Wall Street Got Drunk

[emperor1804]

Hi, I'm making a documentary on the financial crisis and I was wondering if I'd be able to use this clip for it. Thanks.

[derberg19486]

Nothing funny about this ass wipe or the fucker banks he jokes about, millions around the world lost billions because of a stupid idiot over seeing a bunch of greed fuck Americans

[JumpingMusic]

if you people would have really understand what Wall Street is, you would have understand that Bush is very unfair player...

(I personally call his an idiot! too bad that he is not... he knows what he is doing...)

[keyboardplaya]

"Wall Street got drunk. Now it has a hangover. And it slipped a roofie in your sister's drink, and tittyfucked her. Then it pissed in your kitchen sink and crapped on your dog."

Enough with the fucking metaphors.

[WWW9315]

Vous êtes dans une sacrée merde les Yankees !

[sniggs88]

if no cameras were aloud why is there cameras flashing

[Necrofascist]

no VIDEO cameras were allowed... obviously.

[ZedAlfa273]

Its interesting to hear a dried-out alcoholic like Bush talk about Wall Street getting drunk.

Bush is the drunk.

[kztcsb]

deben votar por obama

[tomster62]

yep, and Bush was one of the bar tenders.....

[asldeaffriend]

you damn republicans are the MOST INCONSIDERATE; UNCOMPASSIONATE HUMAN BEINGS IN THE WORLD! AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOURS FUCK EVERYONE ELSE....STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE! THIS ECONOMY IS JUST GREAT FOR THE "HAVES" BUT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE "HAVE NOTS". STUPID BASTARDS ALL OF YOU.

[thinkchip]

...and it's considerate to vote for power hungry jerks that will take money from family budgets? 'democrat' and 'republican' are foolish labels. what counts is whether authority is centralized in government or remains where it should be. either an individual makes a decision or the government makes it for him. if the irs takes my dollar for your favorite program that takes the power away from this people. only strictly (Constitutionally) limited government truly achieves 'power to the people'.

[tjr247]

say what?

[dvdlps22]

it was his policies that took the regulation watch dogs off of wall street and allowed them to do there own thing and now we are facing financial ruin in this country because of this BS Mccain/Palin will really take us off the cliff, LOL

[catrock360]

wall street got drunk bush was the bartender

[bmwx3turbo]

wallstreet got drunk and now it has a hangover lol

[gmunespin]

Our president has every right to say what he wants to say just like you and and me, its called Freedom of Speech.

[supersosyal0531]

And He is the President of the USA. Who can not behave in public? There should be more serious issue than laughing about economic. He got the freedom of speech but we don't have our freedom to use our telephones.

[t4705mb6]

Millions upon millions of Americans losing their homes.

"Wall Street got drunk." Tee hee hee!

Doesn't Bush sound concerned about America?

"Hey, shut off your cameras! I only want my BASE to hear me make fun of Americas misery!"

Doesn't this lying, stupid, greedy, cocaine snorting, Jack Daniels guzzling, draft dodging, war mongering, homosexual fucking Nazi Texas rancher from Connecticut make YA'LL PROUD!!??

Hey! THANKS VOTERS!!

Like this asshole?

GOOD! More's a'comin!

[ihatenongermans]

ooooorrrrrrrrr he was trying to simplify it for imbred dumb fucks like you.

[t4705mb6]

Thank you for your intelligent resonse.

Although slightly on the juvenile side, I can understand your inability to think clearly as most 26 year old Americans are, in REAL years, only about 11.

"Man, doing you're homework is STUPID!", right?

[ihatenongermans]

i didnt understand any of that. you are the one that should be doing your homework. its called a sense of humor and he has one, but ok.

[t4705mb6]

You didn't "understand" it?

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

The dictator is making fun of the the average american who is losing EVERYTHING he/she worked for. George Bush thinks thats funny.

So, you LIKE fascism. Okay, you're on the record. When the country collapses and YOU are affected I hope you still don't miss freedom and the constitution.

There is something basically very wrong with the mind that believes that these fascists are "good" people. They're sick.

[jimmyjamesm]

Whoa whoa whoa!!! He is not from Connecticut at all buddy!!! His dad was, the smart one:)

[t4705mb6]

Dubya was born in Connecticut.

I didn't see him come out of the birth canal but my family vacationed every summer in Kennebunkport, Maine. It was a tiny town and we knew the Walkers & have been to the estate several times fishing.

I can't imagine why they would lie about where the idiot son was born.

By the way, being a liar, sneaky & sly doesn't make you "smart".

[animalloverg9]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooobush is a boob bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­b boob

[animalloverg9]

bush sucks

[lmagbig23]

well at least he says what he wants to say

[citizentrenostrash]

i'm real excited about how our crashing economy is a series of jokes to this man.

that's real great.

[ZedAlfa273]

Wall Street got drunk and fancy financial instruments and stuff.

Makes perfect sense to me.

[Jintamil]

mexicans have been illegally crossing the border forever. 1200 mexicans cross the border everyday, obama can't really do anything, the laws may get harsher but mexicans won't be scared, the pros still outweigh the cons.

[cscbill]

We've got to elect Obama, but he has got to get the illegal immigrants out of this country. No other country allows people to cross their borders. Its insane, Its gotten way out of hand. And it's a problem. Point blank its pulling down African American way of living, because now we are competing with a larger Minority group then us.

[comcasttiny]

no get all the african americans out because they mug you and they steal from you and they cause to much problems

[lmagbig23]

k thats just terrible

[LunarFaith]

The red car wants to move...

[MickQuick07]

lol @ the car at the end

[toribaby2005]

I MAY BE A HOT CHICK BUT I SURE DO LOVE POLITICS!! haha =] xoxo

[nowwithmorekick]

Being hot is an opinion so if you think your hot then you are hot to you.

[BladJoe1950]

cool

[layzie1999]

how has bush going into iraq made him money from oil i thought it slowed down plans of oil production which is bad for him

[czargwar]

this is the side of Bush i like to see, everything else he fails at

[djinnbladex]

Wow, no wonder our economy is screwed. Bush has no idea what is going on in the US or the world. He has created another 'vietnam' in Iraq which my generation and generations to come will have to endure. Just for oil and war profits. The 51% of America who voted him in for a 2nd term really are stupid.

[bushtyranny]

whats sad is the Bush supporters who now want change, will vote for McCain. yeah, we're gonna change the war from a decade to a century.. Dumb asses. and that economic stimulass rebate check? that was just to get crack and heroin money into the poor's hands to buy from covert ops real trade business. Oh, we aren't in Afghanistan for Bin Ladin, there is bigger treasure from that region. at least for the NWO. and Pump them hurt Iraqis with Morphine so they'll buy your smack later.

[Jeffish7]

why u blocking traffic

[USADAVIS145]

vote for Mccain = Wallstreet Welfare = Wall Street Intoxication

[Richardgwm]

Worst President EVER.

[Mjbott7]

the man can work a crowd, that's for sure.

[statesRcountries]

WAKE-UP PEOPLE... and hear the TRUTH!!!

The Assassination of...

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer

youtube . com/watch?v=GMo7T9t0Gzk

[shaire99]

who would know about getting drunk better than Bush?

[artmonkey2006]

Hrmmm... maybe you're right, peopleasylum.

But then, he would have owned Obama.

So, yeah... great analogy.

[mamaindigo4]

I think the man's an idiot, a liar and the worst president we've every had, but I don't know why this is a big deal. It was a funny analogy (well, sort of) put together better that most of his analogies. This was nothing.

[stizzco]

Because it contradicts what he has been publicly saying about the economy.

[mamaindigo4]

True that. But the man is a bundle of contradictions. I thought people were taking issue with the way it was said, not the implication. Thanks for clearing it up.

[wing1914]

hello

[ellhow]

He's not bad when the cameras are off!

[mossretard]

what is wrong with he said wall street got drunk and crazy and now they fucked themselves, of course the fed giving everyone 2% money is part of the problem and so what he is joking around, i have no problem with what he said

you people take this shit too seriously too now this has something to do with some sort of election crap,

[MikeFromRLC]

"post clinton yrs"? 1992-2000 saw the longest consecutive growth in the US economy. Of course, I wouldn't expect a racist to know that.

[thewb5]

Well at least he knows the problems that we are facing and the crap he has had to clean up from the post cliton yrs. Just hope we dont get that n*%$@r Obamma in office he is way out of whack.

[VALDIGNE]

let me guess, you are one dumbfuck white trash hick ??

[va1ha11a]

looks like Bush had one himself.

[kalvinphil]

Only in America can a complete idiot become president!!!!!! Who are all of those brown noses laughing at his jokes tthat arent funny @ all to Americans!

[kjack5]

Bush and Wallstreet got drunk and that is one good reason to turn off the camera and turn off Bush. Bush and Laura can take their jokes to the parking garage and instead of selling our roads and bridges maybe he can camp out their at the parking garage and laugh at his jokes there and hear his own echo in that there parking garage!

[luge668]

He is simply making light hearted jokes of the situation - Who is the dumbshit almost getting run over by a car while filming her shitumentary? I think it's great he has a sense of humor.

[qx2shoeman]

The issue is who is getting stuck with the check... I have a big problem with the folks getting drunk, not picking up the tab.

In Kansas we country types call those folks moochers...

[Chslosers]

Yea man i know what your saying about not blaming the borrowers. But in most cases, the borrower is either young or inexperienced, most will tell you they bought a house when it the market was going up and now not even a few years later, they cant pay for it. I think people assumed the economy was going to get better and better, but these are foolish mistakes , you cant blame the Iraq war either, we spend 700 billion on oil each year, need to fix this problem first. Vote yes, Anwar. Mccain 2008.

[soldierusa]

Now people see how stupid and uncaring this fool and the Republican party is. If you vote for McCain you will get the same none caring foolishness that we got of 8 years with that Dork. Please America Wake Up

[Tonyrcan]

What a pathetic caricature of a leader- Wall Street got Drunk...pathetic... where was he and his team- drunk as well. Guess so because the house of cards is tumbling. Seriously who in their right mind supports such nonsense. Idiots?

[prettygirlya1010]

i bet most of the people here complaining about Bush didn't even vote in 2004, so you guys have to right to complain.

[davebizkit77]

That mother fuckin ass bitch cock lickin finger fuckin redneck honkey tonkey moonshine drinkin herpes infested ASS!!!! How dare he!!! Bush is an insensitive pile of dirty cow shit. Nuff said Bitch!

[texasaggie85]

i like how the car just pulls up behind her.. also bush is retarded

[kalidyne]

Your political leaders, Democrat and Republican have total contempt for you.

[whilomwest]

oh man, how in the world did this guy get to be president. No leadership. No heart. No caring. What happened to the good old days?

[Spellbreaker34]

That's fucking horrible!! He's making jokes about how people can't buy food! What a jack ass!!

[huccimama37588]

He used 2 drink*

[huccimama37588]

The president used to b drunk. I bet he still is. He just wants everybody to keep their "video cameras off" Unless u confiscate everybody's electronics b4 a meeting, something that u don't want to get out, inevitably will.

[ohgee1]

SirDewdalot: What do you mean "call Mexicans what they are"? What are we? You're mad at us because we are not Trannies like yourself?Scumbags like you make me sick!

[Chslosers]

Why should the government bail us out everytime? The people who's houses are at stake, the majority borrowed money they knew they couldnt pay back and now they want to go after the lenders and companies?Credit card companies are being blamed and their interest is too "high", yet people continue to just charge because its almost like they have some strange idea.. Ill just pay it back later, ill have the money then.But look what happens.. the government needs to invest 5-10 trillion to fannie mae.

[youdefineme]

The large companies took a risk in loaning money to those people; that's how they make their money. They engaged in very risky practices for decades, and now they're paying for it. The big problem is that these people basically control the entire economy. It's very complicated, but the basic point I want to make is that in a world where credit is necessary to maintain a certain standard of living, blaming our current crisis on the borrowers is a bit like blaming the victim for a rape.

[ParadiddleMcFlam]

I agree with you but also think that many borrowers were not using their heads. That said, the entire Federal Reserve banking system is fraudulent. Those banks could make risky loans without caring about the consequences because it is all (supposedly) 'insured' by the tax payers; hence the recent bailouts. The whole fraud was created by New York banking interests so that they could spread the risk to the public through inflation of the money supply rather than bear it themselves.

[manuburgos]

I Wall street was getting drunk, why the government did not take away the bottles?

[manuburgos]

this guy is discosting, please is is making fun of the people that lost their houses, like if he does not have any responsibility

[rebelyell1983x]

what is so bad about this??? geez LeftWing people will jump on anything and try to twist it around...

[Taydiggity03]

Yeah he's being funny, making lightly of things. But try explaining that to people living out on the street because they lost their home....yesterday. Just because you right wing conservative, sorry excuses for humans, voted for this prick you try to justify his actions with economic mumbo jumbo. I hate living in a country where low lifes like you mother fuckers think Bush is some fucking prize. May God have mercy on your souls! Bush...I think we all know where he will be for the remainder.

[ohgee1]

Taydiggity, very well said. I myself cannot comment without calling Republicans what they are, SCUMBAGS!!!

[tokamakv]

he has to put things into moronic, simplistic terms that he can relate to and wrap his pee brain around. Those "fancy financial instruments" are far too complicated for him to fathom. I wish we would institute an IQ requirement for being leader of the free world. Embarrassing that we had this guy for two terms...

[kassandrasduplex]

More "let them eat cake" from the party of Greed Over Principles. My neighbors went homeless, born again Christians, the husband a computer industry worker. They lost their home and ended up renting. Another couple from my house lost their home and then went through an ugly divorce, they now rent. Good to see the Prez can laugh about Americans' misfortune. Shows he's a regular kind a guy.

[iamthepinkylifter]

...and YOU were pouring the liquor, asshole!

[jrg371]

ignorance is bliss, right?

[jrg371]

yes president bush is the only person to blame for all of America's problems...silly liberals

[weekdayyardsale]

B.U.S.H.

Bongsmoking

Unbelievable

Horrible

Sh*thead

[adisck]

bush is an intellectual (...)

[xanderxine]

wow the yanks have just got mobile phones with cameras! where are we 2008!! Jesus you think they would have had them when the rest of the world adopted the technology ten fucking years ago!!!

[artmonkey2006]

xanderxine, wtf are you babbling about?

We've had camera phones for YEARS now.

I, personally, had a sprint camera phone back in 2002. A model, by the way, that was not available in Europe until 2003.

Generally, Japan is the first to premier these new technologies, with the U.S. being their initial commercial test market. Because of this, Europe almost always FOLLOWS the U.S, in tech premiers.

So please explain what in blue blazes you're talking about, 'kay?

[jamesellisster]

What a fucking douche baq!! Making jokes about his own policies, if you voted for this dumbfuck then YES it is your fault. Deport him now!!

[Sorax777]

I don't understand how Americans vote for this guy.

Not once, BUT TWICE...

[LevarThomas]

His humor during these hard times for US Citizens is disgusting.

[rab2591]

Maybe if you had let your wife decide things from the start, there wouldn't be 4,000 bodybags coming home from Iraq. High gas prices, high food prices, job loss; all of this leading to a higher crime rate...but go ahead Mr. President, laugh about it...

[cowokdutch]

he is an clown...

[Silberdachs]

Bush is criminally pathetic.

[njreo]

The citizens of the United States who voted for this man should truly be ashamed of themselves. They are making a fuss about Obama not having traveled to Iraq in a few years and the fact that he never has been to Afghanistan.  Bush NEVER travelled outside of the USA until after he was appointed President by the Supreme Court. He can't speak English. He's a LIAR. He is guilty of the death of 4000 brave Americans. He truly should face a war crimes panel. Thank God he'll be gone in January.

[Kev50027]

Bush handled 9/11 perfectly, and gained much appreciation because of it, but now people are blaming hurricanes, the economy, and deaths on him. Guess what? Many of your liberal candidates said they would have gone to war as well, but then changed their mind as soon as the war looked like it would last longer than anticipated. I would rather have a president who sticks to his decisions than one who can't make up their mind, thank you.

[ChangeDaChannel]

Perfectly?????? You aint too bright now is ya?

[njreo]

Perfectly? He was sitting in a childs classroom and didn't leave when he was told what happened. Perfectly? He invaded Iraq instead of going after Osama Bin Laden. Perfectly? Do you remember "mission accomplished?" Perfectly? He sent the troops to Iraq without proper armour or support. Perfectly? Injured soldiers are not receiving the treatment they deserve. We should have gone after OSAMA. There was abolutely no reason to go to Iraq! Was Bush protecting his Daddies friends,the Bin Laden Family?

[sar27par]

Perfectly? You are as stupid as he is.

[chrisman737]

Kev50027, though I am an Independent I agree with many of your comments, most especially about 9/11. People act as if him staying in that classroom when told about the towers was such a horrible thing. What was he supposed to do, jump up and down and scream? There is a certain procedure and it was clearly followed. Vice President Cheney was in the White House and followed things closely. The invasion of Afghanistan also went about as good as anyone could have done it.

[maxime32]

The problem with you (and the republicans and most democrats) is that when disasters happen you say, 'We must go to war, somebody must pay for this!', without bothering to find the RIGHT TARGET!!! 1 million dead Iraqis are INNOCENT. The war is anti-Christian and immoral.

[wiremu]

Well said...

[nothankyoumam]

If Bush "handled 911 perfectly" as you say, please tell me why we invaded Iraq, which had nothing to do with 911? Please tell me why Osama Bin Laden, who did attack us on 911, is still alive and kicking and plotting to attack us again? Please tell me why we are now at risk of losing in Afghanistan, which served as Bin Laden's original base of operations and from which Bin Laden launched the 911 attacks against the US? I see nothing but folly, arrogance and ignorance in Bush's reaction to 911.

[philchacko]

hope this guy pays for the lives of 4000 soldiers and the enonomy.

[Aiursrage2k]

Whos fault is it, the people who took the loans they could not afford, the banks for not doing a good job making sure those who took loans could afford it. The government for bailing out the banks that failed.

[cardar33]

I'm glad that red car didn't run her over . . .

[bluerapsodie]

Are you folks laughing about what he just said? The ignorance is eating your brain....

[jbockmon]

i think he was the one that really had a hang over. lol

[bluerapsodie]

This guy deserve to be prosecuted for lie to the people and send our soldiers to Iraq to die ,with only purpose of get richer.His WORDS are a disrespectful statements to the humble family of workers all across USA.

[marc6724]

sad that he has to get drunk himself before he talks some sense...

[Imafruitcup]

yes Obama and his 28 percent tax on people who sell their homes and 16 percent tax raise for medicare that he plans to not add anything to, is a lot better way to go

[njreo]

Where do you get your figures? You believe the right wing lies. They got us into this trouble and you want to stick with them. I guess you get what you deserve, but it's a pity that the rest of us have to suffer as well.

[Kev50027]

You believe the left wing lies, you believe it's Bush's fault the economy is going downhill. If you look at history, it takes at least 10-15 years for a president's actions to take effect. The economy is not Bush's fault, it is the investors and Clinton's fault, as is the war (Clinton couldn't tie up loose ends).

[njreo]

You seem to believe anything that Rush Limbaugh, the druggie, throws at you. When will you learn that the corruption in this administration is the worst ever ... We have an energy crisis now ... Did Cheney's secret meeting with the Oil/Gas companies who set our "energy policy" have anything to do with it? Take a step back and THINK!

[artmonkey2006]

no njreao, You're right. It all stems from meetings Cheney had with a couple of energy CEO's. It had absolutely nothing at all to do with obstructionist DNC congress that won't let us drill for domestic oil, build refineries, build nuclear plants, use state lands for wind, solar, geothermal or hydro power, or increase production of oil shale mining.

No no... that has absolutely NOTHING to do with our energy crisis.

[zamoc]

I always knew that Bush was a (bad) stand-up comedian. It is a pity that the USA voters did not find that out earlier.

[oele50]

Same shit in holland my friends... lying and stealing politicians... greed rules at this moment in the US but it also suck's big time in Europe!!!

[lucasrem]

Bush is farout, we dont see politics like that in europe. We dont have oil dynasties, and personal interests with presidents.

America has a corrupt system, and that system is going to a meltdown. Freddy Mac/Fannie mae is allmost goverment, i dont think they get moer money from dubai or china for that!

We Bush is gone, you americans will pay the price, and in europe we have to suffer among.

[Kev50027]

Too bad the EU and UN are both far more corrupt than the US gov't. Want to talk about corrupt? How about Europe's socialist states? One small step from communism.

[kassandrasduplex]

Socialism has most European countries' standard of living far exceeding that of the Barbaric States of America. Socialism is not corrupt. Laissez faire crony capitalism is.

[smokeabowlus]

Amen. But americans, mostly conservatives, have had the fact that government is evil and can do no good (unless we are invading a country) so hammered into their heads, I dunno if it will work. At least until that generation dies off.

[njreo]

I agree with most of what you say except the term "Barbaric" ... that truly only belongs to the selfish morons in power at the moment. We will change things and become the great country we have been in the past.

[lucasrem]

Socilism is the best for europe, togetter you own stuff that the community shares togetter.

Thats more like many farmers own one combine to harvest, the community owns the combine.

With capitalism every farm has his own combine thats owned by the bank.

See the differences?

One step to communism? a big leap but i dont see the link.

[njreo]

How about healthcare for EVERYONE ... like they have in most European countries. How about taking good care of our citizens. How about respecting the elderly and allowing them to live with basic comforts ... this is the greatest country in the world .. or at least it was until Bush and his Repugnants took over. Change now, before it's too late!

[artmonkey2006]

"How about healthcare for EVERYONE..."

Hell yeah! How about 2 year waiting lists for terminal illnesses? How about social engineers deciding who deserves healthcare and who doesn't?

How about medical systems that overburden the tax base while taking all their medical developments for free from capitalist markets who develop them, then attacking those same markets?

Absolutely! Survival of the fittest, baby! Let the weak die off and tax the hell out of the rest! Go socialism! Yay!!!

[matrix21matrix]

BUSH?? - Buaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

BUSH = THE MAN WHO CRIPPLE THE ENTIRE WORLD.

NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE BLOWING THEIR BODIES UP,.. SO MANY KILLINGS AND STOCK FRAUD, UNTIL W-a BUSH PRESIDENCY.

[Kev50027]

oh right, it's definitely Bush's fault idiots like you strap bombs to their chest and want to kill innocent people in other countries. Want to talk about stock fraud? Let's take a look at John Kerry.

[lpmachado]

I bet its not so off the record as it may appear

[mannysCW1]

The only thing Wall Street got drunk on is Greed. In fact most of the United States has been drunk on greed for the last 30 years. Some of the biggest greedaholics are elected officials and government workers.

All this country needs to do is discourage greed, just a little bit, and encourage a little more belief in sacrificing for the common good and that will solve just about every problem in the country today.

[BadestManOnThePlanet]

Why cant the PRESIDENT say these things to the american public..He admits that these things are happening only in private!! It wouldnt be so bad if he aknowledged these things to someone other than the asskissing press.

[Kev50027]

It was a joke. He was making light of things. If he knew idiots like you would find out about it, he wouldnt say it. He's a funny guy, give him a break.

[BadestManOnThePlanet]

HAHAH thousands of american soldiers dead. Trillions of dollars in debt. Wire tapping and Tax cuts for the rich.

Youre right. This guy is HILARIOUS.

[roosh4]

i don't know what's worse... bush's joking or the entire press corps laughing along with him. both are out of touch, and both failed america

[terradyne17]

"... do all these fancy financial instruments"??

You fucking worthless idiot.

Dallas huh?

[Weaseldog2001]

Yeah, if you're a billionaire, you'll have no problem finding distressed properties here.

Yeah, Laura faces the same problems the working man does, when she's shopping for a new home.

[otavallai]

Wall Street got drunk... Pennsylvania Avenue was tending the bar.

BLOODY REVOLUTION.

[intelasys]

Wall Street has very little to do with this crisis. The typical hedonistic individuals within our country overspent! They signed loan documents for mortgages they couldn't afford, and they knew it (reason stated income doesn't fly anymore). They were counting on the market to move up, and didn't think about the consequences of high interest rates. Not only do they struggle with their mortgages, but all other loans (credit cards, auto, etc). LESSON: DON'T SPEND WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE!!!!!

[Weaseldog2001]

That's why we have to bail out the banks.

They were helpless in this situation. People wanted to borrow money and the bankers are required to always give their money away.

Now because Joe-Six Pack forced the banks to loan him money, when the bankers knew better, the taxpayers are on the hook for $5 trillion in bad loans.

[KLHENT]

Oh piss off, He happened to be right. He didn't put us in this recession, Congress did. It was congress that insisted that we put all these stupid ass home loans in the market. People can't pay for their loans that they knew they couldn't afford in the first damn place? You know why they haven't taken a house from me? Because I didn't take the bait. I knew that My Ex Wife and I couldn't afford what was being offered, an so I didn't buy it.

[vman2957]

Exact.....

[Weaseldog2001]

Exactly. It's not like he signed all those bills into law.

It's not like he has the power of the veto.

It's not as if he's one of the leaders of the Republican Party.

[Capnwabbit]

It goes much deeper, down to the creation of the Federal Reserve in the first place - but his inflationary war was a major cause of the current crisis. Did you think wars were free, just because your taxes didn't go up? Actually they did, the tax of "inflation".

[honestly34]

haha he's so fricken funny, haha. Should be a comedian or something.

[hollyhoodjoe123]

This is sicken. First he jokes about the housing crisis in which people are losing their home daily. Then, he jokes about his poor decision-making that place us in this recession.

*sigh*
