Maybe it is time for Barney Frank and some other people in congress that caused this mess to shut up and let someone else talk for a while. Now that would be a change I could believe in.
Never mind that Clinton had already been warned that the terrorists were plotting to use commercial aircraft to fly into skyscrapers, but took no preventative action; that under Clinton's watch, the USS Cole was bombed and we did nothing; that under Clinton's watch, terrorists had already once bombed the WTC; that under Clinton's watch a small group of Muslim men were taking flying lessons in Florida, but didn't care to learn how to land (red flag anyone?); that Clinton was offered Osama Bin Laden, but didn't want him; that under Clinton's watch, Ramzi Yousef, who had entered the US on an Iraqi Passport, plotted in 1995 to blow up eleven commercial jet aircraft in one day, but we didn't get the hint..
nice deflection but the point is still happened under Bushs watch. Eight months was plenty of time for his administration to
have taken corrective action if they felt necessary. Bush administration new all about it.FBI Knew Terrorists Were Using Flight Schools (washingtonpost.com)

He asks for information, and one morning at a briefing at his ranch in Texas is given a report, which contained information previously given to Bill Clinton, that terrorists were intending to use commercial aircraft to fly into skyscrapers (This report was used against GWB, erroneously reported as a new threat received which the anti-Bush crowd gleefully said he ignored, and was the reason we were not prepared for 9/11, but it was old information which Clinton had known about)..
Yes it is 20/20 but when you say he kept us safe that certainly is not true. You can't change the fact that the Bush administration didn't do anything more than the Clintons before the attack so stop defending Bush.

Yeah like the buhies have been doing since.

But, hey, you people love blaming GWB for everything. It's you're particular way of sticking your head in the sand. So, be my guest. Keep deluding yourself. Your Messiah has come, and he will make all things new.
Only blaming him for what happened during his preidency. I see that it hurrts because there is a lot to blame.
"[A] step in the right direction"? We're going backwords, and stepping into socialism?
What is the matter with you people?
It is the aim of the Democrats to destroy this country and destroy our capitalist system. Just look at what they are doing with this PORK BILL they are shoving down our throats!
Dang! Will you people WAKE UP? Become informed. Obama and the Democrats are the enemy of this country!
You tell us to wake up but listen to the garbage that you just posted. Democrats love our country and are trying to put us back on track after the 30 year expirement of deregulation, that has driven us to our lowest point since the last time they drove us here almost 80 years ago.
I guess the worst attack on american soil since pearl harbor didn't happen on bushs watch?
Once again, you display the ignorance that makes you a perfect Democrat...
All that was planned on Felonious Bill's watch... They slipped in just after Bill left. They figured they had time, thinking bloated fool Algore might win...
They had to hurry, because they knew big George wouldn't put up with them...
Barney is trying to deflect attention away from his involvement in the Fannie Mae debacle. At the time Barney was making decisions that led to the real estate crash he was dating the head of Fannie Mae....
It is tough to listen to Barney. The muscle relaxants he takes cause him to slur his speech...
Watch, listen, learn. Video of our Representatives in action.
It's a heavily spliced and edited version of footage from hearings in September 2003 looking into whether the GSE's conformed to generally accepted accounting principles in preparing their annual financial reports. The makers of the video went to great lengths to conceal the fact. They want you to think that people are talking about dangerous loans to people who are bad credit risks. They aren't, and if you thought so, you fell for it...
