He’s thinking “Hey, who’s that black fella who keeps following me?”.

Maybe the United Nations will solve our financial crisis. After all, they were so successful in East Timor, Srebrenica, Congo, Bosnia…

Anyway, is Bush the stupidest president in history or what? He must have cow shit for brains. Of course, Texas is one of the dumbest states in the union, too, so it’s not surpriseing.

Gee, Gore and Kerry must be quite embarassed that neither of them could beat him. Gore, who invented the Internet and Kerry who sailed up a Cambodian river to single-handedly defeat Colonel Kurtz and Dennis Hopper, yet neither had the intestinal fortitude to take out Dubya. Sad.

Walking away from that corrupt den of thieves a better representation would be to have the shadow of Bush giving UN members the bird.

I would rather have a president that many think is stupid (but he did graduate from Yale and managed to get elected gov of Texas and POTUS 2 times, what have you done except sit in your mom’s basement and blog???) and live in a country where I can walk down the street without car bombs going off than live in a country that praises the thieves called the UN. What have they ever touched that didn’t turn to crap?

Everyone blames Bush for everything, who has prevented any meaningful laws from passing in the past 2 years? Who has an approval rating less than half of the POTUS? Why won’t your wonderful Nancy Pelosi let us drill for oil? Hell why won’t they let the will of the American people be heard and let there be a vote on what the vast majority of the citizens want? Are they representatives or dictators? I hope when your messiah Obama loses the election you will all just STFU and realize if you want socialism you will need to pack your bags and GTFO.

I think the nutballs who whimper about their Fearless Leader being slandered have just proven once again – winning elections doesn’t mean you’re not a Loser.

He can cast a shadow? Wow, he’s qualified to be President. Does Palin cast a shadow too?

#4: “I hope when your messiah Obama loses the election you will all just STFU and realize if you want socialism you will need to pack your bags and GTFO.”

You mean as opposed to the socialist policy proposal of your boy, Bush, to have the government bailout the financial institutions without oversight by anyone? Actually, that combination is socialist AND totalitarian.

# 10 Springheel Jack said, on September 25th, 2008 at 4:26 am

I don’t think Nobama is going to lose. McSame’s campaign seems to be imploding with more energy than a blue giant star undergoing full core collapse.

# 11 contempt said, on September 25th, 2008 at 4:26 am

#9 Uncle Dave

You are right – the bailout is pure socialism and unfair to the taxpayers.

On the other side of the coin it should be stated that Bush tried to fix this before it turned into this mess we see today. The Democrat congress halted his attempt with Barney Frank(D-MA) leading the way.

# 12 BigCarbonFoot said, on September 25th, 2008 at 4:26 am

#6 – 9/11 was mostly Clinton’s fault. Another soft leftie who wanted to treat terrorists as simple criminals. Because of all the grand juries to protect their “rights” the various agencies could not share info. The clues to the upcoming 9/11 were there but no one was allowed to put them together.

Voting for Obama because you don’t like McCain I can understand. Voting for Obama because you think he would be a good POTUS is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

# 15 BigBoyBC said, on September 25th, 2008 at 4:39 am

I’ve never been a fan of President Bush, but my late Stepfather, a retired Army officer, when asked how he could serve under a President he didn’t like, told me:

“It doesn’t matter if you respect the man or if the man respects you. You always give him the respect his position deserves…”

For good or for bad, he is our President, we should respect the position, even if we don’t respect the man.

It would be easy to blame all the bad in the world, that has happened in the last 8-years, to GWB and his cronies. But I don’t think that would be fair or accurate. We can point the finger of blame at a whole lot of people, in both parties, and maybe to some extent ourselves.

I, like many, don’t like the choice of candidates we have to select from to be our next President. But, I for one, regardless of who it is, will give them the respect their position deserve, even if they don’t give me the same respect back.

I hope that all of you might consider doing the same thing or at least give it a try.

# 16 tratfor said, on September 25th, 2008 at 4:48 am

Why are they giving George W, Bush such a hard time ?
Can you imagine if Al Gore had been made president ?
It was such a close race – hanging shards and all

# 17 amodedoma said, on September 25th, 2008 at 4:48 am

JEEEZUSSS! I just saw the ‘approve my plan or you’ll all be screwed speech’! Up til now this was all very entertaining but this clown is starting to scare me. If the prez. goes on TV and comes out saying shit like that, trying to scare the people into saving his friends. I mean use your memory – did his famous economic stimulus package do anything positive for the nation?, apart from substancially increase the debt with China? He’s setting the scene, and it’s grim indeed, talking about lots of banks closing and foreclosures and fire and brimstone and appocalypse. That means regardless of his plan it’s gonna happen anyways.

Dear god, please save the Americans from their president…..

#15, BigBoyBC – Bush might have EARNED RESPECT if he had used the Office of the President in a RESPECTFUL MANNER, BUT THAT WAS ***NOT THE CASE*** !!! He and Cheney and the other NEO-CON NUTJOBS AND WHACKOS DID THEIR DANMDEST TO ***DESTROY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES*** !!! You know, the one all of those REPUKE PRICKS ***SWORE TO UPHOLD*** !!! But seeing that Bush and his CRONIES think that the Constitution is “Just a God-damned piece of paper”, it is no wonder that they WENT ON A RAMPAGE OF ***ILLEGAL WAR***, GENOCIDE, AND TRIED TO ***STEAL THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES TREASURY*** !!! We can RESPECT THE OFFICE, BUT THE OFFICE HOLDER HAS TO ***EARN OUR RESPECT*** !!!

#12, iHotAir,

…is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

Easily understood. It takes a certain degree, although not too much, for people to begin to comprehend anything. Which, by the way, quite plainly explains your lack of comprehension on most things including the correct way to hold the toothpaste tube when squeezing.

# 26 Matt Garrett said, on September 25th, 2008 at 5:47 am

I long for the days when politics wasn’t a never ending exercise in personal attacks and destruction. We’ve learned nothing since the days of Jefferson and Adams other than how petty people can be.

#20, JimD,

OK, slow down, take a deep breath. Please, stop capitalizing and using garbage grammar. It makes your posts difficult to read and I am not paid, nor am I in the mood, to sift through them looking for something relevant.

Many times in the past you have shown us you can be quite intelligent and relevant. Please Jim, don’t hide your points under your emotion.

I’m looking forward to the next president as well, but we need to be careful. We do a dis-service to history if we ignore the positive things that have happened during the Bush administration.

I am actually fairly concerned about this because I honestly can’t think of any. The man has been in office for nearly eight years and this entire time someone mentioned something I thought was a good thing he did once and I can’t even remember what it was…

I know that the main problem I’m having with this is that the positive things are buried under piles and piles of things that have hurt me to the core.

I spent three years in the Navy and took it VERY seriously when I pledged to defend the constitution. When I hear an undercurrent suggesting that if you disagree with the President you’re un-patriotic or un-American it hurts. When I hear the justification for warrant-less wiretapping that if the person being bugged isn’t guilty they have nothing to worry about it actually makes me want to cry. When I heard that this current bail-out scheme one section is entirely composed of language saying there will be no oversight I wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time. When I hear about torture being authorized to be used in the “war on terror” I want to scream. (And don’t try to play the rationalization game where you try to re-define the word “torture.” I’m not buying. The things they were and, most likely, still are doing are violations of the Geneva Convention and are not only immoral but proven HIGHLY ineffective.)

On the other side, I do get frustrated with people on the right who call the WAR illegal. It was duly authorized by Congress and so the WAR is not illegal even if the way they wage it is. I’m even fairly convinced that even though it is currently un-popular that it wasn’t entirely unjustified. It may not have been justified for the reasons they gave, but the more I know about what was going on at the time the more I learn that I really don’t know, but there are hints of things that my hunch suggests actually justify the invasion. I’m not particularly happy about how the UN was handled, but that’s something else entirely.

“I spent three years in the Navy and took it VERY seriously when I pledged to defend the constitution.”

My Dad was in the Canadian Air Force, my Grandfather fought at Vimy Ridge so, while I’m not a American, your commitment to your country is honorable and I thank you for that.

“When I hear an undercurrent suggesting that if you disagree with the President you’re un-patriotic or un-American it hurts.”

Right on !!

Thanks again,

Economic Meltdown – the final layer of turd icing on the George Bush sh*t cake.

# 34 Carcarius said, on September 25th, 2008 at 7:02 am

Maybe one way to assist the ailing homeowner would be to convert teir interest-paid into principal-paid. The unpaid principal may be closer to the actual value of the home. Wipe the interest-paid away. Re-set the mortgage to the new value (unpaid principle) and start up a new mortgage with a fair interest rate. This may make sense for homes bought within 5 years.

This would could help the homeowner without giving them a free ride. This of course should only be considered along with some of the other amendments proposed by congress (no blank check, no golden parachutes, assistance to taxpayers, etc).

Crazy I know, but so is the $700B bailout.

>Economic Meltdown – the final layer of turd icing on the George Bush sh*t cake

From the NEw York Times in 2003

The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.

Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.

The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios.

…
”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

C’mon, George has been doing the work of three men. Mind you, they’re Larry, Moe and Curly.
The Palin/McCain ticket cannot do well because they are intrinsically linked with Bush and that cannot, and should not, be forgotten.
In the near future I’m looking forward to what George is going to do with his Liebrary. That will be fun to watch.

# 12. Wrong. The clues were there, W chose to ignore them. Now he wants to scare everyone into believing that quick approval of a bailout package which has NO OVERSIGHT is a good idea.

#31, Alex,

The man has been in office for nearly eight years and this entire time someone mentioned something I thought was a good thing he did once and I can’t even remember what it was…

I heard the same thing. Once. I think it was “he always leaves the toilet seat up so the next guy doesn’t have to lift it”.

I know that the main problem I’m having with this is that the positive things are buried under piles and piles of things that have hurt me to the core.

And here I thought it was Cheney that liked the “Hot Carls”. So they BOTH like to give them???

# 41 Mr. Fusion said, on September 25th, 2008 at 12:50 pm

#35, Lyin’ Mike,

Still up to your old tricks.

The plan was to reduce the amount of regulation and oversight the two were operated under. This would have allowed them to ignore the lower profit small mortgages and go after the larger mortgages. Those are the mortgages that are suffering the highest rate of failure and are what have done in the investment banks, Countrywide, and AIG. The smaller mortgages are not suffering the same rate of failure as are the larger one.

If the Republicans who controlled both houses of Congress and the White House wanted to pass this bill they would have. This was still deregulation or as it is now known, just another pig wearing lipstick.

# 42 zorkor said, on September 25th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Good riddance. This president gave nothing to the world except pain and death. America had lots of friends when the 911 terrorists attacks happened. Even in the Muslim world they were on the US side to eliminate the terror. And now? US will be hard pressed to find an ally now. Everyone is making excuses not to join the lies created by the US just to invade already poor 6th world countries.

Man if Mcain comes, things will turn for the worse.

# 44 MikeN said, on September 25th, 2008 at 6:21 pm

Nice try Fusion. For months now, you and the others on this site were complaining about banks giving out loans to people who couldn’t afford them, now suddenly it is the high-income big mortgages that are the problem? Sup-prime means big mortgages?

It’s Reagan’s fault for pulling us out of Lebanon. ‘Terrorists’ (and most Middle Eastern and Eastern Europeans) tend to have long memories. How long has Shiia/Sunni (sp? Hey, I’m American!) rivalry been going? 1200 yrs?

# 46 BigCarbonFoot said, on September 26th, 2008 at 3:49 am

That’s true, you can link back, but keep going – Reagan was elected to clean up Carter’s messes.

At the moment Carter is excited, because a few years from now Obama will take the lead as worst POTUS in history.

Fusion, I lob you a softball and that’s all you got. Give me a candidate that understand the real American Dream – at least two houses and multiple personally owned vehicles to drive between them for every family.
