Exactly. Obama reached out by baming Republicans for this economy, when he had an integral part in the policies that led to the mortgage crisis.


Pelosi changes house rules that Republicans put in to allow alternative bills to be introduced...


You mean like that?

If we have had a Republican president for the last 8 years and a Republican-controlled Congress for more than 10 years, who should we blame for the economy?

I think this all could have been prevented by invading Iran. :mrgreen:

He did? I did not know that Obama was in the US congress in the late 1990s.. interesting. And where is his fingerprint on the legislation that Phil Graham made to deregulate a market and tear down the barriers that had been in place for 60 years protecting the banking industry? Care to show us that? Or are you one of those right wingers that totaly blank out anything of the last decade or so of Republican lead (and backed by Democrats I might add) deregulation? Or the fact that the Bush administration stopped any and all attempts to regulate everything from Hedge funds to Fanny and Freddy? Sorry, you can blame the Dems for many things, but laying this financial crisis on their doorstep when it was the Republicans that promoted and lead the charge for deregulation since Reagan.. is just pathetic partisan coincidental forgetfulness on your part.

Oh, sour grapes that your Republican friends could not filibuster the stimulus bill? We all know what the Republicans would have done if they were allowed to put alternative bills in.. tons of bills that would tie up the House for months while the Republican's would debate abortion, religion and what other wacko things they think is important in an economic crisis. One thing for sure, there would have not been any form of any stimulus bill what so ever if Pelosi had allowed "alternative" bills to be introduced. Even the alternative bills in the Senate were beyond laughable and totally not serious.

So what, Bush had a homosexual male prostitute in the front row of his press conferences giving him snow ball questions. And one with no credentials to be there I might add....
 
peteE/U,


What you don't know about the US and the US Government could fill volumes, I am not interested in educating you, sorry.

Hmm.
Seems to me that you people have been arguing that we've been in an economic poop-hole since 2001.
Under your argument, we should blame Clinton.

What does a mans sexual orientation have to do with anything?

Or are you just simply a bigot? :2wave:

911
The tech bubble
The Housing bubble (to which Obama sued for Acorn for ninja loans)
The Democrats,
The Republicans,

rediculous spending that all of you rightfully critisized bush about but are up Obama's ass in approval of another 1.4 trillion in spending....


You all blame Republican tax cuts, then state there are tax cuts in Obama's plan, and sing the praises of his porkzilla plan....


You all need to come up with a coherent and less hypocritical argument.

Just curious that a male prostitute was issued a hard pass to the White House. Don't you find that curious? By the way, here's another in the list of "How Republicans shut Democrats out of government":

After revelations in the Downing Street memo, a document containing incriminating information on the buildup to the Iraq War, Democrats in the minority were refused even a hearing chamber and were forced to meet in the basement of the U.S. Capitol Building on the matter.

And are you just blind?

First off about his homosexuality. I dont care, but considering the Republican jihad against homosexuality and gay rights, I find it very odd that a known male prostitute got access to the White House press room, despite not being a journalist nore not being able to qualify for a congressional press pass. On top of that the first time he attended a press conference he had never ever published anything and the organisation he later was associated had not been created at the time. And on his first press conference he was allowed to ask a question... yea... very normal. Oh did I forget to mention that he got access to the White House, using an ASSUMED name?

Yea nothing wrong with that, at all.

Your rhetorical vomit has no limits, eh?

Homsexual jihad? Are you serious? Do you not have any rhetorical restraint? So you see some level of equivalence between Muslims terrorists killing civilians and Republicans possessing a moral judgment against homsexuality? What are they doing to you people there in the EU?

Given that no such jihad exist your feigned surprise is meaningless. The WH can grant a pass to who ever the hell they want to.

On top of that the first time he attended a press conference he had never ever published anything and the organisation he later was associated had not been created at the time.

So you problem is what? Like you actually care that someone violated security protocol. Like you actually care that he lacked the same legit credentials as, say, Helen Thomas.

Rather, the only thing you care about is that a pro-Republican individual was at all allowed into the WH press room.

BFD! Bwahahahahahaaaaaa...

Meanwhile, I have not seen you express any outrage or surprise that Obama prescreens and preselectes journalists before conducting a presser.

Yea nothing wrong with that, at all.

The only thing wrong with it was that Gannon was able to successfully dupe a press room official into granting a credential. Beyond that all we have is your vapid rhetorical vomit all over the floor here.
 
Reverend_Hellh0und said:
Then why was that the first thing you said about the man.


Are you attributing prostitution with homosexuality?

Nice try, but fail again. I see what you are doing and avoiding the subject by hitting down on something that you and I both know are a big no no in Republican land, and then trying to accuse me for something that is not there.. classic right wing tactic of avoidance and attack.

But back to the side subject, so you think it was okay that Jeff Gannon was in the White House press room with Bush but had obtained access using a false name and never had published anything before and was not working for anyone? Funny how you totaly gloss over those facts, and yet focus totaly on the gay part, in a religious right anti gay White House...

But it does not change the fact, that the Republicans under Neo Con leadership of Newt, Frist and DeLay were master of marginalizing anyone that did not agree with them, even in their own party. That the Democrats had to hold a mock hearing about the possible abuses of the Bush administration just shows how little the Republican run congress actually cared about Bi-partisanship and oversight.

This stems for the liberal propensity to refer to people that disagree with them as 'Nazis' and to characterize their positions as 'hate' and/or 'fear'.

In their minds, it is an effective substitute for a supportable rebuttal.
