You Tube ^ | September 24, 2008 | PTBC

The Bush Admin and Senator McCain warned repeatedly about Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and what thus became the 2008 financial crisis -- starting in 2002 (and actually even earlier -- in the Clinton and Carter White Houses. Democrats resisted and kept to their party line, extending loans to people who couldn't afford them -- just like you would expect of socialists.

RE:”Bush sat there with his head in the sand worrying about Jailing border agents and not DOING his Job..”

I agree that it was one of his most offensive acts. But I honestly came to the conclusion the past few years that Iraq buried him. He went out on the limb, drew the terrorists and MSM fire, then found no WMDSs and spent near the rest of his administration after reelection straightening Iraq out, on political defensive,until economy crash. Americans were never warned by him how expensive or long it would be. That gave liberals and MSM everything they ever needed to destroy republicans.

Well, enjoy your Barack Obama and Marxist congress

The biggest reasons Obama was elected: dumb voters, the MSM, and GW Bush's mishandling of the economy.

Bush's mishandling of the economy.

This is why I laugh at this forum's so called "conservatives".

How does a President "handle" an economy that relies on trillions of private sector transactions?

President Bush left a strong legacy. I think these illustrate it quite well...




Fewer Voters Identify as Republicans:
Democrats Now Have the Advantage in "Swing" States
(Pew Research Center for the People & the Press; March 20, 2008)

And now, the country is having to pay dearly for his behavior and actions.

Note especially how "Dems + Independents Leaning Dem" is more than 50% without even going after the Independents in the middle. Note how the Swing States went from strong GOP to Dem.

It takes a true Obama/Reid/Pelosi fan to like GWB's presidency.

Via road and airport. It IS NOT OPEN!!!

Er, most illegals don't try to enter via roads and airports. A few with fake IDs try it.

Obama will be much worse than Bush on immigration enforcement, but that is faint praise for Bush.

Wow... I said “the border” not “the southern border”. I want the Northern border secured too. The ports as well. You can tell me the border is secured all you want but I live in southern California, and I see differently.

***LMAO. Like any of you would ever DO ANYTHING but hate Mexicans from anonymity on internet forums. Mouthy, dishonorable lazy dipsticks.***

Hate Mexicans? I worked with Mexicans in my dad’s pizza shop in high school and they were some of the most hard working funny people I know. I also happen to be in ROTC, so as far as being lazy and dishonorable...

I posted one sentence and a short after thought and from that you get that I hate Mexicans, am lazy and dishonorable, and am a “dipstick”. Okay...

Don’t it feel great to go on a spending spree...until the credit card bill comes?

Are you prosperous while spending, even if you can’t make the payments?

Bush is not the only cause of the economic crash, but he played a role. In 2004 Bush's SEC allowed Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley to shoot craps with investor money at 40 to 1 odds, and that loosening of regulation was a major factor in the acquisition of those "toxic assets."

I used to be a big Bush defender. I defended him from Edinburgh to Macau, and voted for him 4 times. And on some matters, I will still defend him, but not the economy.
