Such a stupid letter. Targeting a man when these policies have been around for many years. Bush had 8 years to fix it, now we demonize Obama because he hasn’t in 2 years? Seems like Obama was busy working on Bush’s screw ups even before he took office.
People, use some common sense. Much more patience and courtesy was given to Bush as he drove us into 2 wars that have broken the bank and then with no surprise, an economic disaster that immediately followed. Give our current President the respect he deserves and an opportunity to work this out in more than 2 years.
The article is an Epic Fail! But great fodder for inbreaders.
the bridges were covered in water so it took 2 days to get ships to new orleans. bush was crucified
obama had to play golf before going to the gulf. isn't he so cool.
pull your head out of obama's backside and see the light of day
Give our current President the same amount of time and courtesy given to Bush. Hypocrisy.
It has come to my attention that as long as a republican is in office, it does not matter what the federal government is doing, certain southern people will remain quiet. But, when a democrat is in office, especially a black President, that is when they “find their voice” and decide they are oppressed. They form tea parties to protest and vilify our President over the same policies that were in place while Bush was in office. So why now? Is it the black thing?
Its freaking hilarious.
i don't like odumbass because he is destroying our country. 1.6 trillion in deficit.
and just so you know, the southern democrat party had many more KKK members that the republican party.
those who can't remember yesterday are doomed to be suckered into tomorrow.
Perhaps next time you voice your opinion you will use more accurate facts to back it up..and follow your own logic.
Investigate what the deficit was before and after Bush came to office. Also look into jobs created before and after his Presidency.
Also look into the estate tax repeal law he passed, the unnecessary Iraq war and defense spending and see how that figures into the budget. Then take into account the 2nd worst economic crisis the world has seen and see how that figures into the budget.
Let me know how you would have gotten us out of such a deficit if you would not have passed the stimulus bill. Since you are a fan of history, I will give you a hint. Research the Great Depression and Herbert Hoover.
When you have done your homework, get back to me.
on 9/11 we had the worst attack on american soil since pearl harbor. you can look that one up too since you apparently don't remember. also, look at all the attacks during the clinton years that led up to 9/11. oh and you can listen to the well known recording of clinton saying that he was offered osama bin laden but didn't take him prisoner.
clinton changed the way the deficit was calculated in order to "balance" the budget. that one is also in the books.
bush had an approximate 230 billion dollar deficit until 2006 when the democrats got a supermajority in the house and senate. after that the deficit went to nearly 500 billion. that one you can also look up. and even at the HIGHEST, bush's deficit was still only 1/4 of odogpooh's.
BO has created an unsustainable debt that will soon consume 100% of tax intake. it won't be me who loses here and it won't be those nasty rich people everyone's talking about. it will be the people on public assistance, SSI, SSDI. those are the people who will be hurt by all this outrageous spending.
blame bush all you want but the fact is the democrats and yo boyee barack hussein obama are to blame.
