>>and that is somehow Obamas fault???
It’s now all Obama’s fault and responsibility. Just the price you pay for wanting to play with the big boys.
#22–thosewhoenjoyadhocnicknames==parse your own post to see the immediate hypocrisy?
When did I call you a man? I’ve known a few douche bag females.
No irony in calling someone as having “Bush Derangement Syndrome” and then criticizing them for calling people names? HAW!!! Just more neotard hypocrisy.
A large part of what’s wrong with our country is people NOT getting mad and calling spade a spade, a thief a thief, a liar a liar.
Name calling is not to be criticized except by those who hate the fit of the shoes.
People that voted for Bush the first time were just unsophisticated about what a leader should be ((not a failed silver spooned boy fake Texan who had never traveled overseas)). Those who voted for Bush the Second time were mush headed religionist who hate gays and unrealistically dream of being rich themselves one day.
Those who CONTINUE to support Bush Tax Cut Policies are DOUCHE BAGS and we will all be better off when they are seen as such. Calling what it is is would be a good start —- word!
water, check
food, check
shelter, check
air, check
I suppose that this life qualifies as survival.
How many have not survived?
Bush has blood on his hands, and you Americans with him. (If you insist that this is a democracy)
I wish you all the best.
#32, ‘tempt,
It’s now all Obama’s fault and responsibility. Just the price you pay for wanting to play with the big boys.
Nope. You can’t transfer the responsibility for the cause as if it is a used car. The current economy problems were the directly caused by the actions of the Administration and Republican Congress over the past eight years.
It will be Obama’s job to clean up the mess. And, I hope, to put those who got us here in jail.
Deep-Thought, Thanks, What part of the world are you in?
#24- points taken. I was wrong to equate failure with ruin.
#36 Mr Fusion
>>You can’t transfer the responsibility for the cause as if it is a used car.
As you know every world problem was credited to Bush for 8 years plus some from the Clinton administration, so it seems only fair to give Obama the same consideration.
It’s all Obama’s now, if only for for the sake of consistency.
#39–Contempt for the truth==why do you have contempt for the truth?
After reading his executive orders and the pork-laced stimulus package, the big question is whether Obama will survive the Obama administration.

#40-Little Dog Bobbo==Why do you live in denial?
#41–jb==nice link. Pork provides the grease to get bills passed. Sad, but even ObamaGod cannot change the basic corruption and greed that forms the base, skeleton, muscle and sinew of our political system.
Sure looks like after a successful first 200 years, we need to go parlimentary.
#42–Contempt for the truth==denial? I like to think just the opposite, regardless of my druthers. How about a short list of what I am missing. Doing the same as I request:
It was a worn out joke that BushCo blamed Clinton for everything that was blameable. Even in his swan song goodbye fantasy fest he claimed the bad economy on the “recession that Clinton handed him.”
You and your ilk can try to rewrite history, hopefully from jail, all you like, but you f&cked it up so badly, I don’t think its going to work.
From Jim Cramer:
“I’d love to, but I can’t” pin the blame for the debacles at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on President Bush.” he continued, “the Democrats got a lot of campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie and vice-versa. It was a big circle,” and that this is what enabled the two government-sponsored enterprises to continue “to lend to anybody.”
#42, who is rewriting history?
#44 little dog bobbo
Yep, denial pretty much covers it. You revel in blaming Bush who can’t spend a dime without the approval from congress, but deny the real massive economic destruction from the Pelosi/Reid regime.
“Survived?” THRIVED, BABY!
I don’t know about this Obama creep’s admin though.
#45
Per this video I will take that as absolute confirmation that Bush was directly and personally responsible for Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac.

I like the shirt but the ramifications of the Bush years equates to presidential 9-11.
It would be at least into Obama’s 2nd term before we dig ourselves out of this mess we are in.
The only good news is that the GOP is banned from the executive branch until 2050 or so.
After eight years of “I’m With Stupid –>” all I have left is this crappy t-shirt.
IMO Bush will eventually be regarded as not just the worst ever, but by an order of magnitude worse than anyone else. Who voted for that dick, anyway?
My salary is lower, prospects are worse, my kids’ education system is hosed, my retirement plan is in ruins, our rivers are dirtier, my food is loaded with salmonella and melamine. Other than oil companies and military complex, is anything better today?

>>My salary is lower, prospects are worse, my kids’ education system is hosed…
Another whiner who takes no responsibility for his own decisions. Are you related to bobbo?
#45 Robart….who is in charge? Bush saw fit to write executive orders for many things, but he left the SEC alone, he let them sit on their hands. His job is to enforce the laws, and he failed. So, the buck stops in the Oval Office, even though many politicians were involved. It’s like he spent eight years in that office with his fingers in his ears saying la-la-la-la-la-la.
He campaigned on leadership, then became a terrible leader.
“I don’t hear Republicans making up nasty little schoolyard names for their opponents. Apparently arguing without insults is a bit above your level, however.”
You must not spend any time on conservative blogs. They have a whole other language and series of code names for everyone – especially Obama.
“Other than oil companies and military complex, is anything better today?”
Yeah, you and your family are still alive owing to the fact that all of you (and us) have not been nuked by those mis-understood, ill-treated-at-Gitmo, so-called terrorists of Al qaeda.
Obamanation is bent on giving them another crack at you, though. Enjoy hating Bush!
#46–Contempt for the Truth==I’ll leave it to honest good judgment:
Who is more responsible for the net effect of the BushtheRetards Presidency:
A. Bill Clinton
B. BushtheRetard
C. Darth Cheney
D. Reid/Pelosi.
I managed to get laid off three times during the Bush administration. Here I am searching again!
#48–Greg==I was looking forward to a video I had missed but you have linked to Jim Cramer yelling “Don’t Sell Bear Sterns.” How is that related to BushCo?
“I Survived The Bush Years — Did You?”
Sure. ’00-’06 were the most prosperous business wise ever for my business.
#55 little dog bobbo
>>Who is more responsible for the net effect of the BushtheRetards Presidency?
None of your choices are correct. The answer is “We The People”
Um, I survived the Clinton years, the Bush years, and I’ll survive the Obama years.
Remind me again – which one is supposed to be the conservative?
#7, you are absolutely right, “Liberals” are very angry and hateful people. It’s not a coincidence that the ones who post on this blog are the ones who routinely call people snide little names. You are never “selfish” for wanting to confiscate other people’s money for your purposes, only if you want to keep your own. They are also the most pessimistic group around since it is always the default assumption that nobody is capable of being good or concerned enough to help out others absent the government stepping in and forcing them to.
And to bobbo’s rabid complaining about failed Bush tax policies and wealth transfers, he’s right, it’s shameful to think anybody would take the position that if you are going to cut taxes on one group, you should cut taxes on everybody. As it is, Obama is now tripping over himself to increase refundable tax credits to people who already don’t even have a federal income tax liability and we have a Democratic leadership which is screaming to repeal tax cuts on people who actually do. Glad to know that we are expanding the idea that the tax code is to be used just like any other welfare program.
