wow O sucks so bad he is making bush look better........:(

[ItsTime]

lol down 23 points.

[amy31416]

Just as bad, for the most part, worse in some areas....it's a tough call...one that I can't make. I'm leaning toward Obama being worse though, based on HCR and his assassination list.

[ChaosControl]

Wow... I didn't expect it that close.

[oyarde]

Economically , several times worse .

[paulitics]

I think Obama is a little better at his job as telepromptor reader than Bush was.

[Stary Hickory]

2 years ago I would have said it was not possible...but O is definitely worse. He has done nothing differently on foreign policy he has increased the power of the police state(he can legally kill your ass now) and well he is financially raping this country.

[RedStripe]

Bush was way worse, I'm sorry. Obama is just Clinton 2.0. Bush was like fucking Pinochet 2.0.

When you were a little kid did you ever play the game "Would you rather . . "? I don't think it actually has that name, but it goes like this: one kid asks the other "Would you rather have a needle stuck in your eye or have to kiss Mrs. Kelloway (the hideous teacher)? You have to choose!!!" Then the second kid asks the first: "Would you rather have hot lava poured on you or eat dog poop?" Etc.

Easy , kiss the teacher and eat the poop .

Hardly. Last time I checked Clinton had a balanced budjet...Obama is exponentially raising the deficits.

Puppet or not, Clinton was at least a classical liberal and had fiscal sanity.

[nobody's_hero]

Bush's speeches were funnier.

[Fox McCloud]

I have a feeling the media would have treated Bush somewhat differently if he was a bit younger and far more charismatic.

That said, they're both pretty bad economically; with Bush, there's the wars, medicare part-D, the bailouts, etc.

On the good side, he did cut taxes quite a bit.

Obama...well, I need not list his downsides here...on the upside, he's ending, partially, the War in Iraq, but it's nothing to get excited about, IMHO...especially with 50,000 troops still there and increased amounts of troops in Afghanistan.

Economically, Clinton, with a Republican Congress, was way better.

Heh.

I sucked at the game when I was in third grade too.:(

[johnrocks]

Next CNN poll might as well be "Do you prefer constipation or diarrhea", I mean that would make about as much sense as choosing between these two idiots.

EXACTLY!

It's like being asked which would you rather have as your President.... STALIN or MUSSOLINI?

[silentshout]

Bush and Obama are about the same to me.

NO FUCKING WAY, was he a classical liberal. :eek: Clinton was a Marxist, if not an outright Communist.

Clinton had a balanced budget, because he riding on the coattails of the Reagan administration.

[RJB]

Poll which president puppet is better.

[RonPaulGetsIt]

big government fool A vs. big government fool B

[Marenco]

Marionette A vs Marionette B


Who's better?

[youngbuck]

Turd Sandwich v Giant Douche

[Kregisen]

'Better' implies 1 of them is decent. Re-name it "who was the lessest horrible-est?"

I might have to go with Bush....Obama expanded the patriot act, continued the wars (iraq still far from over), put Kagan on the supreme court, healthcare bill, assassination list, even bigger deficits than Bush.

I'm pretty sure Obama took someone's bet that no one could ever be worse than bush, and proved them wrong.

[klamath]

about the same

I'd say Bush was worse, for invading Iraq

Clinton was/is a murderous thug.

He was a classic OG, in the Tony Soprano sense.

His involvement in the drug and gun running out of Arkansas in the 80s was as deep as North's, Bush's or Casey's.

I really do feel like I'm getting an education in politics when I watch the Sopranos.

...because the Reagan administration had a balanced budget? ;)

Anyway, the real reason Clinton had a balanced budget was because we forgot to account for all the expenses that weren't technically part of the official budget. ;)

Seriously though: Clinton is definitely an establishment whore like the rest, and he did some awful things...but he's still the most (only) fiscally sane President I've ever lived to see. Honestly, that's pretty sad.

[libertarian4321]

I'd put Bush as worse, but he had 8 years for me to grow to despise him, and Obama has only had 2.

[nate895]

I nearly took a dump in my pants when I read the results. I mean, Presidents just don't get that unpopular that fast.

[fatjohn]

obama has biden,
bush had cheney,

I rest my case
