Actually, I think about it because a few Bush bashers on this forum keep saying it, but it runs counter to all the facts and relies on the emotions of the person making the claim.
There are many historic and factual reasons for Obama's election that I could enumerate here, but let me go deeper for you.
God, according to His word, appoints all the leaders of the nations. Some are righteous (George W. Bush) and some are not (Obama). But God appoints them and uses them for His Glory, regardless. George W. Bush chose to be obedient to God's call and asked God daily for wisdom, and though he didn't do everything according to my political wishes, he did what he thought was right, in prayer, and he did it honorably.
So in your blaming Bush for Obama you are assigning far too much power to a human being, and denying the Sovereignty of God.
Only one more comment on your post. I've got to laugh at your ignorance in bringing up "Mission Accomplished." You really do rely on the MSM for your Bush bashing info, don't you? That sign was for the troops of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln who were being congratulated by their Commander in Chief for the FACT that they accomplished their mission bravely and quickly. Shame on you for not recognizing that they did what they were commanded to do and did it honorably. Shame on you for not realizing that they were overwhelmed with thanksgiving when their CinC came out to thank them for what they had done.
You can esteem or not esteem George W. and Jeb Bush, but you can't change the fact that they are both admirable men who served their country with honor and integrity.
LOL! That's a good one, W-fan, really! And you show a whole lot of naive gullibility for believing it, perfesser, because it was a political stunt, pure and simple!
I know this because of two important facts:
1. There is not one other recorded instance of a president in American history putting on a military uniform (in Bush's case, a Navy flight) suit and going to visit the troops. Check out the photos of Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan...even "Heckuva Job's" old man, "Read My Lips" and you won't find one photograph of a president out of a business suit.
2. The second reason I know it was a stunt is because I happen to have met a Sailor (now a retired aviation boatswainsmate CPO) who was on the Lincoln at the time. He told me Bush could have easily helicoptered out to the aircraft carrier as other presidents have in the past in meeting the crews of incoming naval surface combatants. But he wanted to come in making the "trap" and getting the photo op as if he'd been there, right in the middle of "Shock and Awe" air campaign as a combat pilot, giving it to the Iraqis who "disruspected mah daddy!"
Now, look, I told you I voted for both "Read My Lips" (even though he somehow was content to pull a stalemate out of an overwhelming victory against Saddam during Gulf War I) AND his uninspiring, incompetent son who has cause this nation I love much of my (and yours) future great-children's TARP debt. Still, I could almost forgive him of the mistakes he made; save one: THE ELECTION OF HUSSEIN!
