You Bush haters really crack me up. No freakin’ clue about history. All I see are Democratic talking points and Olbermann rants as the “facts” in your arguments.

DEANNA NELSON >>> “The Democrats believe in regulation
of industry, and an equal chance for everyone.”

Wrong.  The Democrats believe in FORCING an equal
outcome for everyone.  Dream on.  You can’t spend your
way to prosperity.

WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE WAKE UP AND GRASP THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS FOULED UP IN THIS COUNTRY CAN BE PLACED RIGHT AT THE FEET OF THE WORTHLESS, OBSEQUIOUS,SYNCOPHANTS IN CONGRESS ?!!  NO EXECUTIVE, WHETHER IT BE FDR, NIXON, CLINTON, BUSH,OR OBAMA CAN SINGLEHANDEDLY DAMAGE AMERICA WITHOUT A COMPLIANT,COWERING BUNCH OF TOADS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE WHO ARE THERE ONLY TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.

Ripskull,
I would love to know a little about you.  What do you do for a living?  Do you consider yourself blue collar, white collar or professional.  Do you really believe you are free and have control over your life under republican presidents? Do
you not realize that the multi national’s determine all aspects of your life.

How old are you?  Are you old enough to remember when working in a factory could provide a living for your family?  When your company provided good medical insurance for you?  When an illness in the family wouldn’t bankrupt
you? When you could hope to sell your house at a profit and have a decent retirement?  When your company provided a defined benefit pension plan that could not vanish like your 401(k) when the stock market crashed?

Do you remember when the elderly had no medical care and no income after 30 or 40 years of work?  Their children had to take them in and support them.

Is a safety net really so bad?  Do you think you will never suffer adversity in your life and will never need unemployment insurance, SS, Medicare…?

Maybe you don’t care because, maybe like W, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

There are huge philosophical differences between the Democrats and Republican’s.  The Democrats believe in regulation of industry, and an equal chance for everyone.  The Republicans believe in hoarding everything at the top.  They no longer even pretend that it will trickle down.

Middle and lower class people who vote Republican are voting against themselves.

The Obama presidency can be summarized with a single word: DISASTER. Barack Obama makes George Bush look like a genius. While its true that Obama inherited some of this mess, its also true that he and his welfare state policies were to blame for much of it. Who turned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into welfare programs which led to the crash??? Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and Obama are up to their eyeballs in blame. Not to mention that Bush inherited a complete mess from Clinton. I know that all the liberals like to talk about the Utopian society that Clinton created, with its balanced budgets and economic growth, but the fact is this: Bill Clinton took over an economy that was in expansion (the Bush I recession had been over for almost two years) and left one that was in recession, with a stock market that had completely tanked long before Bush II took over. Throw in the fact that Clinton left both our military and intelligence capabilities completely gutted, well you get the picture. This was mostly to blame for the bad intelligence around WMD’s.

Back to Obama, he has taken a bad situation and has made it infinitely worse. The reason the Great Depression was the Great Depression was because of Franklin Roosevelt’s big government socialist policies, putting a massive drag on any recovery attempt. This was when we were the world’s largest creditor nation. Now we’re the world’s largest debtor nation and Obama is taking those Roosevelt-like policies to new levels never dreamed of before. Obama has created more debt in the year he’s been President than the entire 8 years of Bush, and almost zero of it was necessary. So this is no longer Bush’s economy, this is squarely Obama’s mess now.

Finally, Obama’s health care theft will be another $3 Trillion spend that we don’t have. Oh I know, its going to save money… right!!! The federal government has such a solid record of “saving” and managing money effectively. Social Security: BANKRUPT! Medicaid: BANKRUPT! MEDICARE: BANKRUPT! The FDIC: BANKRUPT! Annual Deficits: $1.5 Trillion/year!!! Do you know in February the Federal Government spent $3 for every $1 it took in? How long do you think that is going to last?

Every single thing that Obama has done since becoming President has undermined capitalism and economic growth, and has replaced it with the rot of big centralized government and its inefficient and politically motivated controls. Good luck trying to pin this on Bush. We’ll see you in the voting booths come November.

Ripskull has spoken!

dude,
I don’t think I’ve ever read a comment as ludicrous as yours, blaming our economic woes on Clinton and the congress alone ? You don’t think Reagan deregulation had a negative effect. How about Bush starting wars and at the same time lowering taxes for the wealthiest ? The Congress up untill 2006, while the republicans had control marched in lockstep as one against the american people enabling the crimes of the Cheney / bush administration.You don’t think that had an impact. You must really limit your information to nothing but Beck and Limbaugh to have such an uninformed puddle of muck between your ears.

Look folks both party’s have been directed to destroy the middle class so don’t go for the crap that the media is trying to pull on the sheeple…..both party’s get there marching orders from those elite buffoons at the top of the financial food chain…i can’t believe sheeple are still feeding on bull s—t.

You can’t blame Bush
He never was the president in the first place
Al Bushomma & Satan 2012

Bush was absolutely the worst president and business man this country has ever seen. The only business he didn’t bankrupt was baseball, which he only entered with daddy’s friend’s money. It’s unbelievalbe that this idiot was reelected. I realy want to thank the shoe thrower for making my day.

In days past corporations paid decent wages because the people had to have money to buy the products that the corporations made. Now that manufacturing is dead in this country the corporate elite could care less about the fate of the working class. These bastards should be overthrown by any means necessary.

Hey Dude.  Your facts are not correct.  In the 60’s and 70’s the top tax rate was
as high as 90%!  Reagan irresponsibly lowered taxes way too much and caused
a huge deficit. 

Clinton raised taxes moderately, balanced the budget by getting “pay-go”
passed and started lowering the deficit.  We were going in the right direction.

Then, along came Bush.  Huge tax cuts, no more “pay-go” resulting in
enormous deficits and rising national debt.  Add lack of regulation to that and
a government wholly in the pocket of corporate America and you have the
mess we are faced with now.

Every President has made some mistakes, but W’s are by far the most
egregious.

That is certainly true that enough blame is around for most everyone in power. Still we don’t know the effect or even what Cheney’s meeting with the energy executives waa about. How much did that have to do with bankrupting the country? How much of not having a War Tax for the first time in the countries history contributed to our financial embarressment? I think we can be certain that an administration that aggressively appointed fools and hostile people to run the programs that American People wanted and regulation that America needed are rightly to be given the larger part of the blame.

The problem is why was this gangsterism unpunished, even uninvestigated?

How funny…. Bush only helped add to our deficit. I can see blame way back to amending the constitution in favor of “Corporate person-hood” and the first international trade agreement. I blame China, Mexico, and other countries that do not have similar minimum wage standards and occupational safety standards as the US and I blame every US citizen who does not support an alternate unemployment tax on all imports that will supplement and extend unemployment compensation due to outsourcing American jobs to foreign countries.  Take the profit out of outsourcing much needed American jobs to other countries.

Problem is they didn’t address the real initial culprit - Clinton & Congress.  Back when Slick Willy was conning the nation, he jacked up taxes to heights never seen before and is the main culprit for starting this downward spiral.  People don’t realize though, that it’s taken this long to destroy what Reagan built back up.  And actually, you could theoretically go as far back as Bush 1, since Mr. “No new taxes” didn’t exactly keep his word - also thanks to Congress.
