WH to Stephanopoulos: ‘This is a Bullet You Only Fire Once’

Haven’t we heard his warning of an imminent event occuring before?
Bailout the people for a change and not the financial institutions.

Weapons of Mass Destruction…act now!!!..yeah right lol

Once in a century? 1930′s was only 78 years ago Bush its now twice in the same century you Republicans have screwed up the US economy and by the same means deregulation, and same crapola talking points of trickle down economics.

DUH

So reassuring. Now all of a sudden we can trust what Bush says?

Hope he is thru quick. I do not want to miss CSI NY.

Get ready for the B.S. from this stuttering fool. Did he get advice from his buddy Bono ?
Ex Republican

The problem I have with this bailout is what Bernanke and Paulson are NOT telling us. And that is on purpose. They wont tell us who gets the money and how much . They dont seem interested in helping the homeowner, just the banks who had their party and now cry the blues . They simply say that they misbehaved and its so dire we have to help them or the whole thing will crack up. There is no mention of crimminal charges against these clowns at all. It really does appear that Paulson and Bernanke fear that if these idiots arent bailed out, and they have royal authority to control it, the public outrage will get so bad the FBI SEC will have to step in and start arresting people. I believe Paulson and Bernanke want to cover up dozens of terrible secrets for friends on wall st and abroad.

You can always tell when a Bush is lying, there mouth is moving. And I mean all of them Bush 41, Lil Bush and Jeb. No one knows better than the Republicans that supported these people and were stabbed in the back. Better to have socialism for the workers than socialism for the rich.
Ex Republican

I hope he has better luck than when he was in the oil business in Texas.

The American Tax Payers are paying to rebuild Iraq – which will cost us 700 Billion by the end of the year – What’s another 700 billion? Hey we’re losing our housing and can’t afford gas to drive to work but that’s no reason that every American shouldn’t be able to hold down 2 jobs to pay for golden parachutes and the underhanded business ethics by the elite business criminals that got us in this mess to begin with – Isn’t that right George?

The recent ECONOMIC problems are NOT some “POOR GUYS BUYING WHAT THEY COULD NOT AFFORD”.
Typical that the CONS that SET UP this CRISIS would “BLAME THE VICTIM”.
At least with KEATING 5 and ENRON we STILL had the NERVE, OUTRAGE and ABILITY to INVESTIGATE,BRING CHARGES and PROSECUTE some of the TOP MANIPULATORS that destroyed so many ordinary citizen”s lives!
As it looks NOW the FAT CATS that used LOBBYISTS to push through SUCH DIRTY DEALINGS will “GET AWAY WITH IT” this time.
Guess “Financial Crisis Fatigue” has set in.
So many of the American people are acting like a BEATEN HOUSEWIFE who STAYS WITH the MONSTER that beats and abuses her!
It”s been a long and convoluted CON JOB based on SELFISHNESS and GREED by people who ALREADY had MORE THAN THEIR SHARE of the Nation”s WEALTH yet in their BOTTOMLESS PIT OF GREED – Wanted MORE!
They wanted it ALL AT ANY COST even up to and Including the DESTRUCTION of the American People and their way of life!
So, this TINY SLICE of people AT THE TOP “worked” over decades to STEAL the ENTIRE WEALTH of our great Nation slowly inserting laws that FAVORED them, buying politicians, destroying leaders they could not buy and through careful media control and education “mismanagement” -DUMBING DOWN millions.

Is he going to talk about his strategy or the way he says it ” sta-tig-ery ” SNL 2000.

People were told of weapons of mass destruction and our troops were rushed into a war that we are now borrowing money to finance,now we are having to bailout Wall Street because of an oversight and deregulation.This is not all of Bushes doing but since he and the republicans have had the majority rule for at least the seven years before democrats came in what were the main objectives of the republicans all that Bush could do was veto bills.This economy is having a terrible affect on our housing and this was going on for sometime yet noone did anything,when people started losing jobs nothing was done,these were early warning signs that should have sent up great big red flags,we don’t need anymore of people sleeping while on duty,and we don’t need more Bush McCain scare tactics,we need strong leadership that does not have to hide behind closed doors and who will show the American people they have concern for our well being this going to be something our grandchildren and their chldren will be paying for.Enough of the secret society of the Bush regime.

Thank you BEN,
Just wrote my congressman a little note – I told him HIS VOTE DETERMINES MY VOTE – I encourage everyone to do the same. ACT NOW PEOPLE – THE MADNESS WILL NOT STOP UNLESS YOU STOP IT!!!!

A few months ago when asked by the press if he knew gas was heading to $4.00 a gallon, Bush said, “I didn’t know that”. Unbelievable on so many different levels.

How did it happen that when Clinton left office there was a surplus yet the Republicans still decry Democrats as the “spend” party. The blatant attempt to buy off the American people with “tax rebates” that drained resources was only one of the many cynical strategies of this current administration who took the reins of gov’t with the slogan “Anything but Clinton”! Now they point the finger and say this all began in the Clinton years! Get real, it started with Daddy Bush, just like the Iraq war is GWB Jr’s incredibly expensive, in terms of lives and money, therapy for his psychological problems with his father. I pray Obama has the courage and strength to lead us out of this mess, but I can’t help wondering if, just maybe, we might have benefitted more from another Clinton in the White House, who for all her flaws showed she had the guts and fire to withstand incredible pressure from members of her own political party even. And, by the way, is anyone else as disgusted as I am at the truly cynical choice of Palin as Veep? The Republican leadership is so moronically chauvinistic they figure any woman will win the supporters of Hillary Clinton. Even one so beset with scandal, politically and personal, she has succeeded in drawing attention away from the rapidly degenerating dementia of McCain…or maybe that was the plan all along.

This is a sad time in America’s history. Stop the blame game for once, there is more than enough to go around. Harry Reid said Thursday “we do not know what to do.” Well, if the bailout plan is so bad, then where is the PLAN B Harry? We are waiting…

A “give loans to the poor” strategy started under Clinton, not Bush. The Democrats are just as much to blame as the Republicans. To blame George W Bush for all of our financial problems is inaccurate. You say McCain = Bush. This is not true. You don’t know that Obama has a better solution to this problem. He talks about regulation, but who said McCain is against regulation? McCain is for accountability and his policies do not mirror GWB. The democrats have succeeded in convincing a lot of people that the so called Bush/McCain/Republican machine is responsible for our fiscal problems. It’s too bad because it is factually incorrect.

McShame is just afraid to face our next persident OMABA on the issue because it will not be at his Town Hall! Love it what a dumb move on his part. The Pub’s cried wolf once the American people will not fall for it again.

WMD’s anyone? In the first place why should the American citizens buy another pig in a poke (with or without lipstick) from this man. He has continually lied to the American public. So how do we know he is not lying again. He started his presidency as a staunch right wing nationalist, and now that his friends are in trouble; he becomes a socialist and wants the US citizens to bail them out after they screwed the whole country. I was taught to be responsible for my own financial well being, as this was the American way. When wall street was allowed to treat this country like the wild west, I didn’t hear anything from Bush or congress about reigning them in. I do not feel that the taxpayers should be bailing out corporations, Wall St etc. I was under the impression that this was a free enterprise system. If businesses had the ability to make money then they prospered, if not they went under and where replaced by another business that could make it. CEO’s and others should not be rewarded for porking the country. The stock market is no longer a gamble when people invest, it is a guaranteed profit now. These continuing bailouts, gives them the attitude that they can do whatever they wish, and the taxpayer will foot the bill, and so far they are right. This is going to be another savings and loan thing. The taxpayers will pay the bill, and no one will be at fault; no one will go to jail. The US taxpayer are still paying for what happened in the savings and loans mess and Enron etc. When is it going to end? When there are 2 classes the super rich and the poor? If this turns into another depression then fine. We survived it before and we can again, but to reward greed and corruption is not right. The worst part about this; beside the bailout, is that there is no guarantee that the we wont go into a depression even after spending 700 billion to a trillion and a half or more. I say no to the bailout. This has got to stop.

A bullet you only fire once… like landing on the deck of a ship and declaring a war over that is still not over several years later. Sorry. There is no credibility at the WH on any issue whatsoever.

Oil company makes 1 billion and Washington holds hearings demanding answers. 700 Billion to buy “toxic” loans and no hearing. If it were only dems the repubs would call for hearings. If it were repubs the dems would demand hearings. It is both thus no hearings. First step should be to fire and change everyone involved. Then set it up so the market can regulate it. There shouldn’t be a company so large it alone can tank the economy. Break up Mac and Mae. Break up these companies and jail the crooks.

Frankie6151,
You’re pretty much the only idiot who has posted thus far. You need to READ what others have written and open your mind – You’re still stuck in a “My candidate is better than your candidate” mentality – AND YES BUSH HAS LIED REPEATEDLY. Go back to watching CNN. Wow…Get a clue.

All we are going to hear is a bunch of chimp sounds and really really silly bushisms. Oh and him preaching about terror terror terror

TOMMY CHONG FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

Obama wants to debates instead of actually correct this problem—-fine. He can debate Palin, while McCain fixes this mess.

Quack, quack. Who cares what this guy says anymore? If he moved up several notches in credibility and effectiveness, he might reach the point of being irrelevant. Admittedly, that’s an improvement over pathetic, which is what he is now. It’s so obvious he can’t wait to get back to Crawford.

A REMEMBER A STORY
“THE LITTLE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF”
THIS WOULD BE FUNNY IF IT WASNT REAL

Unless Bush is trying to explain “My Pet Goat”, I doubt that his speech will have much impact.

Every commet I read simply displays the ingorance and lack of respect for authorty that so many of Americans have.

Hmmm…let’s look at the ploy:
Last night: Palin readies the country for McCain’s impending move by stating that this could turn into another Depression….This morning: McCain makes his move by calling for a suspension of campaigns so he can go to Capitol Hill to champion TARP…Tonight, Bush justifies McCain’s suspension.
Machia-Rovian!!!

When will dems ever own up to this mess? Never, like kids they just point to everyone else… New York Times… 9-11-2003 Business section, New agency proposed to oversee freddie and fannie, don’t forget last two paragraphs.

Every commet I read simply displays the ingorance and lack of respect for authorty that so many of Americans have.

In case you didn’t know, your congress has a lower appoval rating than Bush. We the people know who are reponsible for this mess and many will get tossed out come November…. follow the money trail from Freddie May and Fannie Mac and you’ll end up in the filthy back pockets of Senenator’s Obama, Dodd and Clinton, etc.

Notice who is one the list here for Goldman Sachs and how much they were paid check out 2006 alone and you will puke another bush appointee
2007 Lloyd Blankfein $27,600,000 $15,500,000 $43,100,000
2006 Lloyd Blankfein $27,800,000 $15,700,000 $43,500,000

2004 Henry Paulson $600,000 $11,660,000 $12,260,000

First The Savings and Loan and Now Wall Street. No Maverick. Corrupt McCain.
From the Wikipedia. Unlike McCain’s Lies, This is The Truth. Same McCain, Different Failure. Our Country cannot afford McCain/Palin.
The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences.

You know all this talk of our economy crumbling, our retirement disappearing, our families suffering, and so on has been happening for a while little by little. I’ve personally spoke to republicans who say that they are not all for themselves (get what you can take) or Steel from the poor give more back to the rich)who say that those who suffer just are not trying hard enough. Well I want just one of those people to live my life a single mother of 4 girls working 1 job because I can’t get 2. Can’t get any government assistance because funds are not available or I make too much. (Sorry sweethearts Wal-Mart don’t pay that well) Anyways back to my point I want one of those money hungry republicans to get off their high horse and live my life for 6 mos. Do my job, pay my bills, and see if they can handle it. The people who are suffering the most are not suffering because we don’t work hard enough (cause we are the reason they can sit on their high horse) (Cause without the little bottom feeders there is no big man to feed us more BS)we are suffering because every chance we get to succeed in life is taken from us to do things like bailout wallstreet and etc. We did not create this mess. We didn’t ask the prez. to go to war with a country who wants us gone just to take our hard earned money and rebuild it. But we are doing that so instead of helping the people in our own country, giving our elderly what they deserve, or putting money into the schools for our children we are helping better a country who is just sitting back waiting for the right time to strike back. You know I hear so many people say our children are our future so be good to them. What are we doing for them right now! Sitting back to watch them starve to death, be uneducated, and struggling with life just so a few people in wallstreet and big oil and sit on their rump and enjoy their satisfaction knowing it’s not them. It’s not them so why do they care? The Prez. Isn’t that little man on the bottom and quite frankly never has been. Daddy has made sure of that. But as a young American myself, I can’t help but to say unfortunately this year I’m not sure I will vote. I’m beginning to believe it’s all a rig anyway. But I sit and see all that’s going on and I wonder will it even help at this point. Why didn’t we impeach GWB. We as Americans wanted to impeach Clinton for getting a blow job from someone other than his wife (which all of us have done at some point in our life(weather we admit it or not)) yet we allow harm to be done to us by this prez. What did a blow job do to us? But as an American I am using the right given to me by my forefathers and saying this I see a bunch of people going into office that I don’t believe can fix whats happening. This is Why… Obama is somebodys puppet, saying everything we want to hear at just the right time and acting as if he understands all of our problems from the poor bottom feeders to the rich who are lining their pockets. NOBODY is that good. McCain has not even the decency to appear where he should be how can he run a country. And Ron Paul has some good ideas as do the rest running, but Ron Paul has some out there ideas. But as a final note if I had to vote today because between Obama and McCain they are way too iffy I would chose Ron Paul only because he maybe the person with the out the box mind and out there ideas, might, just might, get us Americans out there and out of these problems we face. We have allowed the President to screw everything up for OUR FUTURE. Then maybe Our FUTURE can help fix the problems. Get someone who is so out there he may just listen to us not just the other politicians or bigwigs at the top. I do apologize if I have offended anyone but this is my opinion. (And Yes I know what they say about opinions and I don’t care)I do understand this seems to be one jumbled mess but, so is our country. If I as a young American am so jumbled and confused imagine how the rest of our VOTING youth is feeling. How do we make an informed decision if we are not informed properly?

The US Government is behind 911 – Doctors in Physics & Science of major universities have proven it was an inside job – why is everyone so suprised that the US Government is now stealing $700 Billion from them? I don’t get it – The murder, lies, & stealing will continue until it is stopped. The only way to stop it is REVOLUTION. But that will never happen because everyone is too afraid to lose what little they have – so they will continue to be F’D over in hopes that they can keep the smallest shread of their way of life.
