That’s right. Even after the financial hit of 9/11, Bush had the economy in good shape until the Dems took Congress in Jan 2007, began trashing it, and blaming it on him.

Oh, man that is funny if not sad.

Bush's policy of cheap, and I mean cheap, money is what set the ball rolling for massive debt.

Bush grew the Dept of Education by 100%.

Chris Cox, under Bush, let the uptick rule die allowing massive speculation in the markets.

Bush pushed for tax dollars to be used pay down payments on homes for minorities and illegals.

Oh, and don't forget, Bush wanted a "new America" where we would all be speaking spanish...

THE "NEW AMERICAN"
..........<

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.

I doubt this. The Republicans tried to reform Fannie and Freddy but didn’t succeed. You can see some of the debate and procedural give and take on Youtube.

I agree by the time Bush said he had to destroy the free market he had become a yoxic fool! I’m not a Trump fan but let him step up and lay some stink on BO....more than Fox News idiots, O’Bore, Beck cowards will do.
