I know there is widespread hatred and derision for what happened last year.
But let’s pretend (make it hypothetical if that helps). Let’s pretend that Bush is right, that he was able to pull together the world community to intervene. Assume that without that intervention the world economy would have collapsed. With that collapse, there would have been widespread poverty, starvation, hardship. Certainly it would have led to regional wars and conflicts as nations fought each other for dwindling resources.
We don’t believe the story, ok, but please, bear with me — the world community of socialists certainly believe that Bush’s work with the world community was necessary, and that it saved the world economy from collapse and the chaos that would follow.
Therefore, isn’t it the case that George Bush did MORE FOR WORLD PEACE in 2008 than anybody else, by this strong intervention?
And doesn’t that mean that Bush, and not Obama, deserved the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for actions taken in 2008? Obama did NOTHING in 2008 to help world peace, after all, while according to this story Bush’s foresight and ability to bring the world’s leaders together saved us from world war 4.
It was a temporary Stay of Execution.
Why don't you fess up and admit you made a horrible mistake by listening to Paulson and Bernanke?
Then, be a man and tell the American People what you really think about Obama and his fellow fascists who are wrecking the country you tried so hard to save for eight years. Better yet, get in there and help lead the charge to save America!
I remember W that one morning, when he did his usual cackle about subprime being contained as the world financial markets were imploding.
Advice to George:Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool
than to open it and remove all doubt.
Legacy wh*ring huh. Ex-Presidents Bush, Bush, and Clinton (great name for a law firm) are obsessed with their legacies.
Bush 2’s main legacy is the rat scumbag who took his place.
Ex-presidents should be - well - ex-presidents. There are very few exceptions to this rule. This, in essence, means - STFU.
“Coordinated international action helped save the world”
Coordinated domestic wealth redistribution and fascist government policies along with willing private whores created the problem in the first place and might still manage to sink the world economy.
