Your just confirming your hypocrisy. I will acknowledge that Bush had a huge ranch that he could vacation on and that it may have saved some money that way. Than again he started a war with faulty intelligence that made any of that savings sadly laughable especially considering all the troops that died under his failed leadership.
That's a clusterfuck of lies you just posted, M E M.
Bush "started a war" after following Constitutional procedure and getting authorization from the Senate, that virtually every Democrat signed off on, including Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. The only reason Obama didn't authorize the war was because he wasn't a Senator until 2 years later.
And you make my point for me, that Bush didn't go on expensive vacations on the taxpayers' tab, he governed frequently from his ranch in Texas, where he was more comfortable than the White House.
As I pointed out
also previously, Bush didn't use "faulty intelligence", he went to war WITH DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE'S APPROVAL with the best available intelligence at the time.
EVERY nation that was doing intelligence on Saddam's Iraq thought he had nuclear weapons. SADDAM'S OWN GENERALS thought Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons, and just believed the WMD's were entrusted to another general than themselves.
And as I established with weapons inspector David Kay's testimony before Congress, while Iraq did not have WMD's on the field ready to launch, they DID have a WMD program developed, and ready to go into production if the U.S. had not invaded and prevented it.
WMD found?!? topic
Iraq moves weapons to Syria? topic
Contrary to lack of media coverage, WMD's found in Iraq topic
You follow the Moscow Central Committee's tactic of repeating the lie over and over, with such repetition that a lie becomes "fact" just by virtue of the prevalence of how often it is repeated.
But it is a lie, just the same.
Members and front organizations must continually embarass, discredit and degrade out critics. When obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist, or Nazi or anti-Semitic... The association will, after enough repetition, become "fact in the public mind.
--Moscow Central Committee, 1943
And Obama's negligence is what is needlessly getting people killed, in Iraq, In Afghanistan, and in Benghazi, in Obama's unprecedented weakness that invites enemy attack with no retribution, and his announcement of premature withdrawal. Even at his lowest in approval, Bush remained committed to our troops, and to the success of their mission.
Absolutely not the same with Obama.If Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy had done the same in post-1945 Europe, as Obama has done in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Russians would have over-run the European continent! It is a joke that we are withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan, but still have troops in Germany, Japan, South Korea, Bosnia and Kosovo, just to name a few.
