Bush: I screwed you all. But thanks for blaming it on the black guy

[DucatiMonster696]

Thank you for consistently defending your President by demonstrating that he's a coward.

Let's not overlook the fact that Obama also had for two years a Dem controlled Congress and Senate. That alone should speak volumes for all the things these guys claim Bush should of been prosecuted for but wasn't.

No, let's instead not overlook the fact that you are using a false, worn out, thoroughly debunked talking point, and acting self-righteous about it! Your 'supermajority for 2 years' been addressed on this forum more times than I care to count, so I'll make this brief:

YOU. ARE. WRONG. Obama had a collective 5 months to enjoy a 60 seat majority, and even some of that was during summer recess IIRC!

I think it speaks volumes that you are rolling out this fail yet, while pretending that little thing we call the filibuster doesn't even enter into this, or the GOP's record breaking use of it. Revisionist history from a troll, go figure... If you can't join in without needing to rewrite history, then kindly piss off.

No, let's instead not overlook the fact that you are using a worn out, thoroughly debunked talking point, again.

That has been addressed for you trolls more times than I care to count, so I'll make this brief.

I think it speaks volumes that you are rolling out this fail yet again, while pretending that little thing we call the filibuster doesn't even enter into this, or the GOP's record breaking use of it. Revisionist history from a troll, go figure...

I have several criticisms of Obama which I believe are valid and do not depend on Republican intransigence. Perhaps you don't mean me personally, but in any case I think there was much which was never properly addressed or attempted as a serious effort. There are Democrats who happen to agree with me. Bush was awful, but that's a relative term. I think Clinton was the best of the lot over the last 20 years, but Obama does not come close to him. As was said when the bar isn't waist high there's no real reason to congratulate anyone for a fine performance.

Correct on all counts, and well said.

This is a laughable reply considering that the changes to the banking system and lending rules pre-dated Bush Jr, i.e. they were approved by the Clinton administration and were well underway when Bush Jr. got into office.

Furthermore what do you call Fannie and Freddie Mac, HUD, CRA and its myriad of grants and programs, or the FLA (fair lending act), etc if not a part of the "Ownership Society"? The truth of the matter is you are a politically partisan kool aid drinker and any discussion with you is akin to talking to a religious fundamentalist on the negative effects of religion or pointing out that their messiah wasn't any better than the last guy, i.e. it's a pointless endeavor.

Funny how none of that fell on its face until Repubs were put in charge of watching over the flock, huh? Remember this?

Repub policy fueled the greatest top down financial looting spree since the 20's.

If it weren't that way, we wouldn't be where we are now. We couldn't be.

What concerns me most is that kind of financial skullduggery has been so firmly entrenched within the Repub ideology that if given the opportunity once again, the same results will occur.

It's as if there's this recurring happenstance whereby The Repubs somehow win elections despite the successes of Dem administrations creating favorable improving economic conditions for the middle class and the poor, of which creates more jobs, more disposable income etc. The newly installed Repub leadership, among other ideologically inspired practices, then proceed to choke of the federal regulatory agencies, winks at their friends and benefactors who are the "leaders of industry and self-described job creators" and allow them to freely ransack and pillage the "economy that's now ripe for the picking" thus driving it into a special kind of ruin that only the middle class and poor suffer from. They then lose elections over it, allowing the Dems to fix the damage the preceding Repub policy of draining the economy for fun and obscene profits created and the whole process keeps repeating itself, with the folks who control the Repub Party getting much richer every time the cycle repeats itself, just as the quality of life of the middle class and the poor correspondingly gets worse and worse.

Weird when I think about it, but it sure looks that way from the outside looking in.

Its funny how you keep grasping at straws to cover your eyes and plug up your ears whenever someone points out how Democrats had a hand in laying the groundwork for that which you are decrying.

People who still don't realize how bad bush was please never vote again. He was one of the country's worst presidents ever. It is the height of idiocy to say Obama is worse. He is not great, he isnT great at all, but he is no Bush.

Sadly, they did just vote again.
And God forbid the coming of January 2015.
The wacko's are back in charge.
