Dr. Nouriel Roubini insists that it was the policies of George W. Bush that caused the current U.S. economic crisis.

Until he said that i had some respect for this guy. A number of things he said did come true.
That is hack economic science, all of these problems go back to about March, 1933, the advent of America's decent into Progressive Liberal Socialism.

Yeah, and Bush sent in Special Forces operatives with suitcase nukes to blow mount St. Helens.

.

Actually, these a-holes should take a look...

.

Let's not forget the Community Reinvestment Act with sub-prime mortgages, Fannie and Freddie that Bush tried to rein in.

These past 3 years, the people were tuned in, more so than ever before. Obama, all his twitter stuff, all his greek pillars, all his speaches are falling short. Words are just that, words. His actions spoke louder than anything he said. And we saw who is is. He’s worse than Carter, us old codgers are onto him, and we’re spreading the word to our kids. They can trash the tea party all they want. We’re immune.

Liberty baby. It will win every time it’s challenged. We don’t care. F them. He can raise 100 billion dollars. It won’t matter. They threw the entire fed dem party at Wisconsin, 35 million bucks, and we beat them. Why? We know the outcome, we could care less about their commie message. We don’t want their message, and we won’t live their message. We can spend a hundred dollars and the conservatives will win. I hope this is the end of the progressive movement. We need to put a nail in this coffin.

Responsibility. We’re the grown ups. We will prevail.

WAIT! He didn't blame the TEA Party!!

He must not have gotten the memo from the DNC stating that everything bad is now the TEA Party's fault.

The explanation is so devoid of creativity that it sounds like he’s sticking to very rigidly programmed talking points; it sounds like an alibi, not an explanation. I was going to ask who he’s covering for, but you answered it. The banality of evil.

Good grief!! George W. Bush is still so powerful that he can cause the U.S. economy to collapse even two years after he left office? I thought he was too stupid to do something like that!

Imagine what it would be like before the internet? The libs failed at suppressing conservative internet and radio. Poor babies. We have are media, they have MSLSD. They are devoid of solutions. Tax and spend. That’s they’re solution, which, we all know will fail.

Obama is truly living in the 60’s. Hanging our with Bill Ayers. Poor guy, he should be more hip than that, considering his age. Obama struck up friendships with wanna be’s hippies, you know, the against the ‘man’ crowd. How yesterday.

Heck, I’m 52, I’m lumped into that baby boom crowd. I know he’s barking at the moon. We’re so beyond 1972 and woodstock. I was 9. Obama was what? 6? What a freaking POS he is. I’m part of that crowd? Give me a break. What a colossal cluster F that generation is. They wanted to get rid of the ‘man’, and now they are the man forcing us into everything they protested? What a joke.

Pathetic POS’s they are.

Right on! Enough is enough - listening to these America haters is giving the Country heartburn. The cure is ridding ourselves of the cancer of liberalism

Yep, the tech bubble burst in the last years of the Clinton presidency, which resulted in reduced revenue to the Fed. govt, The govt. hadn’t come back from that when 9/11 whacked the economy again. It hadn’t completely recovered from the attacks when the housing bubble burst. So the fact that there was any economic growth during Bush’s 8 years in the White House is amazing!

Even we lowly peasants know that nearly all politicians and their favorite socialist/globalist constituents are responsible for the economic decline. No amount of noisy, sponsored propaganda from the inbred, government-supported elite will distract us from that.

His timing is kind of funny. I was just listening to Mark Levin and he mentioned a poll that was just out saying
59% of the people don't blame Obama for the bad economy and it dawned on me that is what Mr. Roubini just said in essence yesterday, He must be following the Democrat talking points.

I was in one of those hoity toity MBA’s in the Bush era to get an MBA. Us evil MBA earners. I earned 50K. Really, this is what I earned? (I Can spell).

AFTER MY MBA. Stone me and send me to the gallows.

Really, you people need to relate to real life. Stop protesting people. The Government is is your problem. We the people are not! It’s going to take a LONG time to fix this problem. We’re on the right track.

Great post!

Conservatives make themselves look silly playing the bipartisan bush=Obama card.

It’s not even close. If you factor in dem control of congress in Jan 2007 it is clear that Obama and his fellow liberals crushed the economy in 2008.
