Also,, this story is already written. Any honest study of the great depression makes FDR, by far, most responsible for the depth of the suffering and the fact that it never ended until we geared up for WWII. But ask anyone,, Hoover caused it, and FDR saved us.

For the next 5 decades,, we will hear about Bush’s depression,, (so labelled for political reasons) and that Obama saved us. We can drag on in statist misery for a decade and it will never be Obamas fault.

Bush was bad for the USA IMO. He was a tool of one world government types. He did nothing to stop the spending train and the real estate corruption. He actively pushed us closer to UN governance. He allowed our boys to endure criminal prosecutions for killing the enemy and trying to survive a firefight in his PC military environment. He locked up our border patrol boys for a soviet “tenner” (10 year sentence) when *at most* they deserved to be fired.

I just dont like him anymore honestly. But he wont deserve the blame he is about to carry forever for everything that happens in our economy for at least a decade or 2 in the future, it’ll all fall at his feet. I even fear they will go the Pinochet route on him in 20 years.

It's already the Obama Depression.

He went on a campaign of threatening to bankrupt coal fired electric power generators and return us to the Dark Ages.

He compounded that with a promise to raise taxes on families.

I think if you go back to FDR's campaign you will not find him threatening industry, commerce and families ~ sure, he ended up harming them, but he didnt' threaten them!

Obama is by far the stupidest man to ever be elected President.

You're absolutely right. I view Bush as a personally decent guy who had a lot of wrongheaded ideas (and some right ones), and was too bullheaded or unperceptive to adjust to the needs of the times. He wasn't fiscally conservative -- compassionate conservative was big ticket spending which didn't buy him love. He wasn't interested in border security. And, in the name of being liked, he was all too willing to cede authority to international organizations which don't merit it.

I don't expect anything good from BHO, but I'm hoping to be surprised.
