Posted: 10/6/2009 10:42:31 AM | | Did George Bush and the Republicans steal both the 2000 and 2004 elections? Do you still think if they had done another re-count in 2000, Gore would have won? and why was Bush more popular than Kerry in 2004? | |

Actually, Kerry was more popular, which is why a lot of people were quite surprised with the apparent results of the election. | |

You have a keen mind.
Yeah, as the country goes down the toilet, the partisans quibble.
You are absolutely right.
The culture war stuff means NOTHING if the economy isn't sound. | |

whacky in the aftermath, where all sorts of wingnuts are falling all over their swords because a smart man is in the White House for a change and they could not stop democracy this time. Without Obama, the lower wingnuts would have to attack one another in a murderous, vicious feeding frenzy to the bottom of the gene pool and human intellect...oh Wait....They're doing it anyway.   | |

Seriously, what about GW Bush IS there to admire?
He has good hair, but he can't be credited with that...
He's got a nice wife--he did great, there.
He's a walking gaffe machine; I'll give him credit for that, though I don't admire it.

Vilify and Ridicule Bush all you want, after your emotions abate a little and you can see clearly again you will see that Bush had a lot of help from Congress in a lot of what he is being blamed for now....and one of the Major things that he is being blamed for can be traced back to Liberal legislation in regards to Home loans......... | |

Nothing emotional about it; Bush was bush-league, which I saw quite clearly at the time. In hindsight, he hasn't improved. | |

I find it humorous that some still feel poor little Bushy is the victim in this financial meltdown when much of the groundwork was laid on his watch, with his republican congress. It was those folks who nearly doubled the national debt during their regime, and Bush and the publicans were falling all over each other to push for risky loans.
On Oct. 15, 2002, at the "White House Conference on Minority Homeownership," Bush delivered a speech calling for a big increase in risky loans:
"Two-thirds of all Americans own their homes, yet we have a problem here in America because few than half of the Hispanics and half the African Americans own the home. That's a homeownership gap. It's a -- it's a gap that we've got to work together to close for the good of our country, for the sake of a more hopeful future. We've got to work to knock down the barriers that have created a homeownership gap.
I set an ambitious goal. It's one that I believe we can achieve. It's a clear goal, that by the end of this decade we'll increase the number of minority homeowners by at least 5.5 million families.
Some may think that's a stretch. I don't think it is. I think it is realistic. I know we're going to have to work together to achieve it. But when we do our communities will be stronger and so will our economy. Achieving the goal is going to require some good policies out of Washington. And it's going to require a strong commitment from those of you involved in the housing industry.
Just by showing up at the conference, you show your commitment. And together, together we will work over the next decade to enable millions of our fellow Americans to own a piece of their own property, and that's their home. ...
To open up the doors of homeownership there are some barriers, and I want to talk about four that need to be overcome. First, down payments. A lot of folks can't make a down payment. They may be qualified. They may desire to buy a home, but they don't have the money to make a down payment. I think if you were to talk to a lot of families that are desirous to have a home, they would tell you that the down payment is the hurdle that they can't cross."
USA Today article from Jan. 20, 2004
By Thomas A. Fogarty, USA TODAY
In a bid to boost minority homeownership, President Bush will ask Congress for authority to eliminate the down-payment requirement for Federal Housing Administration loans.
In announcing the plan Monday at a home builders show in Las Vegas, Federal Housing Commissioner John Weicher called the proposal the "most significant FHA initiative in more than a decade." It would lead to 150,000 first-time owners annually, he said. | |

Oh...golly...there you go with all that truthiness...whatever will the Obama Crucifiers do, now...
I know they'd really like for the rest of us to distance ourselves from the debacle Bush left, but the truth(-iness) is that we can't. Not 'won't', but can't.
We can't, because we're still living in the snowball Bush sent off down the hill.
Obama is faced with it coming at him on a daily basis.
People who lost their homes were run over by it.
Others are standing in its path.
Bush is still very much with us. | |

^^ I agree. Bush supporters and/or other Repubs or ....right-wing libertarians ...or what-have-you... can argue it until they're all blue in the face, or they get carpal tunnel from typing so much trying to spin and change reality, and they might as well do so for all I'm concerned because they're certainly not changing any minds here on this end of the screen... The cold & hard fact remains: GOP leadership walked into a far better country and economy than they left behind. "In 2001, after George W. Bush was elected president, we had a balanced budget with a national debt of $5.7 trillion. When Mr. Bush left in 2009, we surely didn’t have a balanced budget and we are now $10 trillion in debt." (http://www.napavalleyregister.com/articles/2009/02/03/opinion/commentary/doc4987cc16d15c7240731994.txt).
This current crisis began under GOP leadership; the country overextended itself financially (possibly militarily as well ~ with at least one unnecessary full scale invasion and occupation) under GOP leadership; the first "bailout" happened under GOP leadership as well (in a not thorough enough and very late in the day attempt to stanch the bleeding).
As for critiquing the current admin, IMO thus far, Obama's big flaw(s) have been that he's taking too long to make decisions and not being effectual enough. By "effectual" I mean they seem, even with a majority in Congress, to dither and dilly-dally for weeks that roll quickly into months as he carefully considers nearly every single move the administration makes, it seems. His professorial and chess player-like mien are good in the sense that he obviously carefully weighs the major decisions (unlike his wanna-be "gunslinger" predecessor), but at the same time IMO thus far has not made for the most effective leadership. I'm still a fan, don't get me wrong; I mean I thank God he beat out McCain/Palin (nightmare of nightmares: McCain gets sick or dies.....). Obama also makes a bit too much effort at this point IMO (when it's obvious there are elements there that are simply nearly rabid over the fact he is president at all) to get the "other side of the aisle" to like and approve of him and his ideas. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 8:00:44 AM | | The Economy is worse now than than it was when Obama first took Office, ineffectual is the perfect word to describe his Presidency. The reason he pretends to Reach across the aisle is so that he can share the blame for his ineffectiveness with the Republicans. You know, like how you started your post blaming everything on the Republicans,pretending that the Democrats played no part in anything over the last 9 years. Must not forget that many of the Policies implemented by Clinton are also adversely effecting our Economy Today, Housing, NAFTA etc...So what did all those Democrats do for all that time, vote no on every issue that is being blamed on Bush or Simply not vote? | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 8:51:15 AM | haha right. that bush presidency was very effective. it effectively brought down the largest economy in the world.
damn, it took the Right eight years to break the economy and obama is supposed to fix it in less than a year. right. eight years to right all those "clinton wrongs" but somehow Republicans just never got around to it. eight years to come up with some sort of solution to healthcare but outside of a few meaningless tinkerings, nothing.
then when it finally fell apart its "that guy who was here eight years ago" or its "that guy that just got here".
party of personal responsibility my ass. whatever it is somebody else did it. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 10:39:21 AM | | One thing I have noticed for quite a long time now is that Democrats do not vote as much as Republicans do, like eventhough Democratic candidates may have a lot of support, sometimes even more than the Republican candidate does, a lot of the support Democrats get is not indirect, like the people say they want them to win, but a lot do not take the initiative in order to help them win. Does anyone get my point? | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 3:45:54 PM | A more appropriate term might be NeanderConservative, fighting evolution and thinking all the way. We see it in these threads. Libruls Bad...repubs guud...uggh.
Obama, with two thirds of a first year into a first term, trying to correct 8 years of utter failure on every front, somehow is now the incumbent who is responsible for burning down the village, destroying the crops and game, digging the giant outhouse hole, and urinating all over our neighbors. The NeanderConservatives are now the party of obstruction in digging out of this hole and somehow it is the fault of those who are trying to fix the mess they dug us into. They made the hole twice as deep and refuse to build ladders, insisting that more digging will get us to the other side of the flat earth. As someone pointed out earlier, for the party of personal responsibility, they sure do have this obsessive need to blame others for their uckfups. Uggh...Change bad... | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 3:54:17 PM | My comment is that it doesn't speak well for the people who voted him in -TWICE!!!!!!!!!
The redemption for Americans came when they turned out in much bigger numbers last year, much more involved but it is still very scary that a Woman like Palin was being considered for VP.
As much as U like Obama he is proving once again that being a hopeful stateman is not enough to get anything done that is really is in the best interests of all.
I am not sure where to place the blame for how f*cked your politics are but media, lobbyists, and big corporations have ruined the image of how a politicians should be. | |
