slobbering slavish Bushbot. You get a D- for insults. Use some imagination...you know, like calling me a whig. (That is my favorite so far!)

Clinton recession: You're not telling me anything I don't already know. That doesn't excuse huge budget increases during his term. And as for Dem control? Bush had in his hand a rare opportunity other Republican Presidents would cream their pants over. What do Dems do when they get these opportunities? We're seeing it now. What did Bush do? Go back and read what Thatcher said in my previous post.
Table reduced for brevity sake.

She [Michelle Malkin] is just angry and self-absorbed and clearly desperate for attention.
Hey, that's the story of your life. Sounds like you're projecting again.
Say there Professor, what happened to your GWB Tribute Page?

I think you’re missing the part about the Dems controlling the Senate for the first two years, and GWB never having a conservative majority in the Senate, ever.
By the way, the Dems had a supermajority and couldn’t get health care through. (Miraculously!)
Nice chart though.

That's a pretty wimpy personal attack for you, mr posse man.
Usually you're far more malicious and deceitful than this. Off your game, are you?

btw, since I am a person filled with joy and happy to from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, I'm going to watch the lovely snow fall for a while and then spend a sweet night in peaceful slumber with my wonderful husband.
You may feel free to lose your temper now, mr posse man. I shall not be here to watch you lose control again.
I've seen you do that enough for a million lifetimes. It's not pretty.
Good night. :)

A pox on the lot of you!LOL. You understand that your list of complaints is dwarfed by the conservative accomplishments by Bush while in office, right?
To: sickoflibs; ohioWfan
Actually, I am going to chide sickoflibs, for not knowing better than to find himself in a spitting match with someone whose homepage declares:
I'm an adjunct professor, who believes that George W. Bush is God's appointed man with the strength of character and conviction to begin bringing this great country out of its moral decline.
It's impossible to have any kind of productive debate with a zealot.

I wrote those words in 2001 and still know them to be true today. Truth doesn't change with the whims of emotion, and the changing political whims.
Thanks for allowing me to point that out.
And good night to you too, whoever you are.

I'm not missing anything. It's right there on the chart. I didn't say he had a Senate majority in the first two years. I merely presented the chart which shows he had an unprecedented period where he could have accomplished a great deal and he did nothing to shrink the fed.
And I guess your "qualifying" majority in the Senate, ever by saying "conservative majority" as opposed to Republican majority - which he DID have from 2003-2007.

Here’s a breakdown of GWB’s discretionary spending 2001-2004. (It’s a lib center but their numbers are correct).
http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=1552
That GWB was a big spender is not correct, and repeating it just helps Obama.
Thats it for me tonight.
Good evening.

You stated in your post #228 that Michelle Malkin was "just angry and self-absorbed and clearly desperate for attention."
What is your factual basis for that assertion?

It's ok S.o.L., when dealing with weak minded, slavish BushBots, it's not unusual to experience a weak moment.
