Bush did not break it over night

[LordBrownTrout]

You can start your blame with Carter and work your way through each administration and lay blame. O has spent 5 trillion so he shoulders a huge share of the blame also.

The entire Government. They're running out of places to kick the can.

Obama has failed big time....
Bush didn't break it....the dem congress did. Our country crashed after they took over congress...
If you think Bush broke it...then Obama has obliterated it! He's the biggest FAILURE ever, and i think worse than Carter. But you go ahead and believe what you want....

Unbelievable...almost 4 yrs later and it's STILL BUSH'S FAULT! When is your president going to admit he's failed at ANYTHING? Moron....................

I wish I could take your tact but Bush did sign the spending into law. He did have a hard time on finding his Veto pen on a myriad of Domestic issues.

On whole? The entire government has let us down, and even the people by voting in poseurs that refuse to follow the Constitution.

Bush did not break it over night

Let’s assume Bush didn’t ‘break it’ either, that the December 2007 recession was decades in the making, the consequence of many policy decisions.

In this context the premise is still valid: that it’s inane to expect Obama to ‘fix’ a problem years, perhaps decades, in the making.

BUSH DID NOT BREAK IT OVER NIGHT

So why should we expect Obama to fix over night what Bush took 8 years to break?
The problem is, he is fixing it and the RRWE don’t want to give him credit for fixing it and use it as an excuse to get him out of office. But the American are not stupid as they think and they know that facts show Obama has not failed.
My son in law just go laid off his job at a printing office and it is not Obama's fault. More people have home printers. He lost is job but makers of home printer hired a few more. Obama don't get credit for that either. Obama don’t get credit for every jobs lost or every job created

obama couldn't fix a hang nail if you gave him 40 years. We're done with that hope and change shit.

If Obama had a hangnail, he'd blame it on Bush.

But in the meantime, don't you think he should be meeting with his Jobs Council?

This disaster wasn't started or caused by Bush. It has been decades in the making and cuts to the very core of our culture - borrow money and spend it on crap. Keep borrowing until you can no longer pay it back, then get bailed out. Consumers and businesses alike, for decades. Narcissistic, uncontrolled consumerism based on nothing. Rampant greed and corruption from Wall Street to Washington DC.

The chickens have come home to roost, we're far from done with this, and all the finger-pointing in the world is not going to fix it. One good place to start is the mirror. We can choose to continue down the same path, or we can choose to get our shit together financially.

The political affiliation of the White House occupant is irrelevant. This is far bigger than that.

.

Yep it is bigger than the WH, however it serves the interest of those really running this country to keep the people fixated on the president.

Stoopit sheeple.

why? Anything he proposes will be shot down by the republican controlled house.
They are on their 33rd attempt to kill the AHCA.

 

[GoneBezerk]

Obamination has played golf 100x more than he has met wih his Jobs Council, that pretty much sums up how important fixing the economy is to him.

Hint: he wants the system to implode, that's what his handlers told him to do....tear it down to rebuild it their way.

Well any House bill approved would simply be shot down by Harry Reid's do nothing controlled senate. How many bills has Harry refused to bring for a vote?

Another idiot pretending they have a grasp on reality.

We already know you lack said intelligence to bother explaining how the dem congress played no role.

Fuck why are democrats so stupid?

He has refused to bring 25 jobs bills, that were voted on by the house, to the senate floor for debate.

When Bush took office we had the wind down of the Y2K scare which resulted in a lot of layoffs. When Bush took office we had the dot com crash. Shortly after Bush took office our financial insitutions took a big hit on 9/11. Did the world come crashing to a halt? No, did the economy stumble a bit, yes. But we recovered and the unemployment rate remained low, UNTIL something very bad happened in 2006 which no president could recover, the democrats took control. Two years later the economy is in the dumpster and we are now in the longest and weakest recovery in the history of the nation, all under democrat control. Yet you still want to blame Bush, quite remarkable. Oh and don't forget the 4 trillion dollars in debt your grandchildren had added to them all to maintain an 8 percent unemployment rate, and of course bail out the big boys.

The Pre-Pelosi Era will be remembered as the good old days.

Prior to her taking charge, we had virtual full employment, a record 52 months or job growth, record DOW, record tax receipts to the Federal treasury, record GDP, and EVERYONE paying a lower tax rate to the Fed than they did under Clinton, even though we raised more tax revenues, and the rich paid a record amount and a record share of that amount AFTER the Bush tax cuts.

ahhh. the good ol' days.

As of 2010? It was 290...Looking for accurate count. I know it's gone up.

Just tell me one thing lefties, why did Barney Frank tell America that Fannie Mae was doing fine whenit was on the verge of collapse? As House banking chairman Frank had oversight responsibility for the peculiar partnership between government and private lending called Fannie Mae. What was the first thing democrats addressed when they gained the majority in both houses during Bush's 2nd term? The debt? Fannie Mae? The economy? Nope, they went after baseball players who were accused of using steroids. My point is that the left conveniently forgot that Bush was dealing with a hostile majority in both houses for his last two years and democrats conspired to undermine the Military effort as well as ruin the economy to pave the way for Obama's socialist revolution.

And you do note that Dodd bailed as he stated the same...Bawney Fwank hasn't the heart to run again either.

I'd like to see them BOTH frogmarched for the damage they've done.

Changed to help expedite their wind down...

Fannie, Freddie stock agreements changed
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Preferred stock purchase agreements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were changed to help expedite their wind down, the U.S. Treasury Department said.

The modifications also will help ensure the money from the government-sponsored enterprises benefits taxpayers while ensuring access to mortgage credit, the department said Friday in a release.

"With today's announcement, we are taking the next step toward responsibly winding down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while continuing to support the necessary process of repair and recovery in the housing market," said Michael Stegman, the department's counselor housing finance policy. "As we continue to work toward bipartisan housing finance reform, we are committed to putting in place measures right now that support continued access to mortgage credit for American families, promote a responsible transition, and protect taxpayer interests."

Among other things Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's investment portfolios will now be wound down at an annual rate of 15 percent, up from the 10 percent annual reduction required in the previous agreements. As a result of this change, the portfolios must be reduced to the $250 billion target that was established in previous agreements four years earlier than previously scheduled.

The changes also require reporting and will replace the 10 percent dividend payments made to Treasury on its preferred stock investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a quarterly sweep, the department said.

You can tell almost to the minute when Bush slid off. Most never talk about when GW got lymes disease.
