That was a big slip of the tongue on his part, but since the health care debate he has gone so far left with Harry and Nancy, I don't think it hurts him. The middle and right have already abandoned him and the left gets energized. Bush was a train wreck of a president, but everything he did that was vilified by the left, Obama is doing more of. Bush got us in $1-2 trillion of debt. Obama is $13 trillion and counting. Bush got us into 2 wars, but Obama is expanding the war in Afghanistan (Obama benefited from the successful surge to end Iraq), which I agree with but none-the-less an expansion of a Bush war. Bush threw $200 billion at the banks, Obama threw $787 billion which doesn't even count the free money they are being loaned and buying T bills with-making 2.5% on money they got for free, another "secret" bailout. So my question is, if Obama is better than Bush, how much debt makes a perfect president?
