Sure, everything wrong with the world, weather, etc. is W's fault. So who cares... looking at things right now and going foward it is Congress and the current administration that has us on a path to ruin. Let's forget blame and do things for future growth and stability.

Agree. But first you have to stop the bus from going over the side of the mountain, after the bus driver jumped after he blew the engine, the tires, fried the brakes and strapped down the steering wheel before jumping taking all the spares with him.

That would be fine, but most of US are not Democrats and most of US are not Republicans.

So I suppose tolerating the crooks who are Republicans and/or Democrats is the failure point of the citizens?

"In October, Barack Obama told a San Francisco audience about what it was like trying to deal with an economy he’d inherited in smoking ruins last January. “I'm busy … cleaning up somebody else's mess,” he said. “We don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way… That's a socialist mop." As the audience applauded the line, Obama challenged Republicans to "Grab a mop, let's get to work."

This Is George Bush's Recession: Why Doesn't Anybody Talk About That? | Politics | AlterNet

This entire premise is retarded, and it's time for you crybaby Democrats to stop bawling about a President who left office a year ago.

This is NOT "George Bush's Recession". The economy is exactly where it started going 10 years ago when mortgage loans started being pushed onto people who should never have bought houses in the first place.


On the other hand, for those of us who were NOT stupid enough to take 0% down adjustable-rate mortgage loans, the current falling out of those who did is providing a wonderful opportunity for investment in cut-rate real estate. I bought two houses recently, and am in the market to buy 2-3 more. In 5-10 years, I will have more than doubled my money.


It must really suck to be so ignorant about business, finance and economics.

These 'crybabies' as you call them are American citizens who finally see Bush for what he was.....a corrupt moron.

While not entirely Bush Recession he did pave the way for the robbing of the U.S Treasury by Wall Street and the mega rich.

Not everyone was as well educated as you so quit patting yourself on the back for others misfortune.


It must really suck to be so ignorant about business, finance and economics. And it must suck to be as arrogant as you are.

I read your comments in red, and I stand by my original post.

Here's a little heads up for you: The President of the United States doesn't make people either rich or poor. If you make incredibly stupid financial choices, that's your own fault.


By the way, George Bush is a graduate of BOTH Yale and Harvard? I'd bet my bottom dollar that you are NOT. So... If he is a moron, what does that make you?

hmmm, probably someone who did not pay Harvard to be awarded "Gentlemen C's."

Do you follow how stupid W had to be for that?

Under that "operating system," you basically cannot flunk out even if you are usually too drunk to attend class.
