12. When is Obama going to apologize for allowing those airliners to crash into the World Trade Center?

Sun May 18, 2014, 09:34 PM

May 2014

And Obama refused to do anything about the mortgage bubble that many economists warned about. Then when it blew up and triggered the worst recession since the Great Depression, did Obama man up and take responsibility for that? Why, no. Oh, and Hurricane Katrina! Did Obama even try to save New Orleans? At least George W. Bush kept us safe from terrorist attacks, economic crises, and even catastrophic weather. If only Obama were more like George W. Bush, what a world it would be!

Either way, they were at fault -- but less so than Shrub and the gang Jim Lane May 2014 #25

Not as bad? They voted for, and in Hillary's case, supported Bush's wars. Tierra_y_Libertad May 2014 #27
