When comparing President Bush with President Obama, remember this:
"When Bush became president the world was largely at peace, the U.S. military was largely at rest,
oil was $23 a barrel, the economy was growing at more than 3 percent, $1 was worth something,
the debt was under $6 trillion and the government was running a surplus. The 9-11 attacks increased
the world's willingness to cooperate with us.
You (Obama), by contrast, will inherit wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, tired and stretched armed forces, a global struggle with terrorism, oil that has ranged as high as $150 a barrel, a weaker dollar, substantial anti-American sentiment, a deficit that could reach $1 trillion in your first year, a ballooning national debt of some $10 trillion and a global economic slowdown that will increase instability in numerous countries."
