But what is a voter to do when the most qualified refuse to even seek the nomination? When the two major parties give us a choice between dumb and dumber.
I never get tired of conservatives trying to pretend that George W. Bush never existed.
Then don't vote.
If the turnout gets low enough then better candidates will feel empowered to try.
Now, what's the point?
I would never vote for someone whom I did not think would do a good job...that would be ridiculous, imo.
Also, if someone knowingly votes for a crap candidate, then they have no business whining when that candidate performs like crap when elected.
It is still the voter's fault that Obama and G.W. Bush suck/sucked as POTUS...especially those that re-elected these two jokes.
Spoken like someone who believes what they are told and ignores the actual results. Name for me one, JUST ONE economic number that Obama has that has been better than Bush? Bush won the Iraq War and Obama lost the peace, We had the Afghanistan War won but again Obama is losing the peace. What exactly is it going to take for you and others to realize what a disaster Obama is? Do you pay any attention at all to what is really going on in this country(economic results) or foreign policy? This is really sad, such poor leadership.
Your post was too simple minded ... in essence.
By his actions on energy, as one example, he affected our economic growth negatively and not as economically dominant ... and don't get me started on foreign policy.
And given that he's known for apologizing to the world for our strength before he came along, it's not surprising the UN would recognize him for that.
The funny thing about about your reply is that it insinuates that I think Obama is a decent president. I don't, he's sorely lacking one like the president before him.
On energy, as one example, the U.S. is in a better position than when Obama was inaugurated.

The results show that Obama couldn't hold Bush's jockstrap. Bush was much maligned by people who don't have a clue as to what he actually did and what he was prevented from doing. He is judged by his 2008 numbers with a Democrat Controlled Congress. I defy you to research the numbers prior to 2008 and then tell me how bad he was?
You hold Obama solely responsible for everything that's happened during his time in office, but give Bush a pass because he had a Democratic congress. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
That is what any low information voter would believe.
Your personal attack is duly noted.
Why would that be a personal attack, are you a low information voter?
"Low information voter" is an arrogant insult used to deride those who disagree with you.

Lol !
Low information strikes again !
No actually it was the LA Times that FIRST called Obama a " Magic Negro ".
In March 2007.
Rush just parodied the article.

Then, Fenton and bubbabgone are contradicting each other. bubbabgone clearly said 'Obama negatively effected economic growth' due to unknown policies in energy while Fenton claims Obama has NOTHING to do with new Oil and Gas exploration. The results (facts) are that oil and gas production are up and natural gas prices are down -- which contradicts bubbabgone's claim that Obama policies on energy are negatively effecting the economy.Lol !
Are you allergic to reality ? Honesty ?
Or do you think everyone is as gullible as the average Obama supporter ? That they would beleive your nonsense ?
You're seriously trying to give Obama credit for new oil exploration on PRIVATE LANDS ?
I mean forget the fact that every year in his bugdet proposals Obama has sought to increase taxes on domestic Oil, Gas and Coal production.
The permitting delays for Oil and Gas exploration under Obama have doubled to almost 350 days.
He's gone on to attack Coal and do everything in his power to shut down fracking through EPA mandates.
The State offering the most permits for Oil and Natural gas exploration ?
Texas.
Obama has NOTHING to do with new Oil and Gas exploration.
What you would have us do is not buy into the facts of the Bush presidency.The trick is to NOT buy wholesale into the lefts definition of the Bush Presidency.

Bush's first tax-cut arrived in the middle of a recession, but that was an accident. It was devised in 1999, when the economy was booming, to defend Bush in the primaries against the right-wing and Steve Forbes. During the 2000 campaign, Bush sold it as a way of returning budget surpluses to the people, with not a hint that it had something to do with fighting recession. The recession story was an after-the-fact reinvention. Weee, tax-cuts are the medicine for all ailments.
While conservatives today are obsessive compulsive about deficits and debt under Obama, the two biggest policy changes responsible for the swing into deficit were the big tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, and the war of choice in Iraq -- neither of which was necessary.
While complaining about costs associated with Obamacare, Republicans were just fine the budget-busting was Medicare Part D, whose plan was needlessly expensive, not because that’s the way the public wanted it that way -- it could easily have been simply an addition to traditional Medicare -- but to please the drug lobby and the anti-government ideologues.
While Republicans now act if they are firm constitutionalists, they had no problem with Bush tapping American's phones without court orders; locking up Americans accused of terrorism -- without charges or access to a lawyer, as required by the Constitution.
Of course, the biggest failure of Bush was his preemptive invasion of Iraq, a war that needed no preempting. Much of the destabilizing of today's Middle East is due to this invasion.
That isn't the "left's" definition. That's what happened

"The electricity price index soared to a new high in January 2014 with the largest month-to-month increase in almost four years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Meanwhile, data from the Energy Information Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Energy, indicates that electricity production in the United States has declined since 2007, when it hit its all-time peak.
The U.S. is producing less electricity than it did seven years ago for a population that has added more than 14 million people."

That's one promise he kept.
He always keeps the wrong promises, have you noticed that?
Low information is people who listen to Limbaugh, or who think the last five Republican presidents were anything but god awful.
