities, towns, shepherd's camps, etc.). Since December 1998, this illegal bombing has killed about two hundred Iraqis, including shepherds with their flocks, families in their houses, and small children, and injured many more. It helps to put faces on the victims. I saw a photo of a cute, smiling little girl named Isra, from the Abu-Khasib neighborhood of Basra, who lost her right arm when a U.S. IGM-130 missile hit her neighborhood at 10:10 AM, January 25, 1999 (for a picture of her, see http://www.vitw.org/airwar.html). This ongoing bombing would not be happening except for Clinton’s attempt to distract from the impeachment vote.
Maybe Americans don't care about the hundreds of Iraqis Clinton killed during the impeachment trial bombings of Iraq, and the scores of Iraqi civilians (and sheep) killed during the almost daily bombings of Iraq in the two years since then. Most Americans, incredibly enough, don't even know we're still at war, that we've been bombing Iraq every other day for the last two years!

You seem unable to refute this fact: we were not at war with Iraq when Bush took office.
Deal with it. Bush started a war that took almost 10 years to finish.
Revere him for it, as I know you will.

Why are we now taxing the top 2% instead of the top 1%? Do you know?

American Worker
They are up under Obama, why not address that?
I think you have your percents confused. The 99% has to do with OWS, the 98% are a slightly larger group of greedy rich who will be paying more in taxes real soon.

So you aren't one of the 2%?
You are one of the poor down trodden 98%?
Tell me, what makes them greedy? Because they want to keep that which they earned?
Thats because its factually incorrect.....Clinton was bombing and killing Iraqis in 1998 and until he left office in the beginning of 2001, thats waging war.....though there was never a declaration of war under Bush 1, Clinton or Bush 2.....reality defines war..............Just as in Korea and Vietnam there was no formal declarations of war, its idiotic
to claim we weren't at war then......Korea, Vietnam, Iraq....all relatively the same.....
Boots on the ground is not a requirement of warfare or to wage war....
thats is just the undeniable truth of the matter....
It may not be unlimited war with carpet bombing or atomic weapons or ground troops, but thats irrelevant.....the methods we used were our choice....
Bush escalated the war with the use of troops and invasion, the rest of the weapons remained the same.....
that portion of the war was OVER in about 3 weeks....Iraq was military beaten, its organized troop force no longer was a viable threat....
the occupation lasted another 7 years, thats true....and it was bungled for the most part....only because we refused to slaughter the remaining opposition....
Thats history.....
