As was pointed out already, Bush started the bailout process and Obama simply followed up with Bush's plan. The funny thing is that had Bush stayed for another term I imagine we'd be in the same spot we are in today. Bush and Obama have the same solution to the problem so in a way the democrats are unintentionally agreeing that Bush was on the right track. Liberal = Secret Bush supporters.
He's not my savior, he's my president. I can't tell if you're throwing Bush under the bus or not. Perhaps, it's time after 8 years of bull (*)(*)(*)(*). With your logic, if Bush was on the right track, Obama must be. At least one thing different between Obama and Bush, bin Laden's head.
I'd loan him a couple of million..but I can't get change for these billion dollar bills in my wallet.
I hate it when that happens. Stupid cashiers at McDonalds absolutely REFUSE to make change for a billion.
Yep, not like the old days. I can't wait for the U.S. dollar to fail and we have to use all that gold they want us to buy, to buy a cheeseburger. Got change for a 1 ounce Krugerrand?
Ford refused the bailout because they didn't need it. The geniuses at Ford saw this economic downturn in the early 2000s and prepared for it.
Just like in baseball again.. The team with a sub par record 15 games under 500 in July..fires the coach and wins the next 12 games in a roll..THERE they say..they are back on track.. But lose the division by 18 games and finishes in 3rd place. Great if you dont mind not winning. THE NEW DEMOCRATIC WAY.. Appeasement and someone else owning the USA. The GM workers OWN NOTHING.. Obama owns them.
That is another grand lie being promulgated by Liberals. The Economy was NOT about to collapse.Because TARP wasn't necessary.It was a scam.Obama is running around this past week saying his Administration didn't realize how bad the Economy really was. Yet,Rush Limbaugh played back a 2008 video of Obama insisting that the Economy was as Bad as during the Depression and we have to do something.Obama again,caught in another lie. What was it Obama.The Economy was as bad as the Depression of the 1930's back in 2008 or you just underestimated how bad it was up until last week.
Ford did the right thing and weren't about to let the Inexperienced Community Organizer schmooze them with his Liberal bull. Look how many GM car dealerships were taken away by Obama as he selectively picked the winners and losers of who gets a Dealership.He did the same crap with Green Jobs.Rewarding his buddies,and that's Croynism.A charge Pelosi loved to level at the Bush White House.Turns out Pelosi got a stumulus money job for a relative.
This piddly little "economic growth" as you call it would've been a boom under a Republican. By historical Standards Obama's "recovery" is a miserable failure. When we're creating a million jobs a month, then you can talk your (*)(*)(*)(*).
What liberal apologists like yourself refuse to admit: But for a coterie of economists who have studied decades of downturns, the recovery from the most recent recession is likely to be one of the most difficult and protracted in U.S. history http://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...-say/2011/08/17/gIQA6D6rPJ_story.html?hpid=z1 Face it. He lied about the job growth, he lied about the unemployment numbers, he lied about the debt and he lied about his claim he doesn't deserve a second term because he's running again. Face it, your boy is a failure and we will knock his butt out of the White House in November.
Given that the more partisan business owners are not hiring because Obama is president and they prefer to sulk rather than pitch in, and that repubs have tried to screw the economy every chance they got just to hurt Obama, and that the economy takes time to reverse the downward spiral started during the Bush years, I'd say that the signs of recovery are encouraging. Don't worry though, the economic benefits will eventually trickle down to even the most intransigent con, that is unless they sat on their hands and refused to invest in the future when they had the chance. But we all know how much you people love the trickle down economic model, so enjoy it.
Why I am not hiring. More evidence of the delusional and dishonest nature of leftists. In their minds, they actually think that business owners will forgo profits and avoid growing their business simply because they do not like the President (probably due to racism, eh?). How unbelievably stupid, yet not surprising, at the same time.
Ya, god forbid I don't like President Obama for the downright arrogance he's displayed. The unconstitutional piece of crap health care bill, him and his goons in congress shoved down the throats of the American people. The debt that he and President Bush burdened this country with. His outright hypocrisy of class warfare, while he's at fund raisers serving up $34,000 dollar plates of food. His crony capitalism. His war mongering in Libya. His illegal gun running operation into Mexico. I mean for (*)(*)(*)(*)s sake, the list goes on. But hey, I don't want the man to see a second term, simply for no reason.
