Either they lay off a couple or the entire company goes down. That is how is works. Just numbers? Really? Maybe in your company but not mine.

Well duh. It wasn't until September of 2008 when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failed that the economy started taking a dive.

But that's nice: Bush practically clips the wings of the plane, then the plane drops 5,000 feet in altitude as it dives right into the ocean, and then he gives control to Obama, at which point the plane falls another 10,000 feet as it has no wings, so logically, we should blame Obama for dropping us 10,000 feet... Clearly its his fault!

Conservative logic at its finest.

You are all wrong. Bush and Obama have little impact on the economy. So funny you should say what you did because the wings of the plane were clipped by clinton when he signed a bill allowing people to get loans they should never have had. Point that finger at yourself. PWND!!

Sorry, but I never took out a loan, so PWN yourself for making dumb-ass assumptions about people you know nothing about.
Also, if Bush was such a hero, he could have fixed "Clinton's mistakes" that you point out in the first place.

The only one getting PWND here is Bush's supporters. Every day they come up with a new dumb-ass argument, trying to paint Obama as elitist or racist, or a terrorist, or claiming he wasn't even a natural born... pathetic...
