Didn't Bush, Big Business,and the Right put America where we are?

And, now by delaying, obstructing, and doing absolutely NOTHING positive,aren't they the ENABLERs

which continue to hold America back??

Update:

THE RETURN So its like BUSH was the Captain of the TITANIC, set the course, set the SPEED, set the DIRECTION, HIT THE ICE-BURG, then left the ship, turned over captain-ship command to the second in command, and when the ship SANK, it was the second in commander's fault because he didn't save it !! IT WILL FOREVER BE BUSH'S FAULT, HIS LACK OF LEADERSHIP, ALLOWING BIG BUSINESS AND THE FINANCIERS TO CORRUPT THE ECONOMY BY THEIR ''GREED", BORROWING FOR TWO WARS UNFUNDED, AND IGNORING THE SOCIAL CATASTROPHE ;LOOMING OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE.

Update 2:

AMERICALIOUS Believe me, my education far exceeds yours, and I'l venture to say also your IQ !! The ONLY reason things are worse as YOU say is because of your beloved RIGHT and their OBSTRUCTIONISTS!! 10.5 Trillion Dollar Deficit the DAY OBAMA WAS SWORN TO OFFICE Depression right around the corner !! Economists in majority agree the course taken was the right one. Had Bush did HIS job, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN !! Fix the country, rebuild the infrastructure, make the rich and business pay its share, EXPEL the traitors who set up dummy bank account in foreign countries to EVADE American taxes, And deny them use of American Markets..We then will be fine.. And lastly RE-ELECT the ONLY person TRYING to resolve the BUSH LEGACY !!

Update 3:

JOHN HINKLE WRONG !!! You can not name ONE LOAN ANY BANK WAS EVER FORCED TO MAKE THAT THEY LOST MONEY !! That's right !! It was the banks who KNEW the loans could not be sustained by the borrowers, and THAT"S why they sold them to other mortgage companies, and bundled them also into mutual funds, and then the BANKS got insurance giant '''AIG" to protect the garbage loans and mutual funds with INSURANCE guaranteeing the investment.. When the bubble broke, the entire housing market crumbled, and took with it the stock market and all those who cried ''TOO BIG TO FAIL""! As they RAN to the govt. ''who should get out of the way of business,,,except when it gets into trouble !! GET IT NOW ???

Update 4:

JOHN HINKLE NO NO BUSH SET THE COURSE BUSH HIT THE ICE-BURG no spinning here..THEN,, he RAN away from the White House as he KNEW the ship was sinking,,and he KNEW HE CAUSED IT TO HIT THE ICE-BURG because HE told his people what speed to set !!! :You see,,when you tell a story,,get the facts right and don't try and DISTORT THEM to change history

Update 5:

DESIRE And I'm sure 48 is your I Q also !!

Update 6:

AGENT 99 According to what BUSH enacted American wire tapping, survilence, spying on anyone anywhere, anytime ''the patriot act'', America can do whatever it wants !! YOUR MAN !! Research the facts !!

Update 7:

NOAH THANKS I forgot the Christians with what they do ,,pedophile priest, evangelicals who are homosexual perverts hiding AT the pulpet, with the POPE in Rome stealing any and all monies the sheep across the world send to them.. And by the way,,NOAH could have NEVER gotten ALL the worlds animals on that stupid boat !! And DINASOURS too or their eggs??

REALLY ?? But guess what forcing Christian MORALITY on everyone be they christian or atheist is another hypocritical goal of the right and republicans.. NOW I"M REALLY HAPPY !! SOLOMON

    That can only be seen by those who are not living in denial.

    Actually no, to keep it simple for you, it was basically a democrat controlled congress that passed laws forcing banks to give bad loans, they in turn sold those bad loans off and bim bam boom the shiit hit the fan and the economy tanked.

    now ask why after nearly two trillion in spending with virtually no positive effect on the economy is obamas only solution to spend more.

    Oh and you want to use cute little metaphors? How about this, Bush is Captain of the Titanic, he set the course he set the speed and is heading into an ice berg filled area, he leaves and gives obama command, instead of stopping or even changing direction because ANY FOOL can see where they are heading, he radios the engine room to pour it on and continues straight on into the iceberg.

    And I'll be money in 08 when gas prices climbed to new highs you were screaming loud and clear how Bush was to blame, but 3 months ago when gas prices rose to new highs you sat there telling everyone how the president cannot control gas prices. Stop being a dupe for the dnc and look at facts, look up dodd/frank, look at what has NOT happened to turn things around, look at the 30 job bills sitting un-voted on due to harry reid, look at the fact that apparently all obama can do is blame and usurp the US Constitution.

    Unlike you I do not want to live in a third world country, I do not want to live (again) in a socialist country, AND I CAN TYPE IN ALL CAPS TOO, all that tells me is you are throwing a tempertantrumm like most liberals do when confronted with truths they cannot defend.

    No I would say it's more the LEFT that are responsible for this. DEMOCRATS took over BOTH Congresses and the Senate in 2006, gee that was BEFORE the HOUSING BUBBLE (partly due to the new DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS REFUSING to REGULATE big banks and big corporations on loans and derivatives with companies like Goldman Sachs, Bear Sterns, Meryl Lynch, AIG and JP Morgan.

    The Democrats new solution to all this misappropriation mess was "DEFERRED PROSECUTION" If the big banks or corporations promised they wouldn't do bad things again, like lie, cheat, steal, making BILLIONS off of consumers, they would get to continue their business. To date NOT ONE of these institutions has even been charged or investigated.

    Actually, CLINTON set the course for the OUTSOURCING especially regarding CHINA and the HOUSING problem, when these companies decided to use derivatives and loaning to EVERYONE no matter what the actual rating of the loan or if it could be paid back or not and LEVERAGING their own companies to the hilt. Largely we, the AMERICAN TAXPAYERS BAILED out these COMPANIES, 450 BILLION DOLLARS worth.

    If OBAMA was any kind of a leader he would stop blaming his predecessor and find solutions to all of these problems, instead of promising handouts and government dependent programs. He's made things progressively WORSE from the National Debt to UNEMPLOYMENT, to NON-existent BUDGET PLAN from the Democrats at all [remember they are the MAJORITY, so they have the final say not Republicans] to the HOUSING MARKET. On top of that his policies are in VIOLATION of the US CONSTITUTION from NDAA, to Obamacare, to using drones over the US (whereas you need probable cause and a WARRANT to even do this type of surveillance in the first place) pick one.

    Yes because it's all bush's fault. The only one you left out is Christians. Yes Bush did have a role in ruining the economy but Obama and the left made it worse. Liberals are an embarrassment to America.

    Self-indentifying conservatives outnumber self-indentifying liberals 2 to 1

    This road we are on began WAY before any one named Bush was a contender for President. It was also enabled by the voters who put these people in office and the consumer who buy the crap the big business sells.

  • 9 years ago

    Now now lets be fair the Bush Administration is no less at fault then the Obama Administration they're botyh big government aminsteamers who want to impsoe their will on hte people Obama is jsut as much a cornyist as Bush he just calls it "Stimulus" so it's OK.

  • 9 years ago

    You have a very vivid imagination, and not terribly bright.

    It's time to face facts that Obama has made things far worse, and is totally responsible for the current business climate, as his whole economic, fiscal and domestic agenda is overtly hostile to small business and employers. He's a failure.

  • 9 years ago

    i remember a historic rash of corporate scandals and terrorist attacks with the GOP in the White House. Too anyone with common sense Obama has run a stable term by comparison.

  • 9 years ago

    Nope, they are not. Go back and study the data. You'll find it almost all comes back to the democratic policies.

    @ In short, you did not want an answer. You wanted a rant and people to agree with you. Your mind was already closed

    Bush is retired.

    Your messiah has been in office for almost his entire term and is actively seeking reelection.

    The Democrats have controlled Congress since 2006.

    It is time for Obama and his lemming-like followers to put on their big boy pants and take responsibility for their own actions.

    Four years later and you're still blaming Bush. You're pathetic.

    If only you had some actual accomplishments to trumpet instead of excuses.
