Obama care

[DeistPaladin]

That was then. This is now.

Firstly, you were the one who invoked the word "better". "Better" implies that we compare Obama's economy to Bush's economy. Sorry if reminding you about what a clusterfuck the Republican policies turned out to be hit a sore spot but if I seem to be dwelling on the past, it's only because you brought it up.

Second, considering how badly Bush bulldozed the economic house, that does impact how things are now.

Why can't you liberals take responsibility and admit to your own failed policies?

When have we liberals ever even had the chance to get anywhere close to the levers of power never mind implemented any policies?

You think Obama is a liberal? You think "Obamacare" is anything liberals would celebrate (as opposed to Medicare-for-all)? Please. He's a centrist president on the rare occasions that he even stands up for anything at all.

Tell you what, A-Theist, I want 8 years to run the same test in America that we ran for conservatives before you can boast about our "failures".

I want to be president for 8 years. I want conservatives to roll over and cave in to me the same way Democrats did under Bush. I want any conservative who even expresses any criticism of me to be called a "traitor" and "anti-American" the same way liberals were treated under Bush. I want to get everything I ask for handed to me on a platter. I want "compromise" and "bipartisanship" to mean "I get everything I want and you can make non-binding resolutions or whatever to express that you're not happy". Then when the 8 years are over, only then can you talk about failure of liberal policies. ...and then we'll tell you to stop obsessing over the past.
