When Bush was in office...

[JakeStarkey]

The private sector lost more than 2 million jobs from 1 January to 31 March 2009 thanks to the GOP's economic policies from 1994 forward. Thanks Bush!

We need Romney but not Bush economic policies.

This video is a thread to itself

Who was president during 2009! NOT Bush!
I mean we've spent $1 trillion trying to correct what BUSH wanted corrected
Fannie/Freddie giving Federal guarantee on SUBPRIME LOANS that should never been made just because Obama in 1995 convinced Citibank they would be such great protests against courtesy of ACORN that Citibank started making bad loans.
Tell me what YOU would have done then when the FDIC comes in and says YOU can't have these bad loans on the books!
So what would you do? Citibank et.al. complained and as a result Fannie/Freddie securitized and sold bad loans which then caused the collapse!

How do you explain this quote which was used to justify selling the bad loans???

Oct. 23,2008 (Bloomberg) --
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have an ``effective'' federal guarantee, not the
"full faith and credit'' of the U.S. government, Federal Housing Finance Agency
Director James Lockhart said after the hearing.
That does give them effectively a guarantee of the U.S. government.''
Lockhart's Fannie, Freddie Guarantee Remarks Stir Up Confusion - Bloomberg

So tell me if the FDIC tells you sell bad loans, CRA says you must make bad loans what would you do? Sell them ONLY if guaranteed by Govt.! See above!

 

[JakeStarkey]

And then you use material prior to 2009.

Come on, healthmyths, the GOP and Bush and Clinton were a disaster economically for the country before January 2009. We can jump on Obama for his policies all we want, but we can't lump our failings on him, too.

 

[BlindBoo]

There was a reason. You just disagree with Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Kennedy, etc, as to that reason.


See above.

As would any thinking person

Now, how about -you- defend The Obama's failures without referring to the previous administration.

Sorry champ but Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Kennedy, etc were not given the deciding power to determine if Iraq was a threat or if they were involved in 9-11. President Bush was. He and his administration did not present the American people or Congress all the facts that were known about Saddam and his abandoned WMD programs. Those are the lies that destroyed his presidency, his legacy, and our reputation in the world.

Again, more lies. Kerry, Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton, Gore, other world leaders and many high ranking Democrats believed as did Bush that Iraq had WMDs. It was based on intelligence gathered by not just this country but others. The United Nations also thought Iraq possessed WMDs. So spare us your blind BS.

Comprehension problems? Who cares what others thought. The CiC was given the power, er, responsibility to decide. The UN was not buying into the Bush Bullshit either or else they wouldn't have authorized more inspections with SCR1441. Furthermore the head of the CIA breifed President Bush in september of 2002 that Iraq had no WMD. He of course ignored it and didn't tell congress what he was told.

You obviously did not comprehend context in which this was brought up....

I understood perfectly.

 

[Papageorgio]

Did you?

I would say that's seems reasonable, Reagan raised taxes, had high unemployment... and now he's become the icon of the Republian Party. I could see Obama becoming the democrats Reagan.

We are talking about Bush's legacy, not Obama. Clinton is closer to the Democrats Reagan, Obama is the next Carter.

I think Clinton could have been their Reagan, if not for the whole horn dog thing. Again, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. I really think a lot hinges on reelection. If Obama becomes a one term president, he may go down as a failure, if he wins then I think it's far more likely he could become the democrats Reagan.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

Clearly not, given your rabid-dog partisan response.

Clearly he doesn't understand the power Congress abdicated to President Bush in the Joint Resolution so why expect him to understand what the condition were?

Clearly, YOU don't understand that your statement has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation.
Thus, your rabid-dog partisan response.

[Inthemiddle]

When Bush was in office, every defense the right had for him started with the words "When Clinton was in office."

 

[lovemymutts]

President Romney will restore some sanity - and some respect - in the White House. It's nothing but a spend, spend, spend orgy right now, run by the biggest bunch of bumbling idiots since the Carter Admin.

OUT THE FUCKING DOOR IN NOVEMBER !!!!

[NYcarbineer]

Barely into Ronald Reagan's 1984 convention speech and what did we get?

Our opponents began this campaign hoping that America has a poor memory. Well, let's take them on a little stroll down memory lane. Let's remind them of how a 4.8-percent inflation rate in 1976 became back-to-back years of double-digit inflation -- the worst since World War I -- punishing the poor and the elderly, young couples striving to start their new lives, and working people struggling to make ends meet.

and

Inflation was not some plague borne on the wind; it was a deliberate part of their official economic policy, needed, they said, to maintain prosperity. They didn't tell us that with it would come the highest interest rates since the Civil War. As average monthly mortgage payments more than doubled, home building nearly ground to a halt; tens of thousands of carpenters and others were thrown out of work.

and on and on

Read it here, and count how many times Reagan talks about the prior administration and the problems they left for poor Ron.

[Too Tall]

When Bush was in office....

We didn't have class warfare--Nor do we now

We didn't have 50% of the population taking government handouts Thanks to the "tough situation" he caused, more are in need of assistance than ever before

We didn't worry about transparency Amazing how you discovered transparency when Obama was elected.

There was integrity in the White HouseThe same white house that allowed the lies about Pat Tillman's death to go unpunished

We had a budget every year Yeah, most didn't have the Iraq War on them

People were patrioticand flying their flags Yeah because we were upset at the terrorist attacks that happened on his watch

There was no OWS then again, Wall Street hadn't fleeced the public for TARP until Bush was going out the door.

Our credit rating had not been downgraded That much is true; that happened under Obama

We didn't increase the deficit by 5 trillion dollars When the bill came due for 2 unfunded wars and Medicare Part D, Bush was gone; you're right.

The president never sued any states Wow..really?

The man in the Oval Office loved America He still does.

Just some of the things that follows those five little words.

You left out the thousands of deaths for no reason in Iraq, the hundreds of thousands of deaths of Iraqi citizens, that he couldn't find OBL even saying he didn't care about it at one point, his wishing to privatized Social Security--and that would have lead to a total wipe out of millions thanks to the 512 point drop that occurred on his watch--it's a good thing smarter heads prevailed.

I would have been very happy to have been investing 10% of my Soc Sec payroll tax into the stock market when it was at 7,000. Investing a set amount monthly or quarterly is called dollar cost averaging, and I have done that for years with my own money. I would have made a helluva lot more money for my retirement had Bush got the scumbags to privatize Soc Sec. And, you would have done the same if you had a job.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You would have lost 48% of your investment, investment guy.

Clinton was a tax raising failure his first two years. When the Republicans took over with a landslide in 1994, Clinton was enough of a politician to jump on the bandwagon and take credit for the bills the Republicans passed. He spent a lot of time talking to and dealing with the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the Senate getting some of his ideas in their bills.

Obama can't be bothered talking to the Speaker more than once or twice a year and instructs the Majority Leader of the Senate (a Dem) to block every bill sent from the House and then blame the Republicans. He hasn't learned in four years what Clinton learned in two. Obama wouldn't make a pimple on Reagan's or Clinton's butt.
