So the answer is yes. It is Bush's fault. Bush, like McCain, does not have the ability to understand an issue to act wisely and for the long term. They just listen to their special interest lobbyist advisors. The special interest line their pockets while we reap the consequences down the line (see $/barrel oil and TRILLON $$ bailout)

Oh, so that's why she couldn't make more money in 8 years, got it.

Heck, I would fully support having to have an IQ test before taking out a mortgage, or having children, or even voting (which would clear out stupidity on both parties) but that wouldn't be right would it? Maybe right to me, but not right to impose on others.
Ya know, we just have to quit mentioning that HUGE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of OUR TAX money that the WHOLE government gave the wealthiest Americans.....the repubs get so QUIET whenever it's brought up.

YouTube - BRAINWASHED OBAMA Supporter... This is CRAZY!!!
If she was a McCain supporter saying the exact same thing, you would interpret it as, With my candidate, things are going to get better, and i wont have to worry about keeping my job, my kids in school and paying my bills.

So I will take it, that is what she meant, that things are going to get better, since the youtube hack was edited from a longer news piece, and we don't know all of what she said.

I'd love to see exxon or any US company make all of the $1 income. There's nothing with making money. But there is something wrong when it's made off the backs of the middle class.

What % of the family income is spent gas and food now compared to 8 years ago?

Written by the dems and of course they add PORK to everything they do.

Just like the stimulous checks, they stalled it out and sucked it down until even the loser welfare types got money, stealing even from us who work and pay taxes.

This bailout was done because of three people Dodd, Frank and Obama. All loons.
