The only people who think Obama is the "natural result" of Bush are either don't understand politics, prefer their own little political fantasy-land, or are projecting their dislike of Bush's policies onto "justifying" Obama's existence.

So people dislike the notion of "compassionate conservatism." Not a problem. If you don't want to see it return, say why and others may listen. If you run around blaming it for Obama, sunspots, and ATM fees then you will get tuned out.

Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” gave us open borders. That was bad enough. But it also gave us a larger federal deficit. And worse, it also gave us “nation-building” in Iraq and Afganistan. All are expensive failures.

Carter’s policies made the election of Reagan easier. Bush’s policies made the election of Obama easier. Not inevitable, just easier.

In 2008, when Bush was still president, the Detroit Lions went 0 - 16, the worst record in NFL history.

In 2009 while still reeling from the Bush years, Obama was able to lift the Lions to a 2 - 14 record.

Still on a roll, in 2010, Obama was able to inspire the Lions to an even better year where they went 6 - 10.

Finally, for the first time since 2000 (when Clinton was president), the Lions were over .500 when the mesiah Obama miraculously lifted the Lions to a 10 - 6 record and a first playoff appearance since 1999 under Clinton.

And it should also be mentioned that there was not one single year that the lions ever had an above .500 season while President Reagan was in office.........

There you have it, Obama and the democraps are good for the Lions......
