I hate it when people blame Obama for this crisis. This crisis started under BUSH.

[Cosmo1093]

@vgcq02 It must be funny how Bill Clinton openly blamed the Democrats for blocking Bush and Republican efforts to add regulations on Fannie and Freddie. Why did the Democrats do this? Because they wanted affordable housing, even if it meant subprime lending. Bush did warn the US back in 2003 about Fannie and Freddie, but at least he has the decency not to say "I told you so" to the Democrats now.

[shannwil]

You all who voted for this man has to be some stupid motherfuckers.

[DarthCormac]

It would have been great if no Democrats has been in Congress from 2001 until 2008, but sadly that was not the case.

So, when you criticize Bush for what you call "his" spending policies, you all should remember Senate & House Democrats refused to back anything he proposed unless there was a large amount of liberal pork attached to it.

Bush inherited a recession from Clinton and he got the blame for one started by Democrats who came into Congress in '06.

CONGRESS controls spending, idiots.

[judyleasugar97]

@DarthCormac: Bush created the biggest portion of the deficit: the Iraq War. That was not Clinton's fault. Not to mention the tax cuts for the wealthy and the prescription drug plan, all added to the deficit. And don't get me started on all the jobs sent overseas . . .

[hellojulie]

@DarthCormac first of all the republicans controlled congress from 1995 to 2007, that consists of them running three branches of government from 2001 to 2007. in this period, the Bush tax cuts were passed, the Iraq War, the attempt to privatize social security, cuts on infrastructure. do you know what the net job growth under bush for his two terms was? the first: 0.0%, the second, 0.2%. that is less than 2 million jobs. Clinton was 2.6% and 2.3% which translates into 24 million jobs total.

[hellojulie]

@DarthCormac Clinton left office with a surplus in 2000 and 2001. he presided over the longest period of peace time economic expansion in US history. Bush did the damage

[marcoaguzmanjr]

Don't forget doing that he did that shit while cutting $1 trillion dollars in taxes. The poor dude had no idea what the hell was going on.

[leykisfan1]

and lets not forget that the trillion in taxes went to the top 1% of tax payers

[jasonletigre]

bush the best president ever.... he didnt do anything bad. he just try to help the "economy" he is a good president you just have to read about abraham lincoln he was the bad president ever in the history about american

[atlista]

VIva Bush.

[zodeloni]

Bush blew my tax money away on wars and to israel. fuckin basterds aipac

[ahmedj83]

I dont undersatnd how did the congress allow bush to go to 2 wars and spend all this money in the wars , what did bush get from the war....did he find bin laden ?? did he find weapons of mass destruction in iraq??.....

i think serious investigation needs to be carried out to find the truth and to avoid such decisions that can lead to complete collapse of the nation and the economy of the world.

[ahmedj83]

very true...

Well, he obviously missed the reality of the oil bubble.

[duckinmypants]

this president is an asshole

[metromusicamphibian]

I love this girl!

[vampin6]

I wish the president had magic wand like in the farie tales!!!

[Acecrack]

But the president don't have a magic wand! He can't just say "Low Gas." In fact, the president can't even spell it.

[satinbarbi]

I am adapting to this economy. Learning to enjoy eating discount lunch meat and moved into an old shack in the woods. I will be heating with only wood and enjoying ice cold showers since I can't pay for a hot water heater. At the end of the Clinton Years I had a booming business, a new car and 0 debt. I will vote McCain because the shack is too good and I want a cardboard box to live in.

[UncleRico13]

Incompetence never looked so presidential before!

[mrgloop0]

This report just made my day. I'm all fuzzy inside.

The fact this journalist refers to our President as "Mr. Bush" is telling.

Of course we're in dire straights, but could you empower your listeners by spending one minute of video feed in the light of optimism?

Will you continue to empower anarchy and socialism or can you possibly assist in solving the problem?

[stamporomano]

More propaganda from a frustrated gay woman. She's just desperate for Obama to legalize same sex union. Economy schmeconomy as far as she's concerned.

"If your question is 'should the government bail out private enterprise, the answer is 'no it shouldn't'" —George W. Bush, July 15, 2008

Can you say flip-flop?

Why is it that when his rich buddies are getting richer, Bush is a free-market capitalist ... but when they hit a rough patch, he supports corporate socialism?

[truthsabre7]

The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.

[c1magr8]

IF the republicans were really for reform they would have started by cleaning up the trash in their own party! EVERYONE KNOWS that bush & cheney are a pair of LYING, CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT, WORTHLESS, USELESS, MINDLESS, WAR MONGERS & TOTAL FUCK UPS. Yet, the republicans supported them in 2004 & they continue to thwart any efforts towards IMPEACHMENT of these 2 MORONS! Face it, bush & the republicans were in TOTAL POWER for 6 years & have destroyed our country! bush is the WORST PRESIDENT EVER!

[tdj6464]

It's not the Bush Economy , it's the people that voted him in twice! It's the Republican economy . Clinton made money, Bush blew it all . The next president ,is in for more of a job than they could imagine.

[mousepd]

You're absolutely right. I'm one of the idiots who voted for the crook twice. I can't believe I fell for the lies. But I am now supporting Ron Paul. And I guess I'll vote for Obama.Ron Paaul has the (and has always had) the right idea. We need to regain control of our goverment at the Congressional level. We need to replace just about every member of Congress.

[yervan007]

It's just more evidence that the Republicans have turned the United States into the old Soviet Union with a small wealthy, elite ruling class managing the news, and a massive, ignorant peasant class too stupid and cowardly to rise up and do anything about it.

There is no hope for America; the United States has been dead for a long time.

[usernametaken73]

I dont know what's worse, this dumbass running our country...or all the retards on your local street corner who voted him in office.....twice.

[SkinsDeep]

Bush is such a moron, I can't believe they even let him speak.

[angelbe88]

IF I had a magic wand I would turn bush and cheney into Iraqi civilians.

[vgcq02]

@angelbe88 I would like to see them go bankrupt.

[brawnymike]

If you've like the Bush economy,

you'll love the McCainomy!

Car salesmen will always tell you sales are on the up and up, even if the economy's in the hole.

[thid1]

president fucktard...

what a fucking psychopath...

[BKDevious]

The worse is yet to come.

WaMu, and other big banks' finances will be hammered.

[daejinko100]

bail out in economics and finance is a term used to describe a situation where a bankrupt or nearly bankrupt entity, such as a corporation or a bank, is given a fresh injection of liquidity, in order to meet its short term obligations.

[daejinko100]

What a shame for the first MBA President.

[robertds1962]

cookoo

[publius87]

Constant lying and hypocrisy have finally driven Bush to lose his mind. I suspect the next thing we will see is eye and hand twitching a la Hitler.

BTW. MSNBC has also lost its collective mind too.

[SkinsDeep]

Already happened, whenever he does the "heh heh" thing, his eyes drop and his hands jerk.
