Now that GWB has run your country into the ground - with the wheels coming off of everything; some of your largest, oldest, greatest companies folding; stocks and pensions diminished to nothing; millions lost their homes or facing foreclosure; millions of jobs lost, 2 wars that have served to NOT make you safer, the biggest deficits and debts ever, etc etc, etc -%26gt;
Ironically, its his infamous "mission accomplished" but all backwards...kind of backfired.
Will someone ask him to explain what he's done and if he's happy with the sad state of affairs his leaving behind? |||Apparently you don't live in the USA, for you said "running YOUR country" into the ground. Since I live here, the sky isn't falling. Some businesses both large and small are folding, but they always do in good times and bad. Some will reorganize, change management, and do other things to stabilize themselves. People have lost jobs before, then they find jobs again. This is a reevaluation time, and people and companies have to do that.
Are the wheels coming off of EVERYTHING? I don't think so. Two wars, and not another terrorist attack on USA soil in over 8 years...I am proud of President Bush and his administration for keeping our country safe. I also understand the cyclical market and how it goes up and comes down.
Stocks and pensions haven't diminished to nothing unless they had some bad stocks. But that won't hurt them unless they need to sell them right now in the strange market. Stocks are still holding, many at lower rates, but many will rise again. Some companies and people are buying and others are selling. The market is reacting not only to the economic conditions, but to fear and panic, and much fluxuation can be due to a new incoming president. His agenda doesn't support businesses in the same way that has been done, so companies are choosing how to deal with the little information they have on policies to come. Stocks fall and then they rise again.
It is unfortunate that so many people are losing their homes because they got involved in shady mortgages. People that buy homes should be able to pay for them. If they didn't understand the clauses in a mortgage, why didn't they go to someone who could explain the terms to them? Many banks are now working with people to get them real mortgages so they can stay in their homes. Those that were responsible for writing bad mortgages will no doubt be prosecuted, and those agencies that intimidated banks into making those loans will hopefully go unfunded, i.e., ACORN.
We do have huge deficits by spending on a war and by the overspending by Congress. We'll see how the new administration addresses the issues.
I am sure President Bush doesn't want to be leaving right now. He would like to see things through. He isn't to blame for the economy. There has been a domino effect of one issue compounding another. Congress was warned 3 or 4 times to deal with Fannie and Freddie, but they put their heads in the sand, and the Democrats in charge said there was no problem. When will they face the music? I am sure he is more fearful than we are about putting the country into the hands of a neophyte.
President Bush doesn't have to explain anything to me, I can read and analyse situations. History is recorded. He is leaving at a time, when I wish he could stay. His mission is accomplished, he has served us well through thick and thin.
I would rather listen to President Bush's words than listen to an inexperienced, arrogant, please 'em all.
If the USA isn't your country, why are you getting involved in our politics? How can you accurately judge or assess our problems? I certainly wouldn't try to emphatically state opinions about the economy and situation of another nation if I didn't live there.
Our media is also into drama, lots of drama, so I prefer to watch what is happening in my state, and am more concerned with my locale and how people are being affected. The people are resiliant, and they learn to be more cautious, as do companies, and the markets always return. Cautious optimism will replace the doom and gloom. I see the unemployment numbers, and know there is a problem for many families, many of whom have never gone through an economic downturn. Now they will become resourceful and they will handle this. They just have to know they can. Our government doesn't hold a magic key, the people do. |||That's the new NWO Puppet Obama's job now.
But do you think that will happen?
Nope, just like what Bush did for Clinton, Obama will get in and make sure that all documents are sealed and GWB is fully pardoned and protected.|||One fascist just suggested that you should be physically punished for disagreeing with Bush's policies. How does that hit ya?|||we will take you along for the ride. get used to it and kneel at the feet of your new god Obama|||okay, but only if you agree not to leave Clinton out of this by starting the mortgage debacle.|||I blame the Government and some what bush, But if ppl think
it was bad with Bush wait till Obama takes over !
they will be wishing for Bush. at least we we're a free country
then and Not a socialist one.. The USA...then will become
The USSA. |||Yes.|||Not to defend GWB, but he was put into an extremely difficult position at an extremely difficult time. The biggest mistake was from his ex president dad not invading Iraq when we had the support of the world after they invaded Kuwait. Alot of the problems we have seen were well on the way even before GW took office, but I am curious to know how any other president would have handled similar situations. True, GW is all about money, and his rich friends helped drive us into a recession, but honestly, does anyone really believe the president is the one who actually runs this country?|||To blame EVERYTHING on GWB is giving one man too much credit. If he truly is a complete idiot, as many people claim him to be, then I doubt he can simultaneously be brilliant enough to be the mastermind behind this country's downfall.
So, is he inept or all-powerful? |||What does it matter, he's history. I noticed americans becoming very anti-bush after he got his second term. Anyone who criticised during his first term was crucified. Just look at the Dixie Chicks.|||Will
WE THE PEOPLE
be able to hold Bush accountable for his actions as Commander in Chief,
when he was told "AMERICA is under attack" and he sat on his dead behind in a Photo-Op! This clown should be in prison!
|||What did bush do to make this happen? Please tell me.|||MISERY INDEX.COM!! look at some facts liberal!|||Tell me about it, I live here!!!|||He did very badly but served the same special interests the Presidents before served - and the same ones Obama is going to serve.
We need something entirely new.
Personally, I wrote in Ron Paul.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the US . , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.
Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable' discharge after a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!
Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?' |||No, They have all had a hand in this. It didn't start the last eight years.
Blame China. Almost everything you buy has their name on it. We are all guilty of selling our country out. I bet if you go to china you won't find very many American made objects. Think about that.|||People have been trying to sue him, and get him charged with criminal war crimes left and right, but he is under the protection of the U.S. government, so it will never happen.
Yes, I'll call him up, and ask him if he's happy with the sad state of affairs he is leaving behind....I'll get back to you and let you know what he says.
