Obama goes prime-time to pitch healthcare - UPI.com

So Obama said the stimulus would make sure unemployment wouldn't go over 8 percent, and now it's almost at 10 percent. He said the economy was the worst since the Great Depression, then he said shortly thereafter that it was even worse than they thought. Then his VP says we'd better keep spending money or we'll go bankrupt.

And tonight, he's going to actually look us in the eyes and tell us how he saved us from a worse recession? As if could even know that if it wastrue.

I tell you, someone's got to be 12 shades of stupid to believe anything this dude says.

Were we not told by the Bush administration last September that the economy was about to implode? Obama deserves credit for avoiding that nightmare, caused by Republican greed and ignorance.

Bush was wrong then too. He Panicked in his last months in office. Obama is just now beginning to panic.

Actually, it was February, and Dear Leader, that made that fatuous claim.

Barack Obama - The Action Americans Need

His solution was the slow-motion stimulus that doesn't spend much until after the mid-term elections. That's his idea of timely stimulus to repair an economy that's deteriorating daily.

Dear Leader told you the sky was falling, and you believe him.

Bush Officials Urge Swift Action on Rescue Powers
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration, moving to prevent an economic cataclysm, urged Congress on Friday to grant it far-reaching emergency powers to buy hundreds of billions of dollars in distressed mortgages despite many unknowns about how the plan would work.
At the end of a week that will be long remembered for the wrenching changes it brought to Wall Street and Washington, Mr. Paulson and Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, told lawmakers that the financial system had come perilously close to collapse. According to notes taken by one participant in a call to House members, Mr. Paulson said that the failure to pass a broad rescue plan would lead to nothing short of disaster.

btw, it was Clinton's "Community Reinvestment Act" that lowered the bar for lenders... combined with his cronies strong-arming banks and lenders to give loans to those who were under-qualified for them. Which contributed a lot to the housing crisis which contributed to the credit crisis, which Bush and Co.. and now Obama and Co handled wrong by trying to stave it off like they did back in the day before the great depression.

History isn't a great teacher for politicians.. they continue to **** everything up.


Neat.

And Bush had 8 years to fix Clinton's mistake. If Clinton or Gore were president they would have corrected the economy instead of letting it fall apart just to blame it on a predecessor.

You're not going to get an argument out of me, how Bush jr is quite possibly the WORST president we've ever had.... You're also not going to convince me that Obama isn't climbing the ladder on his way to claim that title from Bush Jr.
