Yes. Just Wow. Evidently, Bush has assumed the logic of the Decadence—i.e. the Left—that is rapidly destroying Western Civilization.

Exactly when and where did he BUsh this? Other than the referenced site's say so, I see no reference to the quote.

Now, clealry, what is happening is not the free market...it is the deconstruction of the free market.

...and the guy coming behind Bush, the Obamanation, will surely take what is happening now and extend it to the point of creating an entire command economy.

Obama is a marxist and he views the free market, the constitution, and independent Americans as the problem.

OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKET, AND ENERGY

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS

IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO THE OLD SCHOOL

What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?

I think I'll swallow some rat poison today to save myself from dying of a fatal disease tomorrow.

Well, lets see, if the economy is as bad as it is...why not let it collpase totally with millions of people out of work, and then lets see if we can save capitalism.

Many forget the Depression almost brought this country to Communism..that’s when Commies had the strongest possibility. I don’t think Bush’ comment in that light is all that ridiculous.

At some point, we're going to have to quit defending this hideously vapid president. While disagreeing with every tenet of liberalism, we must admit that this man is perhaps the most inept individual to have ever held the office of the president. He cannot communicate his convictions. He has been an unmitigated disaster.

If the Prez actually was a conservative (as advertized years ago) we would not be marching toward the day when a foreign born marxist takes the office.

Bush totally screwed up in the last 8 years. He ain’t even close to being conservative. He wanted to get along with liberals! We want to DEFEAT liberals! What a disappointment he has been.

At least Laura Bush has been an outstanding First Lady.
What a contrast Michelle “Never been proud of my country” Obama will be.

Happy New Year! Not.

Exactly when and where did he BUsh this?

It was during a recent CNN interview. And yes, there is audio; many of the news-talk programs have replayed it.

Link to the FR thread about it is in my post #13.

Add the evangelical Christian community to your list of institutions targeted for elimination and you'll have Barry-O's domestic agenda in a nutshell.

Thanks. It's obvious he believes this because it is what he is doing. But the quote is astonishing. More terrible, gut wrenching disappointement at what is happening to our country.

Thankls for the link...it is an amazing and disgusting quote.

"I will save you by destroying you."

I believe the new Treasury Secretary is a DEMOCRAT - and that should explain everything. You’ll never convince me that that the Secretary was operating under any other rules than those laid down to him by the democrats in congress.

This bailout is for the UNIONS not the workers. The dems are terribly beholden to the unions for all their donations and votes.

The UNIONS NEVER SUPPORTED OR VOTED FOR BUSH .. and there is the problem. These unions don’t deserve to be bailed out.
