I didn't vote for him either time, but I'm not an unhinged hater about President Bush. Please explain the specific policies that support your contention. And describe how his presidency was so much worse than others. My guess is you'll just obsfucate and deflect, however, becuase it's what you feel and not what you think.
OK let's go down the list of things that I know off the top of my head:
The Patriot Act allows a person to be arrested without a warrant and held for as long as the Gov't wants. This Nullifies the 4th amendment.
As does the FISA bill which allows ALL of our phones to be wiretapped WITHOUT a warrant.
Ignored the Geneva Convention and committed war crimes by TORTURING people who are in Guantanamo Bay. Since info garnered form torture cannot be used in a court of law, he left hundreds of prisoners in a place and they cannot be prosecuted.
He received a daily briefing titled
"Bin Laden determined to strike inside US" (and was told about Bin Laden from Clinton) MONTHS before it happened and did NOTHING.
Flew Bin Laden's family members OUT of the US on Sept 13th. A day when air traffic was COMPLETELY shut down and even his daddy couldn't fly
Removed troops from Afghanistan and sent them to a country that did nothing to us. This was all based on a LIE.
Don't even get me started about Iraq. My cousin was there. I can thank Obama that he is home now...
Put a HUGE mission accomplished banner and said that major combat operations were over... We were at war there for 8 YEARS after....
Had Osama Bin Laden CORNERED in the Mountains of Tora Bora. When his commanders on the ground asked for a squad to cut off his escape they were DENIED. Because of this Bin Laden escaped.... (let that one sink in)
Passed Medicare part D which was COMPLETELY unpaid for and not even in the budget. This singlehandedly created the doughnut hole.
Passed tax cuts for all Americans. I, as a middle classer get $300 measly dollars a year while millionaires get over $250K. These were also unpaid for and added TRILLIONS to our deficit.
Completely deregulated Wall Street. How did that one turn out? yeah...
At the time he went out of office we were losing 750K jobs per month and the market was trading UNDER 7000.
Put Samuel Alito on the SCOTUS.... HUGE
Appointed Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General. Gonzales oversaw VERY questionable US attorney dismissals and the NSA's warrantless wiretapping before eventually resigning in disgrace.
Started the Bank Bailouts with a 3 page piece of Legislation. If that wasn't a stick up what is?
"Under our proposal, the Federal government would put up to 700 Bil taxpayer dollars on the line" ~ George W. Bush
Refusing to let Katrina ruin his holiday. Hurricane Katrina hit towards the end of his long summer VACATION. His immediate response was not to view the damage personally, but at five miles high through the window of Air Force One on his way back to Washington. (SHAMEFUL...)
Religiously used a teleprompter (Obama gets smacked for using one) but could BARELY put 2 sentences together (OK I'm exaggerating but still).
"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test." ~ George W. Bush
Obama gets blamed for 6 Tril of debt under his watch. But the truth is, Bush's wars and Drug plan were NEVER on the books. Obama put them there so now it LOOKS like he has ran up 6 Tril when really it's more like 3.
Now this is just off the top of my head. If I sat and thought and did more research I could find MUCH MORE.
