Wall Street meldown was caused by Bill Clinton and Robert Rubin by engineering removal of Glass-Steagall act. Removing that act enabled banks to use depositor’s money for risky derivatives and other leveraged schemes.
The resulting mess reached breaking point near the end of GWB’s 2nd term, although he had nothing to do with it. Unfortunately GWB did not have enough sense to re-institute Glass-Steagall when republicans had the majority in congress.
Hint: Ronald Reagan
12) How have black-Americans done economically under the first Black President?
Pretty sure that 50% black teen unemployment under Obama is not a good thing. And 18% for all working age blacks under Obama is damn near a disgrace. You'd have to go back to the 1930s to find worse numbers.
How many more 'Watrees" would grace our landscape without the scourge of abortion? How many Knockout Game victims went unpunched today?
And Kohn’s point is well taken. Mr Wattree’s article is hatefully predictable and thus will appeal to only those with the same hateful beliefs. Sally is correct in the value of how something is said being as important as what is said. What she needs to understand is that conservatism is about encouraging personal liberty, which appeals to intellect, reason and truth, and can be debated reasonably and respectfully. On the other hand liberalism is fraudulent, selfish, and depressive and MUST NOT be debated but accepted without regard to history,conscious, or personal integrity.
Those like Mr Wattree cling to the negative and the hate, and are only interested in limiting others liberty by shouting them down as propagandists, as evidenced by his statements.
Those like Hannity and other conservatives respect liberty and freedom and encourage intellectual debate, as evidenced by Kohns experience.
They’re so used to getting away with that, including with the msm, that they now think everyone’s too stupid to see it.
I’d bet she gets “shamed” into walking it back. We all know how the race baiters act when someone looks like straying off the plantation. The delinquent can’t take the ostracism and runs back.
Thank you for the additions to the list.
I would not disagree, but would observe that your comment contains a feral apostrophe.
Both Sally Kohn and Kirsten experienced an epiphany of sorts on Fox. I respect them both for having the courage to come out and say these things.

Me, too. I would also add Juan Williams and Bob Beckel, even though both are hard-core RATS. They don’t always toe the line on spouting the Dem talking points. Alan Colmes is a total lost cause, who must have toked too much in whatever schools he attended.
He must have forgotten things didn’t go south until the RATS won both house in 2006 and started 2007 with damn near veto-proof congress.

Exactly what I try to point out to others, but they still blame Bush.
Then, I explain that Clinton was the magic-man, because it was the GOP had both houses for the last SIX years of his terms; yet, the Dems still give him credit for the positives.

Yet, the liberals and the DOJ (redundant, I know) continue to trumpet that blacks are being arrested and jailed at a rate that’s not equal or fair. .....The idiots don’t understand that people who can’t make a living at a real job have to get money through crime.
“Sally Sasquatch”
That was an epic night on FR! Buckhead started the ball rolling by questioning the font of the “paper work” and it just became a tsunami after that . Dan Rather ever after that looked a deer in the head lights
Only in America can someone be excoriated for suggesting demonizing those with whom we disagree is wrong.
Stupid comes in many colors
It was Harry Truman in an action that arguably saved tens of thousands of lives on both sides.
Thank God I won’t have to see this ugly hag or listen to her screeching voice any longer.
She was a robot for the progressive left and was programmed to spew out liberal garbage every time she opened her ugly mouth.
Even before that. Shortly after he was elected, Clinton instructed Janet Reno to threaten lending institutions to relax standards for buying homes leading to the sub-prime mortgages. That was the start. And if we want to be really technical, we can go back to Jimmy Carter whose admin passed the Community Reinvestment Act that precipitated the whole thing. Reagan and GHW Bush were sane enough to ignore the act. Clinton couldn’t wait to start it up again.
Let me know when Mr. Wattree moves to Detroit - then I might consider taking the trouble to refute the idiocy of his support for donkey party socialism.
