Fair Debate #1: What POTUS was worse, W Bush or Obama

W Bush

Side Score: 27
VS.

Obama

Side Score: 31
4 points

He started 2 wars without having money to pay for them. He presided over terrible recessions. He abandoned his foreign policy that he ran on initially to become president so badly that he could debate himself.

Without a doubt, Bush has left this country in a mess, that it will take decades, to turn it around.

Billary is going to have to clean up another Bush's mess.

Obama inherited the problem and was not the cause.

This guy. I have my disagreements with Obama, but I think Bush is worse.

Noticed a lot of people citing Obama's indecisiveness as an undesired trait in a leader. I would argue the opposite. It was Bush's (and Congress's) decisiveness that lead to the AUMF and the War in Afghanistan (War in Iraq is too obvious; how many people actually understand reasons for the War in Afghanistan?)

Side: W Bush

What are you talking about. I'm totally the worst president. ;)

Side: W Bush

President Obama is wonderful! President Bush was the complete opposite. The recession occurred under his watch as well as the current wars.

Obama's foreign policy has caused our enemies to ignore us. (Russia, Iran, North Korea). Additionally he has caused or allies to fear. The Ukraine, Israel, Saudi Arabia.

By contrast GWB did not.

Obama's domestic policies have racked up over 18trillion in debt. Expanded the suffering of small business owners with the ACA, and an ever growing book of regulations. Today Americans are facing a 10%-30% rise in healthcare costs, directly caused by the ACA.

By contrast GWB did not.

GWB made many mistakes, as all presidents have done. IMO they do not rank as high or carry the impact of Obama's sometimes deliberate actions have done.

Obama's domestic policies have racked up over 18trillion in debt.

So you are claiming that Obama's policies alone have racked up the entire United States debt?

Come on DaveR, that is incredibly dishonest.

Today Americans are facing a 10%-30% rise in healthcare costs, directly caused by the ACA.

Citation needed.

Obama has proven himself far worse in his policies, actions, and how he handles himself as President. The world and America itself has never been in as much turmoil and internal strife than it is now. We're destroying ourselves so our enemies need not worry.

And how has he "proven himself far worse" specifically?

How are we in more turmoil now than we were following 9/11?

His actions, policies, words, and and how he handles himself. He's divided the nation. We're in more conflict than ever. The scandals from the administration are out of control and they never see any resolution. It just goes on and on and on. I remember showing up to vote for a President...not a King.

Obama's ''wishy washy', indecisive form of government has greatly diminished America's international status. He has done well to keep the U.S, out of expensive and bloody foreign wars, but he has failed to even state his opinion on some of the most blatant cases of open aggression. Most despots and terrorist groups around the world have become emboldened in the knowledge that they have nothing to fear from an Obama led America. The great nation of the United States of America deserves a great president, but President Obama falls dramaticallt short of meeting that criteria.

That was easy. Bush had his shortcomings, but Obama isn't even capable of doing destructive deeds. He is the epitome of ineptitude.

Side: Obama

If we're judging by their dancing skills I'd have to vote Bush... Other than that it's a no-brainer that Obama has been the worst President ever.
