Bush Says He’s Concerned About Economy

Bush is such a dim bulb. You can’t have confidence in him being able to handle an economic crisis or any other crisis.
He’s been in so far over his head it’s ridiculous. We need sharp people to handle the great challenges of our times.
Obama/Biden ’08

Guys….THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES….I cannot believe any of you would even CONSIDER voting a Rep back in office>>>>

Last night Palins challenge was “Let’s play stump the candidate”
I think she should follow through with that challenge

I thought he might speak today. He got slammed pretty hard by Chris Matthews last night for not doing a presidential address on the economy.

Great work Bush, now we get to elect a “welfare/warfare” queen in McCain/Obama to finish off the mess you and your pathetic democrat enablers in congress started. Hope you and Cheney have fun in Dubai while the US BURNS!!! (Say hi to Prince Saud and all of the hijackers from Saudi Arabia for all of us!) And be sure to take those traitors who enabled you (Pelosi and Reid) WITH YOU when you go!!!

Oh dear! I wonder if Obama can do something, he may as well just go in, tell Bush to leave and hand out some money- he can borrow a few dollars from the guy advising him from Fannie mae- you know the guy who ran it into the ground paying himself 90 million in the process. Doesn’t matter that he hasn’t won yet. After all didn’t he try to negotiate with the Iraqi’s from setting troop time limits with Bush -waiting until he rode into office?

Do you have a comment about this issue? It’s easier to talk about rumor and innuendo than real issues.
Bush/McCain policies have failed our economy.

Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) — Morgan Stanley, the second-biggest independent U.S. securities firm, may sell a larger stake to China Investment Corp. and is in talks about a possible merger with Wachovia Corp., a person familiar with the matter said.
If this is true, Bush and friends keep walking in poop, I can’t wait for McNuts to continue the downfall…

He is introducing the new feature film coming out…
“Deregulation and the Bail Out II -2008″
It’s the trillion dollar sequel to the first one (which only cost us half a trillion dollars)
“Deregulation and the Bail Out – The Rise of the S and L crisis”
The sequel finds our trusty partners…John Mccain and Charles Keating have separated their contract giving, deregulation lobbying, jet-sharing ways…have parted company (as Keating went the way of Prison at the end of the first one and John went on to be that “maverick” leaving his partner in the dust)
we now find John Mccain has a new partner…Phil Gramm same battles same lobbying
but now they are writing the nations economic policies.
ugh
throw these bums out.

Some more of that Compassionate Conservative stuff. Sounds like McCains Populist Conservative crap.
Just like the S&L debacle, we now have the This, both caused by deregulation championed by the Republicans.
Free market system at work.

a day late and a dollar short – as usual! Heck of a job, Bushie!

I think we really need McCain to take care of this mess on Wall Street.
Obama has no major accomplishment. He flip flops on everything. He has no core and he doesn’t have the wisdom. He is a left-wing George W. Bush.
Barack “GWB” Obama, is unit to be anything.
Hopefully, McCain will win the election.

Hey watching, I though she had already palyed the games with Charles Gibson.

Hey, don’t pick on Bush. Yes, he’s a dim bulb BUT he’s the guy everyone wanted to have a BEER with – wasn’t HE? Now we have a potential Vice President who people like because of her glasses and shoes.
I think the voters deserve who they get. Wake up, folks. Bush has always been a dim bulb – even before he was elected!
This is serious stuff (let alone 4,000 + lives lost and thousands more injured for life) because voters base their leadership choices on who they would like to have a BEER with.
Elect your President because of ability. Pick your Beer Drinking friends because of their good ol’boy behavior or their looks and who their Mom and Dad might be.
WAKE UP! folks – we can’t really afford to make a stupid decision for the 3rd time in a row.

BMR do you eally think that there are no soldiers who are democrats, and that all republicans are un-selfish? Naming a party does not define who you are and what you stand for. I want less government and more freedom, but I also think a woman has the right to choose and that any two adults, or more for trhat matter, should be allowed to marry. I don’t think matters of faith has any place in lawmaking. I think our schools should be the best in the world and I am willing to pay the taxes to make that happen. There are national priorities that will need to be paid for by taxes, states cannot do everything alone. taxes are the price we pay for a civilized and free society. Giving tax breaks to big business increases their bottom line, business pricipals dictate that you increase staff as a last resort. Trickle down has not worked, ever. Free market does not mean unregulated market. A responsible free market requires rules and framework. In this country we are all supposed to have equal promise. Whether you are born rich or poor. That is not the way it is, and that situation has gotten much worse the last 8 years.

Roger Miller? Are you really comparing Barrack Obama to George W. Bush? Now that’s a stretch. With logic like that I can see why you might vote for McCain and why you probably voted for Bush twice.
Bush/McCain policies have failed.

O-Y-R
The issue is that if you would making about $60K 8 years ago, you are still making about that now, or if you have had some moderate success you may be making as much as $80K today, the problem is that $80k today does not buy what $60K did 8 years ago. I make more than I did 8 years ago, but the basics have increased at a faster pace, so no, I am not better off. That and i never thought I’d see the day of having a Republican against a tax cut.

Free markets work. Let them. No exceptions. None. Bailout compromise the divine beauty of free markets.

Let’s all do our part, to see to it that the Bushes and Cheney get their rightful place in history, and their rightful place in the afterlife. The way I see it, History can be a dog, and I genuinely hope all the Bushes are hydrants. Over 90% of America’s debt has come about with a Bush in the Whitehouse.

John McCain will probably try to distract voters today or tomorrow with some other “celebrity-lipstick-media hating-patriotic” message. Why? Because his stance on regulating banks and stock brokers has been to DEREGULATE. It’s been one of the cornerstones of his campaign for years. Please don’t be fooled by the John McCain who now talks out of both sides of his mouth. Sorry to say: the new McCain is a fraud.

BMR Robert–That is the problem, the Republicans are to arrogant and dumb to realize and admit that they cannot run a country. Again and again they use social issues to gain political power, if it were not for Abortion, Gay marriage and war. . . .They would have nothing to lean on .Democrats: Fixing Conservative F^&% ups, term after term. Republicans: The thorn in americas side! Idont need a saviour,I have one…. I need a president. OBAMA 08

If you listen closely you can hear the palin bounce coming back down along with the market.

The Bush admin. has Allowed these corporate barons to privitize their profits and socialize their bankrupties. We are in deep trouble people.

The Republican mantra is to privatize the profits but use taxpayers for bailout. The Republicans actually want to give Wall Street crooks the power to control our Social Security system. Just think.. your entire retirement savings could be in a Lehman Brothers hedge fund right now … if Republicans had their way. If the Republicans have their way your retirement home could be a cardboard box under a bridge.

Jason,
Staying operational shouldn’t be primary when there’s fundamental decay.
Freedom isn’t free and neither are free markets. Implicit is potential for ‘pain’. If “greed is good” then so is ‘pain’.

I have no respect for Bush or the Republican party.
What a walking disaster. I never voted for Bush or his father. I saw this coming. I am voting for someone with good judgement and for someone who’s head isn’t so big that he will put the best of the best at the tables to try to straighten the US out. I am voting Obama/Biden.

That video of Bush’s speech was typical. He has gotten us into this mess and now he’s leaving office for another president to clean it up.
PLEASE VOTE DEMOCRAT!!!!!

This is the fault of Republican voters in America! They put Bush into office! Every Republican voter who supported Bush should have to pay additional taxes and fines to help restore our economy! I’m serious! Those voters put our country in jeopardy! They exercised extremely poor and reckless judgment and caused undue hardship on the country.

There seems to be a lot of severe criticism against Bush. Is McCain really just Bush II? Is Obama the man who will change all this horrible stuff that you feel? If all that is true, then why won’t Obama join McCain in town hall meetings and make himself clear contrast for your vote?
McCain has asked Obama to do just that! He challenges Obama all the time. Why doesn’t the media report that? Why wouldn’t Obama jump at the chance to stand next to McCain to express his differences?
Obama is NOT WILLING to meet this basic political challenge. That, my friend, makes Obama the weaker candidate. That, fellow voter, is what is killing Obama’s chance to be your president. That is why he is losing support. He’s basically a coward. He can’t man up to McCain. He does nothe have the guts that real leadership requires.
One more thing I worry about. What did Obama do to solve the extremely high murder rate problem in Chicago, especially among black Americans?
Would he support bringing the troops home from Iraq and move some of them to Chicago to stop the murder? Aren’t more people getting killed there than in all of Iraq? Oh you don’t think so! Do some research and find out! With all Obama’s experience, he couldn’t solve the big problems right in has back yard. Obama IS more of the same?
OBAMA IS AN EMPTY SUIT! You can hate Bush. You can Hate McCain. But Obama is probably even worse.

Danny….WHY???? What policies did the Repubs support or create that caused the present situation…Remember the federal monetary policy is not in the hands of the President, nor the House of Senate, but in the hands of the Federal Reserve..AND, what makes the Dems immune to the present situation; or in other words, why don’t they share the blame as well?

Ya they can blame it all on Bush. When you really research it though, it goes all the way back to 1977 to 1981, Gee I wonder who was President and who ran Congress?

Vote
Sen. John “P.O.W” McCain,
’cause the “fundamentals of the economy are strong”
&
Gov. Sarah “Lipstick” Palin,
’cause she’ll put “a moose in every pot”

Senator Obama talks a tough game on the financial markets but the facts tell a different story. He took more money from Fannie and Freddie than any Senator but the Democratic chairman of the committee that regulates them. He put Fannie Mae’s CEO who helped create this disaster in charge of finding his Vice President. Fannie’s former General Counsel is a senior advisor to his campaign. Whose side do you think he is on? When I pushed legislation to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Senator Obama was silent. He didn’t lift a hand to avert this crisis. While the leaders of Fannie and Freddie were lining the pockets of his campaign, they were sowing the seeds of the financial crisis we see today and enriching themselves with millions of dollars in payments. That’s NOT CHANGE, that’s what’s broken in Washington.
Those same Congressional leaders who give Senator Obama his marching orders are now saying that this mess isn’t their fault and they aren’t going to take any action on this crisis until after the election. Senator Obama’s own advisers are saying that crisis will BENEFIT him politically. My friends, that is the kind of me-first, country-second politics that are broken in Washington.
Today Senator Obama’s running mate said that raising taxes is patriotic. Raising taxes in a tough economy isn’t patriotic. It’s not a badge of honor. It’s just dumb policy.

It’s easier to talk about rumor and innuendo than real issues.(distract)
Boy it sure is, certainly when its so easy to lay the blame at one persons feet. Of course no one wants to really look at what exactly went on and has gone on, like ceo’s of fannie and fredie raiding the till that was intended to provided money to poor families. Or these government backed institutions making political contributions to politicians who would do them the most favors or loan them money, cheaper than what you or I would get it for. Not to mention that we as taxpayers are paying Raines severence pay (114k per month)after screwing up and Raines now advising Mr. Obama. But lets not talk about facts, just blame someone else.

We are the Marxists we’ve been waiting for
Good post.

Checks and balances, in my opinion, the Republican administration, who has been in power for the last 8 years, failed miserably to regulate banks and lending practices, which caused the mortgage crisis. It should be a fundamental responsibility of a federal government to regulate any process that can destroy our economy. Even when the Democrats had a slight majority in the Senate, since early 2007, Bush has continued to block progress by his power to veto, so Republicans still remained in control. As a result, Democrats have had nothing to do with the failed economic policies of this president, his administration and his party.

I like this!

109 sistermoon3 on 09.18.08 at 12:24 pm “Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they’ll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of ’social change.’”
Investor’s Business Daily is referring to an organization known as Public Allies.
Has Investor’s Business Daily gone of the proverbial deep end?
Perhaps not. Just in case you’ve never heard of Public Allies, know that there are about 250 separate and unique references on Google comparing it to the Hitler Youth Corp.
No, that’s not a sick joke or exaggeration! In many cases, these comparisons are not made lightly, foolishly or flippantly.
Public Allies is an extremely radical leftist organization that seeks to bulldoze free America and replace it with a totalitarian socialist state.
Investor’s Business Daily goes on in the aforementioned editorial — aptly named “Michelle’s [Obama] Boot Camps For Radicals” — and states:
“But its real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about ’social change’ through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation — the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul ‘The Red’ Alinsky.”
But wait until you hear — as radio personality Paul Harvey would say — “The Rest of the Story.”
Barack Hussein Obama plans to use Public Allies, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps.
He calls his Orwellian program, “Universal Voluntary Public Service.”
And why not?
After all Obama was a founding board member of Public Allies and his wife, Michelle, was executive director of the Chicago cell

I hope everyone understands that the reason he hasn’t gone to important GOP events is not from “concern” and working hard to help with Hurricanes or economic meltdowns. Surely you all know the GOP is doing its best to pretend Bush is not one of them. His attendance to fundraisers or the RNC is like poison and they all know it. So now we are getting this schtick that the GOP candidates are “reformers”. It’s funny how they are trying their best to disassociate themselves from their OWN party. Cry accountability and then do everything possible to avoid it. What LOSERS.

If too big to fail is a principle to adhere to, then we’d better pass laws to break up companies when they get to a certain size.

“The ‘Fundamentals’ of our economy is STRONG.” — John McCain
HAHAHAHA!!! John McCain is better at stand-up comedy than Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Jimmy Kimmel combined! HAHAHA!!!

Everybody do USofA a favor and put an Independant in as Chief. Let one who isn’t rubbin elbows w/both parties who will tell you how, where, why, and who with TOTAL transparency. Comfort Zones don’t fix many problems when your zone is part of the problem. Both parties are responsible for our current crisis’

Bush just validated Obama. McCain’s dimwitted behind said the Economy was fundamentally sound, and Bush understands that people are concerned about the economy because it is NOT fundamentally sound, people are losing money and their jobs! Security of the country is not only from terrorists and invader’s, but also from economical failures, etc.

Where was this brainless bafoon dreaming of Bagdad more like it when all this started now he is concerned well slap me silly. and he was elected twice didn’t anybody learn from the first 4 years of this jackass.

Boy am I glad I can say i did not vote for him either time so I can bitch all I want to. I would rather vote for someone that a least remembers what he says and can admit mistakes than someone that lies right and left or does he really have dementia and just doesn’t remember .

LO from MO – Don’t kid yourself – bush couldn’t have done n e thing about it – he’s not that bright -
I doubt he can put his pants on by himself in the morning.

Democrat no more -McMoron knows how to get things done? Are they the kinds of things we want done? Are they the kinds of things YOU want done?
Are you willing to accept and live with the disastrous policies that are sure to come w/ that imbecile in charge? Disastrous policies? you ask, look around you – what’s going on in the country today – it’ll be a lot like that – but worse – oh yea and more war. Is that what you’re looking for ?

here’s another thought…actually a prediction:
on the last day of his presidency, as he pauses in the chopper door before his last flight to rancho-malario, junior will turn, draw the news mikes in real close and whisper with a smirk, “new-clear” as he gives us a one-finger salute goodbye.

hhh
