@danolson68 You don't need to doctor videos of someone who can barely speak the English language. He's messes that up on his own. C student at best.

@jonnoble53 Hey how about you go complain about your own country and leave AMERICA alone.

[UGA3306]

Ok lets just straighten out this hating Bush business. He wasn't the best president, but he definitely wasn't the worst. Those who blame an entire economic crash on ONE person are completely ignorant of how the American economy works. You have to focus on what Congress did and what parties controlled them at which times. And you have to actually educate yourself on economics. Only stupid people play the blame game like children. So to all: Don't say things just to spite people. Use common sense.

bush was one of the best presidents. I live outside of the United States, in Canada. It's bad enough you people elected Reagan TWICE, then you elect Bush Sr once. Then Jr twice. IT's fucking insulting that you would even say he's one of the best. Jr singlehandedly destroyed your country, which sucks, but you all asked for it. But there are small countries on the other side of the planet that are desdtitude because of this asshole. WAKE UP! You have one of the weakest economies in the world,idiot

@springjo1 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. How can you even say that? He was a failure. his economic policies put us in this recession. Things were going great with Clinton in charge and then W Bush took over and screwed things up. He's the reason why a lot of countries hate us.
