Let me be the first to admit it. That fact hardly excuses Obama for being four times more reckless.
Well done.
Hell, Bush wasn't much better.
Billions for Aids in Africa.
Border remained wide open.
Huge entitlement Rx program.
780 billion stimulus that had to be passed now now now!
If it quacks like a duck.....
Interesting read ping:)
We’ve been “admitting it” here for months, maybe years.
I admit it. Bush set the stage for the current abomination and that’s unforgivable.
GWB, did his best with regards to protecting this nation from islamic terror. He was less than hard-core conservative on many domestic issues, but he was consistent on that from the start. He said from the get go, that laws and budgets were congress’ job, and he would sign what they passed. He didn’t even veto things I know he wanted to, but he stuck to his belief that our representatives wouldn’t send him legislation WE (voters) didn’t approve of. IMO, GWB got blamed for Americans piss poor selection of Representatives and Senators. No doubt, he was no Reagan, but he did exactly what he said he would do for 99% of things. The 1% he flubbed, I got nothing for that other than, nobody is perfect.
Guess what, Americans have managed to screw ourselves again with an even MORE commie dem congress, and a commie pres. Good maybe some pain will slap this country’s stupid back to sane.
Why can’t liberals answer “How did Bush break America?” Last time I asked that on Youtube, I was cussed at.
He’s a regular President Taft.
Note to author- Please go back to 1977 and review what part Jimmah Carter had in the start of the financial meltdown...the CRA.
Then review Cinton, Cisneros, and Reno di\uring 1992-2000.
This financial problem was cooking for long before Bush was in office. PERIOD.
George Bush broke it, but zero broke it more. And in much less time.
I used to believe this, now I am not so sure it holds water anymore.
Regarding regulation: People forget the role of:
Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980
Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982
Tax Reform Act of 1986
And lets not forget the deregulatory efforts of the Keating Five (4 of whom were Democrats, the 5th being J. McCain)
The economic mess is not the fault of one party.
Gramm/Leach/Bliley — the bill that repealed Glass Steagall — was a fully bipartisan effort. It passed the Senate 90-8.
Had every Senator voted down party lines the bill would have failed 56-44, and Clinton could have vetoed it. He wouldn’t have though, because he later voiced support for the bill.
It is comforting for the left to blame Bush and the GOP, but this is Americas mess — the fault lies with both parties as well as the electorate who put them in power.
America who is your missing Daddy?..
O'bama is his name..
No, it was Deocrats’ subprime mortgages that “broke” America.
Bush had almost nothing to do with “it”. The fault lay in the Congress and the filthy turds who run corporate America. The true causes were present during the last several administrations.
I don’t consider GWB a conservative.
As far as lasting/significant changes and/or differences in governing style I honestly don’t see much difference domestically between Clinton & Bush. Obviously one is revered and one reviled by the left.
Bush ran a lot of things on auto-pilot except he was only too happy to write more blank checks. Suddenly this is a problem for liberals?
The left continuously wants to reduce it all to Bush=Iraq and that’s too simplistic to ever be true or accurate. The fact that we achieved victory is what drove them over the edge.
THE DEMONRATS ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERICA’S POOR IMAGE BY SPREADING LIES AND MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE WAR IN IRAQ, TORTURE, INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, THE PATRIOT ACT, WAR CRIMES, ETC.
