Which is a load of crap in regards to the comparison between Obama and Bush.
During Bush's first year, there was a major terrorist attack on American soil. Any push to worry about 'domestic' stuff went out the window, and his 8 years in office were largely based on foreign policy stuff.
During Obama's first year, he is dealing solely with domestic stuff. As a result, all the foreign policy stuff has been largely to the background. Sure there is Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, China, Russia and North Korea to deal with, but the American people don't care. They want the economy fixed.
So how can you even BEGIN to compare two Presidents that are basically going the opposite direction in regards to what is the most important thing to deal with?
If you want to compare Obama to someone, compare him to a President that was in office that last time the economy fell. Like Carter, or Reagan. Or FDR.
Not Bush.
