While Dubya was Prez there was a financial panic AND stock market crash,



These are just things that happened while he was president. Saying he was responsible just because he was there is a joke. Coke is talking about things Obama actually intentionally did.

Quote:

not to mention an avoidable war during the occupation of Iraq, squandering an opportunity to stabilize Afghanistan before the Taleban and al--Qa'ida reorganized,



Here you've got valid things that are worth arguing, but I don't feel like it. Even Bush has admitted he mismanaged the first 3 years of the Iraq War. The 3 years before "The Surge".

Quote:

taking the Federal budget from surplus to endless deficits, etcetera.



The war has cost like an average $100 billion per year. With the trillion dollar deficits, that's not what pushed us over the edge. Those wars are expensive, but it's far from the main thing that turned us from "surplusses to deficits".

Health care costs through Medicare and Medicaid have pushed us over the edge. I posted a link here to a pie chart showing the percentages not long ago. When I'm not lazy, maybe I'll go find it for you. And, as Coke linked above, Obamacare has done nothing to lower health care costs.
