He axed some of those retarded military boondoggles.

Bush would have never done that.

>>1310185
Called you out on a stupid comment about the bill, so yes.

>>1310195
You have me mistaken for >>1310163

Boondoggles you say, care to elaborate? I know he sent more troops in, much like Bush.

>>1310213
The F-22, for one.

There was some other shit about laser planes and other technologies that he axed, to the sound of much bitching from the GOP. Of course, they only got axed after the government had already sunk untold billions into their development with NOTHING OF VALUE TO SHOW FOR IT.

>>1310222
>Daughters aren't drunk bitches.

Lol

brb OSPREY VTOL Helicopter
You have Dick to thank for that quagmire

OP here, not gonna lie, all the shit he's done differently seems pretty trivial compared to the oodles and oodles of shit he's done exactly like Bush.

tbh, he started out much different than bush, but then came back around on foreign policy. he's been too busy with health care, the economy, the wars and now the spill to pay much attention to many domestic issues.

however, he's done a few things:

- his energy bill ($54 billion to alternative energy) is unlike anything anything bush would have done.

- he nominated sontamayor to the bench

- raised taxes on high income individuals, corporations, and raised capital gains tax

- legalized embryonic stem cell research

- made june "LGBT month"

>>1310237
Really, not starting a stupid war, and repairing Bush's economic baggage is trivial?

ohwow

>>1310237
You are correct sir for the following reasons you've presented -

(...)

>>1310248

To be fair, he's continuing said stupid war, when during the campaign (I voted for him) he said he'd bring the troops home.

And as for >repairing Bush's economic baggage is trivial? All I'm gonna say is 'lol wut?'

>>1310237

>>1310247
>LGBT month
Let's get busty teens?

Yeah but Obama pisses on the little guy just like Bush and won't let me walk into the white house with a gun, just like Bush. Face it, he is Bush. A black Bush.

>>1310264
He said he'd expand Afghanistan before he said he'd leave it.
He says a lot though, and nothing seems to happen.

repeating phrases is cruise control for lack of ability to write with emphasis.

>>1310264
Which stupid war are you talking about? Afghanistan or Iraq? He never said anything about Afghanistan.

>>1310289
well, yes, notable to many millions, mostly those who oppose it.

but relax bro... i mostly put it in there for comic relief.

>>1310248

actually, it's hard to really blame bush for the recession. his hand off approach to wall street may not have helped matters, but if there's one piece of legislation to hold slightly accountable, it's the repeal of glass-steagall under clinton in 1999, which ended the separation between investment and retail banks. but even that hadn't happened, the housing bubble and insane derivitives still would have.

as a rule, presidents don't have much to do with investments bubbles.

>>1310442
They do when they deregulate the industry

George Bush, "The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Barack Obama, "What he said!"

>>1310292
so true, such double talk. i also love how obamas line now is that he was down in Louisiana assessing the oil spill "a month ago". The disaster started 50-something days ago. what about the half-month he waited to take this crisis seriously?

>>1310498
that sounds like it could have been lifted straight from fox's comment section

>>1310465
>implying the SEC folded up shop

>>1310532

>>1310546
36 out of 3000+ people were busted for watching porn, not exactly a majority there.

>>1310555
>Implying that wasn't a semi-accurate analogy for them being asleep at the wheel. Deliberately asleep at the wheel.

Isn't he supposedly winding down the war in Iraq by reducing troop levels there?

>>1310562
yeah. I think OP would respond that Bush was doing the same thing.

However, Bush started the goddamn war.

>>1310546

you're just making shit up. serves me right to try to have a serious discussion on 4chan.

if you or anyone else can provide a cogent argument describing precisely how any presidential action taken or lack of oversight directly encouraged the recession, you must post ITT.

by lack of oversight, you must describe in detail what they clearly could have done but didn't. this does not include reading minds or seeing the future. clear, delineable mistakes only. no vague conjecture, personal intuition, or partisanship.

go, faggots.

>>1310559
>still doesn't mean industry was deregulated

hey guys, jus got here. why is it so quiet?

>>1310665
because you raped your mom when you were 10 then repressed it and were sent to live with a new family.

>>1310665

faggots are taking a crash course in economic trying to figure out market regulation. good luck to them. most people who talk about it don't know shit. for them it's just a political rallying word.
