[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1025401, member: 9789"] bbsam, America was thrown into war under Bush. Our economy was going to completely fall apart. His immediate goal was to protect Americans at all costs (War President). The economy was second to that. Obama did not have to put any major new policies into affect because of the war. Pulling troops back is not being a war president. We were relatively safe. His main goal was to stop the economy from sliding a second time into a depression, (which IMO we had anyway). He decided to go after healthcare instead of working on balancing the budget and bringing back or establishing the climate for high paying jobs. In my opinion Bush's second term was not as a war president but he continued to try and make the economy flourish through spending and tax cuts. He was a strong believer that everyone should have the opportunity to own a home (Clinton thought this too). This is an implausible outcome which eventually failed when balloon payments and loan terms outpaced income growth and the bubble burst! [/QUOTE]
