These people need & deserve help.
But the sign should read Bushville!
This economic collapse happened on President Bush’s watch!!
If this sign brings in assistance for these people – then it is worth it no matter who you name it after.
I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??
Please explain that to the millions of children going without!

This is news today, but pretty soon we’re all gonna be moving to Obamaville. Remember, save your dollars, because you may need them to start a fire with.

Right on! Right on! Right on! Absolutely hilarious and so true. Hurts, don’t it.

and how much have those complaining about the sign donated to these folks? more maobama sheeple baaa!

The entire US economy is Obamaville. Hey, what’s another 2 trillion in debt just approved? O-Bow-Mao travels the world appologizing, bowing, and scraping, whilst redistributing the wealth and bankrupting the country.

Gary T. It must be nice to live in your world where you haven’t a clue as to what caused the economy to collapse and when it started. Bush added gas to the fire by not acting as he should have (I am sure out of fear of being called a racist since that seems to work), but the catalyst started in the Clinton administration.

“Wastin’ away again in cold Obamaville…”. Just a preview of things to come for a whole lot more Americans. Has any thought been given to how many families will go bankrupt and lose everything just because they were unable to pay their Ocommiecare premiums? Between that crime, Crap & Tax and the obscene federal spending binge; by this time next year, the dollar will have achieved parity with Zimbabwe and our economy will resemble the Weimar Republic. And the NOrwegians bestow a Nobel prize on the head criminal perpetrators; Barrack Hussein Obama and his trusty sidekick Algore.
“From tiny ACORNs mighty Marxists grow.”

There ya go again. Bush this Bush that. Just wish for once the freaking
lying moochin left would be accountable.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

The $789 billion hand out to unions, special interest groups and government employees not only didn’t do anything, it mortgaged the country’s future. I’m no Bush lover, but keep in mind the huge deficits started in 2008 a year after the Dems took over Congress. Congress controls the purse strings, not the President.

Obamaville now that is funny. That guy is a liberal elitist that only supports the ideology of wealth redistribution via by mandate. Maybe if these homeless people got off their asses and actually attempted to seek employment instead of mooching off of the people that propagate this type of behavior, there would not be a need for places like tent cities. Provide for the sake of providing does not help. These people are smarter than you think, and as long as people “help” (enslave) these people will not learn how to be self sufficient, and continue to take advantage of you and the system.

How’s that empty rhetoric hopey changey working out for the gullible sheeple?

Change is all we have left – the change in our pockets that us. Thats Obama for bankrupting the nation with your pork laden stiminulous, pork laden bailouts, making some pay for others cars, attempting cap and trade BS, and on and on. You certainly have redistributed the wealth – over to China in debt for our kids and grandkids to “try” and repay. Socialism is a disease and Obama is the carrier.

This land is your obamaland,
this land is my obamaland,
from bankrupt california,
to the wall street wasteland,
this land was stole from you and me.

Yeah Fary, its always Bush’s fault…Hows that clown in chief handling America’s problems? By going overseas and saying the US is bad. You voted for BO, you are the ones that should be living in the tents…along with the other 56 millions morons.

I’m sorry, I am wrong, the collapse was the concerted effort of Democrats since Carter, via the Community Reinvestment Act!

Bush WARNED CONgress of the coming collapse but idiots such as Bawney Fwanks said Bush was wrong!!!

No Dodd/Frank sub-primes to worry about, no ACORN to opine,”you don’t need no jobs,credit,or income” Comrade Obama, Pol Pot Pelosi, & Kim Jong Reid will tend to your every need. As Teddy Kennedy stokes the Furnace awaiting your descent into his deserved paradise. A little “Jonestown Kool-Aid anyone?

2010. Take back the nation in 2010. Take back the House and Senate in 2010. Save the nation. Balance of power in 2010. Take back the House and Senate in 2010. Volunteer, donate, vote, save the nation in 2010.

Blaming it on BUSH has long gone for all those idiots that cling to that notion……we get what we vote for…..this wonderful CHANGE- its all on every one of us.

Gary T. is extremely funny in trying to Blame Bush after a year of Obambi’s failure after failure. Remember, “He who blames others, has their own personal failure to hide”! ~”From Hope…to Dope”!~

If someone wanted to destroy the U.S. economy, what policy would they pursue that hasn’t already been adopted by the Obama administration?

no , this is all obama , when are you people going to man up and take credit for what obama has done to the economy .
are you still going to be blaming bush for obamas screw up’s in 4 years.

we spent a trillion tax payer dollars on stimulus unemployment is worse then when we started . where are the real jobs not the bogus jobs that they have been caught at .

you want jobs open the east and west coast of the united states up for offshore drilling for every job in the oilfield there are 10 support jobs.
cooks, electrians ,plumbers, welders ,truck drivers, boat crews. they have people who’s job it is ,is to make beds all day.

Just as the White House…the media…The GOVT….Cover up anything negative about their Messiah Obama….this sign was taken down by Obama worshippers who hide all negatives about their lying Messiah Obama.

They say The Earth is Hot…when it’s cold…they say they saved jobs when millions are still losing their jobs…They say Central Europe doesn’t need a missile Shield as Iran is building bombs and Russia is testing missiles.

They say they care about the Bl@cks as 35% are out of work..Obama says he is a Christian yet NEVER goes to Church

They say they will win in Afghanistan…yet the are sending half of the troops asked for.>>They really asked for 60,000 with 40,000 at least but the media and the White House never told us this….then they say the troops with be taken out in 2011…leaving our enemies a strategy of just having to wait until we leave..

This say Rev Wright was NOT an influence on the Obama’s ./..even though they were at that Church for 20 years…They said Bill Ayers was not a Friend….when they knew full well he is a very close friend…as were/are Many Marxists and communists throughout Obama’s lifetime….ACORN SEIU….Howard Zinn..and Van Jones…etc….are all radical Communists…yet the white House and their controlled Creepy friends in the MSM cover all this up.

It’s all about Spin…lies….constantly campaigning….and throwing those caught under a bus…until they find them a Secret Govt position somewhere for a while.

Obama is an Evil man…Pelosi Reid ..Kerry…Schumer….Durbin…the entire Democrat Congressional block is under an evil mindset….

So…tearing down a sign the homeless made saying the truth…is nothing to these people.

America make a huge mistake voting in Dems in Congress and this Godless messiah Obama in the White House.

Wake up…Stand Up….Go to Tea party Rallies…Mail all the Reps in office…Vote them ALL out in 2010 and this Lying Obama out in 2012….then , and only then..Truth can be heard.

Gary T., you are truly an idiot. Bush was president during the beginning of the crisis, but Obama has made is 3 times worse by putting a greater strain on the economy. If you don’t get it, please take a course in economics, or start reading the news. If anyone is to be jailed, it should be the bankers who took our money and invested it in these junk mortgages that people ultimately couldn’t and wouldn’t pay…

“”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”"”"IF THE “OBAMAVILLE” inhabitants had WATCHED this BEFORE they VOTED for barry, perhaps they would NOT be residents… of Obamaville… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw < If You are worried AT ALL about your financial FUTURE you had better START HERE and work your way up to speed as to WHAT has happened to your COUNTRY! Good Luck

Yeah, it’s Obamaville, and there’s more of them going to be springing up or growing larger all over the country. I think his name should be attached, because then all the Obama supporters can hear the call to action and lend a hand — oh wait — they are still waiting for their free monthly mortgage payment. Get that sign back up!

Don’t say the Economic collapse happened on Bush’s watch- not that I agree with everything Bush, but it was after the Democrats toook control of Congress three years ago that the economy started slipping because of some of the bills they passed. And it’s only gotten worse since Obama “stimulus”.

i don’t care what the sign reads or whose name it bears…the facts speak loud enough. we can’t pin this on only bush or only obama. it is a government problem and a harsh and ugly reality. where were all these tent cities ten years ago? non-existant! it is time for a much bigger change than obama had in mind!

Gary, I hate to break this to you, but before the 100th Democrat congress was elected in 2006, George Bush’s economy was moving along nicely with growth at over 4% and unemployment well within norms.
Once the Democrats took over all that changed.
Now that Obama has taken control and with the help of the 11th Democrat congress, it has been downhill ever since.
This is 100% on Obama and the Democrats.
Blaming Bush for all of Obama’s mistakes won’t fly anymore and frankly I think people like you need to think next time before they vote for something as ambiguous and hollow as “hope and change”.

Hey, This is how socialism works. Get used to it!!!
Having fun yet?

If you don’t like ‘politics as usual’, check out http://www.GOOOH.com. GOOOH stands for Get Out Of Our House and is a movement to replace all 435 members of the House of Representatives in November 2010. It is completely non-partisan approach to begin to fixing Washington. There is a plan developed to elect genuine citizen representatives – free from special interest money and the failed policies of both parties. It is a great way to turn frustration in effective action. GOOOH for it !!!!

That’s right Gary, Blame Bush.
Have some more KOOL-AID while you’re at it.
Who exactly do you want to see prosecuted?

While Gary T. is correct that the economy “collapsed” during the Bush presidency, the FACT is that its catalyst was the mortgage industry meltdown, which was fueled by Democrat-created policies that started during the Carter years, and were further expanded during the Clinton years (i.e. Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd, et. al.). President Bush warned congress repeatedly that the mortgage meltdown was going to happen, yet congress did nothing to prevent it. Hence, Bush’s hands were tired, and the economy is in a shambles.

So now we have the great “O” as our president, and everything he wants to do (bail-outs, TARP, Cap & Trade, Health Care, etc. etc. etc.) will cause our economy to fall even further into the proverbial toilet.

Bottom line is that even the most complacent and ignorant observer should be able to see that “O” is determined to destroy our nation. He’s a fascist/socialist, pure and simple. He’s without question the most incompetent, unqualified, and inexperienced person to ever hold the office of POTUS.

God help the U.S.A.

We are the land of the superfical. ————We worship Hollywood where nothing is real, everyone pretends to be someone else and we get all excited and elect the same.—————–Every incuminate regardless of party, should be limited to two terms……….the one serving now in office, and the other serving in JAIL.

I’d like to offer another “golden oldie”, Pete:

“Hopey daze are here again
The skies are full of CO2 again,
The Kenyan lies and flies to “Hope’n'changin’
Just to make Algore some loot.”

And perhaps a limerick:

“There was a young thug from Mombasa,
They named him Barrack Obama
He pimped for Algore,
The rich climate whore,
Then makes us all call him “Massa”.

“From tiny ACORNs mighty Marxists grow.”

Excuse me, that’s the 111th Democrat congress!

Gary T can’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster? Let me help: Liberal policy and vote pandering caused this. Democrats are currently in power. There will be no investigations. If this could be linked to Republicans, do you think Pelosi would waste a second setting up show trials? Especially with a disastrous ‘10 election facing Democrats?

Dear Gary T.
Never mind all those Obama funds that went to saving some CA jobs that didn’t need saving after all.
Here’s to looking forward, eh?
The problem is reacting rather than pro-acting.

gary t at 12:41 p.m., you think children are going without now? wait ’till they start having to pay off the debts incurred under obama and the democrats in congress for the last two terms. current total debt is $57 Trillion, the highest debt ratio in history. that’s $186,717 per man, woman and child – - or $746,868 per family of 4, $32,104 more debt per family than last year.

Last year total debt increased $3 Trillion, 8 times faster than GDP. and the democratic leadership is going to bump that debt up another $2 trillion in the next few days.

children today better enjoy however little they’ve got right now ’cause it’s changing fast.

Gary T, get your head out of the sand. This collapse came about due to liberal morons like barney frank, and organizations like acorn who made it mandatory for banks to lend to people who had no business getting loans. You are truly dumb.

I bet ACORN probably picked up these homeless and fed them before taking them to several differnt polling locations to vote for Obama more than once, Well here is the change and the hope that they wanted. Every wonder what happened to the Aferican American woman who was crying and stated “I will never have to work agian, Obabma will take care for me” ??

Given that Congress, who approves all spending, has been under control of the democrats for going on three years now,the city name rightly should be Obamaville. Given the democrats passed the legislation that started the mortgage upheaval back in ‘77 maybe the name should be Democratville.

Trying to blame Bush for things done by his opponents gets awful tiring after awhile. Given Pelosi personally aware of the issues on Wall Street as far back as January 2003, people should be questioning their Congressional Representatives whythey sat on their hands and did nothing to stop a catastrophe they knew was in progress.

There is only one solution for ‘We the People’, and that is to vote all the folks in office out. maybe at that point they will understand they work for the people; and while we are at it, we should cancel their retirement to save money as they have not earned it over the past decade or so.

put in jail for what? because the economy does what it always will do…work in cycles?
shut up you fckng retarded liberal

This is a peek into what is to come under this administration. They have sabataged this economy and made it worse.
Like dead fish Rahmn said never let a crisis go, that you can take advantage of! From Hoovervilles to Obamavilles.
This puppet president does not have a clue. He has no experience. Should have been vetted more from Big Media.

Properity will return when Obamahdinejad is gone.

The funny thing is all the blame attached to different figureheads of the same government. Maybe its not just obama or bush, why don’t we blame the government. In this present situation and most situations government is the problem. Nobody can run your life better than you. Get the government out of our lives.

1/20/13 DAY OF FREEEDOM

Prosperity will return when Obamahdinejad is gone.

As for the cause of the crisis, it’s called affirmative action lending and its principal promoters were Democrats Dodd, Franks, Clinton and Obamahdinejad.

The Republicans are guilty of complacency in the face of a dire economic threat but the threat itself came from the redistributionist Democrats.

It happened under Bush’s watch, yes.
But the democrats were the ones who promoted the reckless mortgage lending.

example:

Maxine Waters (D) in 2003:

Mr. Chairman, we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and in particular at Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Mr. Frank Raines. Everything in the 1992 act has worked just fine. In fact, the GSEs have exceeded their housing goals

So Gary T. Obama’s spending us out of depression… How’s that working for your great grand children? You can
only blame Bush for so long before you run out of excuses. Anything Obama and the democrats have done for this
country in the last year is on a very short list, if the list exists at all. I often wondered what it would
be like to live in a third world country. Guess we’ll find out soon.

Sure Gary T. It’s always Bush’s fault. Never the Great One’s. Good Lord, pass the Cool-Aid.

when things started to go bad, Bush and his Administration started to work to address
the economy problems. Obama and the Liberal and Democratic Congress made every go further to Hell!
You get what you voted for and pay for!

Every time Obama’s cash register rings…another tent goes up in Obamaville!

Gary T. you are a damn fool. When are you lame liberals going to let your false prophet Obama own his position? If he’s not out blaming everyone else like the coward he is then he has his liberal zombies blaming everyone else but him. What’s wrong? He can’t take the heat of being president? What a bunch of babies you libs are turning out to be.

I agree with Gary here. The name Obamaville is clearly a reference to the Hoovervilles of the Great Depression. Just as the Great Depression began under Hoover, not Roosevelt, the Great Recession began under Bush, not Obama, so this shantytown should be called a Bushville, not an Obamaville.

I’m pretty sure that people who actually have the slightest clue as to how politics work in reality understand that both Bush and Obama are puppets…mascots even. The people responsible for our economic mess are the people who vote on legislation.

Gary T. said: These people need & deserve help.
But the sign should read Bushville!
This economic collapse happened on President Bush’s watch!!
If this sign brings in assistance for these people – then it is worth it no matter who you name it after.
I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??
Please explain that to the millions of children going without!

I have sympathy for the homeless folks, but that looks like a pretty expensive sign. I wonder how, and who, paid for it.

Yeah Blame it on Bush as usual. Just remember, it was the congress controlled by the democrats that wouldn’t allow fannie mae to to be reined in and acorn pushing banks to make loans they couldn’t qualify for.

If you have probems with Obamaville all you libera/progressives then let’s change it to Hope and Changeville. It is now month 11 of the Hope and Change administration. More than enough time for the liberals to begin to own the mess. Particularly in as much as congress has been controled by these jerks since midway in Bush’s last term. So three years into the mess the Dems still want to blame others. Part of the play book.

Who are these offended people getting “shocked and appalled”? Do they have so little knowledge of history as not to know about Hoovervilles?

Incompetence runs in the family. (But at least they can dance and put on a smiling face..)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLjovgiNZfE

Hey, Gary T., let us not forget that the “economic collapse’ began when the Dem’s took control of the House and Senate and they’re reign of destruction still continues!

I wanted to add to my Gary T. said.
Were the homeless there a year ago? The answer is that Obama has had a chance to help the economy but he refused to do it. Just more spending money we don’t have. You will change your tune in about 6 months from now. What positive thing has Obama done for the economy? Spend more? Millions of children going without? Who are these children? Are you counting yourself? This is Obama’s fault and it is now his problem to fix, which he will not because it isn’t in his or his followers interest, if he helps he will lose the chance to have more control over us. Bush has been gone for almost a year, the democrats have been in power in congress for over 2 years.

Pete Seeger December 12th, 2009 – 1:03 pm

second verse same as the first…:)

Gary T do you live under a rock? Anyone with the slightest knowledge of the US government knows that Congress spends the money, not the President. The President sets policy and signs the spending bills. You want to find someone to blame then look to the feckless Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and the moronic Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The Democrat control of Congress is what accelerated the meltdown. Indeed Bush disappointed many conservatives with his loose spending and expansion of government programs such as the prescription drug plan. Heck even Obama complained about the Bush deficit. But Bush was a serious lightweight when it came to spending when compared to the oafish Obama. His ability to drive a deficit to new heights never imagined is legendary. He has a increased the deficit 4 fold in less than a year to trillions of dollars. He and Pelosi and Reid have spent more than all previous administrations/legislatures combined. It is historic how Obama and his cronies are going to destroy the core of this country. Just hope that November 2010 gets here quickly because there is going to be a serious reckoning coming. Obama is going to fall faster than Tiger Woods.

I’m thrilled that someone finally has the guts to put this sign up for all to see. Out here in CA Obama’s henchmen have hijacked and killed the once 4th greatest economy on earth. This camp is the leading edge of what the Obama people have in store for ‘We The People” for whom they and their academic elitists, corrupt public unions and their ACORN friends have nothing but contempt!

“This man is a HERO”, says this Californian who used to be a ‘true believer’ in all this Democrat elitist BS. These people have destroyed millions of jobs, therefore destroyed, millions of families in CA. It’s all coming your way! . . . unless you DO SOMETHING about these parasitic weasels stealing your freedom so they can steal your money, just for themselves and their friends.

Hey Gary T.
Yes, the recession started on Bush’s watch just like the 2000 recession started on Clinton’s watch. The difference is Bush saved it and the fallout of 9/11 with tax cuts. Here, Obama has allowed it to fester and grow with out of control spending. you can’t spend your way out of it. Would you spend your way out of bankruptcy?

Obamaville, est 2008 by GWBush and the “fiscal conservatives” in congress.

This was obviously was not a government worker that came up with this sign because it worked, bringing attention and probably some much needed help.

I’m just appalled those racists would dare say such things about our Savior Obama!

You stupid democrats blaming Bush for everything…grow up you morons. When will Obama man up to what he’s doing to our country? How many years are you going to blame Bush? Remember Dodd, Reid, Peolisi and all of those clowns were making decisions, not just Bush. Idiots!

I bet liberal Democrats blame bush if they are constipated…. GET OVER IT>>> THIS IS OBAMAS GAME TO LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA CONSTANTLY DROPS THE BALL lol~~~~!!!!!!

I love the Obama nuts getting mad when their man gets any type of criticism, but they themselves were leading the charge against Bush calling him a war criminal and Nazi and so forth. Unfortunatley for them, there are alot of people in this country with the growing sentiment that Obama mania, will put us in Obama ville!

What happened to all the other comments?

Are you people serious? Bush’s fault? Are you really serious? Obama has spent triple what Bush spent in 8 years…our country is headed for distruction. No jobs, health care for illegal’s, are you people all on drugs? How’s that change working for you?

Sure, you can pass the blame to 8 years of Bush. But, when you build so much hype on Hope and Change, what else do you expect. The voters believed Obama’s garbage and now they defend his lack real change and accountability. Let’s get real.

The worse Black President we have ever had…

Silly libs. All that Hope & Changey stuff was about bailing out Wall Street. Critics of the sign need to stop wasting our time and go back to figuring out how they’re gonna cheat on their taxes.

>>I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??

Amen… Pelosi and H Reid’s Congress is driving this country into a downward spiral… and the libtards keep voting them in instead of jailing these crooks

Obumma! is THE worst president in our history, bar none! This guy is a one term usurper at best!!!!!

Let me get this straight… these people are are living in a homeless tent community because the current administration is pushing legislation which make living unsustainable for many of its own citizens, and some viewers are only offended by the friggin’ sign? Blind party obedience has always amazed me.

I’m offended that people are being forced into these type of living conditions, and that nobody in our government is doing anything to fix the problem, not that someone exercised their first amendment rights to peacefully speak their mind.

And for those whose answer is simply to “blame it on Bush”, two things:

1.) How do you absolve Bill Clinton for the 9/11 attacks seven months into Bush’s presidency by saying “it’s Bush’s fault”, and absolve Obama ten months into his presidency by saying the exact same thing? This type of logic cannot be based on a standard set of principles, other than “we must protect whoever has a “D” attached to their name. How can you allow your mind to function like this and sleep at night?

2.) Simply blaming Bush does not address an answer to the problem. I am more interested in seeing the problem fixed. Obama is currently in the White House, not Bush. And quite frankly, his administration as well as congress, has been pushing through legislation which exacerbates the situation instead of alleviating it. I’d have a lot more respect for Obama if he would seriously tackle this issue instead of using it as as excuse to allow more government encroachment into the private sector, while passing the buck backwards to Bush. When we no longer have an economic situation which is forcing people into these type of living conditions then we debate who’s more at fault until we are blue in the face. But for right now, I think putting pressure on our current government officials to make sure more of us don’t end up in these homeless tent communities should take priority.

These people need & deserve help.
But the sign should read Obamaville!
This economic collapse happened on President Oboma’s watch!!
If this sign brings in assistance for these people – then it is worth it no matter who you name it after.
I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??
Please explain that to the millions of children going without!

Gary T.
You seem to forget (very conveniently) that for the last two years of the Buch Administration we had the botox queen Nancy Pelosi in charge of the House.
If you ever read the Constitution, you might have remembered that the President can’t spend a dime unless it is appropriated by the HOUSE.

You might consider getting a tudor to guide you through that simple document. It is not as large as the 2,000 + pages of garbage the leftists are attempting to shove down our throat.

President Obama should be proud, this is what he wants. People totally depended on him.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TRUTH is stranger than lies… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw <EVER NOTICE the facial features that resemble Malcom-X ? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The Economic collapse isn’t the fault of Obama or Bush. It was greedy banks and lenders taking advantage of people. Obama sure isn’t doing much to get us out of this mess though. The stimulus bill was a joke. There was so much wasteful spending in that bill.

Obama vs. Bush is hilarious. The village should be called GOVSPENDINGVILLE. Or TAXVILLE. People please understand, poverty is crated by Government.

It’s all Bush’s fault, but I’m still waiting for my free gas, and kitchen. Obama did promise all these things and more and I’m sure he’ll come through. Obama has great track record so far!

Signed,
Gary (Still waiting in Obamaville)

Obamaville, est 2006 by founder GWB and his band of merry “fiscal conservatives” in congress.

Don’t put all the blame on the guy with the long ears…..How about lover lips Barny and that dumb azz Dodd…….theirs lots of blame to go around….how about you azz holes in foreign cars….poor George tried a couple of times to get to the bottom of the mess…..Dems stopped him cold

Bush’s wars, Bush’s economy, Bush’s bailout, Bush’s debt, Bush, Bush, Bush! I’m getting pretty sick of it. You Obama fans better wake up, he’s just more of the same old stuff including globalism. They are determined to give America away. The New World Order is just around the corner. Believe it. It’s about to happen.

Obamaville, est 2009 by founder BHO and his band of merry “insane liberals” in congress.

Its all about change and hope, when you have had enough, remove him from office..Ive had enough. I hope I can find a job.

“I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??”

Dear Gary T.,

Would that mean anyone who voted for those policies and for the “stimulus”?
If so, then B.O. would be in the stocks as well.
He is doing everything he can to derail the economy.
More jobs have been created in the Public Sector, the gov’t, than the Private sector, Free Enterprise, since Obama has been in office.
What say you to that?
You cannot blame GW forever. What has Barack done for you lately?

Fall 2005: Booming housing market halts abruptly; from the fourth quarter of 2005 to first quarter of 2006. August

2006: U.S. Home Construction Index is down over 40% as of mid-August 2006 compared to a yr earlier.

I see the Loons are still trying to blame Boooosh for the problems we’re in. Truth is, the economy problems started with the Democrat created housing bubble bursting. Bush warned congress 17 times in eight years that they needed to increase their oversight, but thanks to crooks like Barney Frank, noooooo!

Bush also didn’t create the CRA, and the “community organizers” pressuring banks to make loans to people who couldn’t afford them. Oh wait, Obama was one of those “organizers”. And since Obama has been in office, all he’s done is make matters worse.

Welcome to Obama-land, where everybody’s poor (except Obama).

Actually, it should be called ClintonBushObamaville, since they are all partly responsible.

I never understood why homeless people live in cold weather areas. The minute I became homeless is the minute I start out for the deep south, I would walk there if need be.

Where is the US Marshall’s Office? Arrest that fake presidential impersonator you worthless criminal lackies!

Hang the son of a bitch for treason! Burn his stinking corpse when he’s dead. Then throw EVERY member of Congress into prison forever. Lets dust off the Constitution and start over. Kill every cop who tries to get in the way as traitors.

79 years ago the country had Hoovervills make shift shacks and tent cities of individuals and famillies displaced and homeless because of the depression and massive unemployment. Hoover told the country that prosperity is just around the corner. Unemployment went up and conditions became worse. Obama is more or less saying that prosperity and good jobs are just around the corner(in 2010) hang on go with my plan. Hoover was wrong Obama is wrong and he knows it.

Obama’s neo-marxism will lead to the down fall of America. It will bankrupt us and leave us vulnerable to Europe. He is destroying this county, you useful idiots, wake up!

The big question we all need to find an answer for is “How do the politicians responsible for spending this money think they’re going to be reelected?”

WHy aren’t they worried about that? Do they know something we don’t know yet? Such as, it’s not going to be a republic anymore when Obama gets through? They’ll rule by decree, not by election? Is that the plan.

I’m certain they would not be spending this money and ramming these bills through if they had any intention of continuing under the Constitution. OMG, they hate that document and can’t wait for it to be gone.

Obama’s tent cities will be everywhere unless we take up the real fight which is to get rid of everyone in office, and stop flailing at windmills like climate control and health care and the deficit and gun control. Those are just diversions to keep us busy while Obama the Figurehead blocks the real players which are all his czars and Chicago cronies. Obama is a dilattante, a figurine, a stick figure. Andy Stern, Richard Creamer, Podesta, Emmanuel, Soros, etc., they are the ones working like demons to accomplish the transformation – they use Obama like a sock puppet and he loves the attention of it all, this is truly the match made in hell.

This is Obamas america – there is still the followers who will follow him not matter what – unemployment could reach 20% and these fools would still be blaming bush. We can tell them to wake up but they are limited with thier thoughts they will just follow, follow, follow

I live in Colo. Springs. These camps are here because two years ago the city was sued by the aclu for trying to stop this. Most of the indigents who have moved to these camps have been rejected from our shelters for drugs, alcohol and fights. All of the camps are along our hiking and bike trails along Fountain Creek. It extends from Manitou Springs To Fountain CO. The numbers are in the houndreds if not more. At night, driving up the freeway you can see campfires and grills.

Gary T. you are a moron. The economy went into recession during the last few months of Bush’s last term because of stupid policies that encouraged people who had no business buying a home to apply for no doc. loans offered by government backed lenders who were pushed by democrats in congress. The recession could have been mitigated and over by now if they had lowered taxes and not spent trillions of dollars. Employers are not hiring because they know that taxes will be raised to pay for the huge deficits that Obama and the democrats have run up and they will not hire until they know for sure that cap and tax and Obamacare are dead. The only people that should be held accountable for this mess are those in congress (republican or democrat) that voted for the community reinvestment act and other irresponsible policies that encouraged no money down, no doc loans. No one should go to jail, but a lot of incompetents in congress need to be fired by the voters in 2010 and 2012.

Yea Gary T, mostly started by your buddy Barney Frank. There is NO hope now. The country has gone total Socialist with a President who hates everything and everyone here except Immelt from GE and others like him. Job loss will continue. Your rights are gone. Business will continue to leave as the rouge agency EPA continues to use junk science for political gain. Tent cities will grow larger. The best part is those of us with the money we’ll have the last laugh because we won’t be investing here and you’ll be left to beg for crumbs from your Government.

Wait!! That guy was white.. No way white people would ever help anyone living in ObamaVille

“America’s chickens comin home to roost”
“No, No, No! Not God Bless America. God damn america, its in the bible”

Look the problem isn’t one party or the other. The problem is that we keep electing attorneys to Congress. Let’s smarten up and elect engineers, teachers, and plumbers. These are people who don’t lose sight of what living within one’s means is.

What was that relationship between Raines and Obama?

Definitely is Obamaville.

Gary T: I think there was a little sarcasm in his post.

That’s odd…I understood that Barney Frank and Chris Dodd flooded the financial institutions i.e., Citi etc. with toxic assets..ya know like giving home loans to people who definately could not affort them – its more like

BRING’N DOWN THE HOUSE – but not in vain

I forgot to mention our biggest concern. What does the city do to adress this problem? Our waterway is being seriously polluted and trees and bike trails are being destroyed.

Seems like the money spent on that jerkoff sign coulda been used to help some of them folks out… This economy is the direct result of Financial Services Modernization Act/Gramm–Leach–Bliley, which President Obama had about zero to do with. But you knew that already.

It’s typical of Obama and his supporters to continue to blame President Bush for problems that they are causing. The Bush spending programs pale in comparison to what Obama and his ilk are costing this country. As Margaret Thatcher once said: “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

The unemployment rate was 6% when Bush left office. You try to continue blaming Bush, but it doesn’t work anymore because it makes no sense. This is Odumbo’s mess, I am a business owner and I will not hire again until Mr Anti-business clown boy Obama is gone, as a matter of fact, I will probably lay off a few more around Christmas. I hope the ones I lay off can believe in the change because I only lay off Odumbo supporters.

Please reference Barney Frank, Chris Dodd DEMOCRATS, and google “sub prime lending”, oh and look up “Community Re-Investment Act” and see who was behind that.

annandwrong says

“Obamaville, est 2006 by founder GWB and his band of merry “fiscal conservatives” in congress”

Please DO NOT reference Nancy Pelosi, speaker/leader of the DEMOCRAT congress as “fiscal conservative” (inducted as speaker Jan 4, 2007), and I don’t know about “merry” either…

Please put down the kool-aid, take a deep breath, and get a grip.

Those idiots who blame it on Bush are wrong. Cheney did it, he was the brains behind Bush and we all know that Halliburton told Cheney what to do. When Bush was Governor of Texas Cheney was controlling Bush with mind control.

Obama is the biggest white boy ever hes Dan Quail on Steroids. The poor get poorer and Obama and his elitist liberal grifters get richer and richer. Wheres the moral outrage form the looney left ! Hes Bush but on crack…were still in two wars…wheres the gay rights / … And this idiot is putting us into debt we will not recover from!

HELP US

I think that Gary T. Has forgotten that Carter and Clinton forced the banks to lend to undeserving people who would not and could not repay their home loans. The Bush administration tried to implement protections and the Dem’s stopped it. This debacle has manifested itself with this current careless and inexperienced administation.

Obama’s anti-business policies will be breeding more Obamavilles to come. His socialist program is designed to produce stagnation and inflation. The return of Jimmy Carter economics.

Those sleeping bags in Obamaville must smell really sweet!

Wow, this one struck a nerve. Them lib Dems don’t like “towns” named
after their mini gods.

During the great depression armadillos were called Hoover hogs. Are they now known as Obammy hogs?

It isn’t Bush vs. Obama or left vs. right or democrat vs. republican or liberal vs. conservative. It’s the American people vs. the oligarch that is running our shame of a gov’t. Every president the past 100 years has been beholden to the corporations and bankers, they are the ones running the show. Look at how many lobbyists there are in DC and open your eyes and minds to the truth of the matter. We are in this economic situation because of what happened 100 years ago with the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank which is no more federal than Federal Express. It is not run by our gov’t but they manage to rake us over the coals at every turn. The best thing that EVERYONE could do is go to You Tube and watch the video titled “The Obama Deception”. Don’t let the title mislead you. It could read “The Nixon Deception, The McCain Deception, The Bush Deception, The Reagan Deception, etc, etc ad nauseum”. Our elections are a shame and we are controlled by the main stream media that is run by the oligarchs. Look up climate-gate and see what’s going on with the hoax there too that they keep brushing under the rug. We are in a world of hurt and it doesn’t matter who the president is as they are all opposition control.

Hes been in office almost year now. Are things getting better for you Obama supporters? Or anyone you know?
Simply blaming bush for Obama’s failures wont work.
And its going to get worse.
Our president has deeply flawed policies.

I’ve got a baccalaureate in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA. I’m on unemployment for the first time in my life.

Hard work and sacrifice doesn’t cut it in Obama’s America. It’s all about being a victim and surrendering yourself to the leftist government overlords who will take care of everything.

Once Obama and his leftist radicals succeed in destroying America, there will be no place to go.

“…that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”.
Abraham Lincoln

How dare they mention the one’s name in a negative light! RAAAACCCIIIISTTTTTTS!!!!!!

I Like how they have the usual Obamamedia deflections…

Kenneth Feinberg US Pay Csar wrote in to ABC “Why everyone knows signs like that cost $150… They could have donated that money to pay for one hour of a federal government workers salary and made a real difference!”

Al Gore sent us a Tweet ” I know my signs and that one costs $150! Why you could pay for one hour of electricity at my Nashville Mansion with that amount… what a waste!”

Timothy Geithner wrote in “The homeless stole the sign from in front of Goldman Sachs… It cost $150,000.00 and saved 300 Jobs! give it back!

Besides that everyone knows there is no Homeless problem when there is a Democrat in the White House!

The economic collapse came from Americans living beyond their means. Those who point the finger were running up credit cards, buying homes they could not afford, financing vacations – Americans spent money they never had, and that is why we are in this mess.

It has nothing to do with a President – Liberal or Conservative. Look in the mirror, and for once America point the finger at yourself. We as a country did this to ourselves. Make better personal decisions, and stop pointing the finger at others, for your own dumb financial decisions and mistakes.

Don’t be like our government and spend money you do not have – start scaling back to reality. I love how it is always someone else’s fault. America has become the country of complainers and weakness. Time to man up and get tough again like our grandparents and great-grandparents. They never spent money they did not earn.

Grimmjack66 December 12th, 2009 – 2:51 pm:

Kudos on your comments!

To all you lib a$$hats blaming this on Bush. The president couldn’t spend a cent, without congress’ ok. Who took over congress in 2006?! Dumba$$es. You idiots got what you deserved, you have Obama now. Unfortunately, we the informed, have to suffer

To the Gary T’s of the World who blame Bush — still
Those who understand politics also understand the term “lame duck presidency”. This is a mostly powerless president since they do not control or have much influence over Congress. Of the 536 legislators in Washington, including the President, the Senate and the House during the last two years of Bush admin, only one, Bush was Republican controlled. The other 535 Democratic controlled. And we already know that Barney Franks and Chris Dodd of Congress were doing things that now we see are damaging – such as forcing loans that were unstable. But the real point is – Democrats have been in power for the last 3 years. Look up the phrase lame duck presidency. Since Obama, who has gotten us to $12 trillion in debt, that we likely cannot pay, and wants $1.8 trillion more, wants to widen the debt with public health.and who has threatened huge job loss during the recession with his CO2 is a crime EPA legislation (lots of green plants that breathe CO2 are now certain to go to jail) it is very clear he wants to widen the recession. No intelligent human would buy threatening the US with job loss via CO2 legislation if Congress does not cause a lower job loss (still high) with cap and trade can be said to be financially all for the US. This president needs to be impeached for his clear threat to financially damage the US. If not, we want a lame duck presidency for him, with a congress that also keeps him and his dictatorship minded czars in check.

When are you Bush haters going to hold this Fascist (yes I said Fascist. Look up the definition) President responsible for ANYTHING. He is in office, he wagged his boney finger at us as though he was our father and said that if we followed him (yes God Obama) then unemployment wouldn’t rise past 8%. Now it is 10% (17% real unemployment). If you disagree with his policies you are a racist (Bush was said to be ingnorant although he was a graduate of Yale and Harvard with an MBA. Same school that TRAITOR John Kerry attended and Bush had a higher GPA)and no one was called a racist. He has borrowed almost 2 TRILLION dollars; more than ANY President in history. He bows to kings and dictators all over the world and apologizes for America at every chance.
America has freed and fed BILLIONS over the centuries. We went to war to free people like him (oh yeah he had no black ancestor in slavery).
A REPUBLICAN FREED THE SLAVES! Get over it Liberals. REPUBLICANS PASSSED THE CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS BECAUSE AL GORE,SR AND ROBERT BYRD AND OTHER DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE VOTED AGAINST IT. GET OVER IT LIBERALS. IT WAS DEMOCRATS IN THE SOUTH NOT REPUBLICANS THAT GAVE BLACKS PROBLEMS. DEMOCRATS ARE THE RACISTS. They put people in groups (blacks, gays, illegals) not as individual human beings.
Democrats are pushing a faked GlobalWarming scare and they will impose taxes that will double all prices. We are a carbon based people. CO2 IS NOT A POLLUTANT. WE EXHALE IT YOU BOOBS! When health care goes through God Obama will be able to tell us, because of course he is so brilliant he knows what we need, what to eat, when and how much to exercise. When we can and can’t go to the bathroom. I don’t want God Obama, Popped Eyed Pelosi (millionheiress), Slobbering Barney Frank, et al telling me how to live. Besides they won’t follow their own warped advice. Barry O still smokes, Pelosi is still insane, and Barney is still doing young men and his boyfriends are still running illegal services out of his home (the last one was pushing pot).
GET OVER IT. DEMOCRAT PARYT IS THE MOST DEBASED, DEBAUCHED PARTY IN HISTORY.
Have a nice day

when will the dumocrats quit trying to blame bush for everything and accept the fact that with obama,piglosi, and reid in chg, we’re in trouble ? oh, and let’s not forget barnie fwank. gee, quite the “leaders” – you must be sooo proud.

Gary T,
what do you have sh@t for brains. Your guy said if the stimulus passed unemployment would not go past 8%. What is it like 10% now? And it’s higher than that if you factor in the people who have stopped looking for jobs or are underemployed, etc. Face it your guy s@cks and he s@cks more everyday!!

You liberals just can’t get over Bush and continue to blame him. As someone said
he did nothing to help matters, but the collapse did begin with Clinton and the
threat to banks if they did not provide mortgages to anyone with a request whether
they could afford them or not. Defiance would lead to being “regulated out of
business” according to the New York Times article explaining the Clinton move in
1999. Sorry, this current situation is all BO’s – so blame away and watch
demorats get voted out in about 10 months! LOL!

People just do not understand what socialism is, and what it does to a country and her people. We are all at fault for not teaching these stupid kids of ours why America is special and that their lifestyle and full tummy is a result of blood , sweat and tears of many great Americans that have come before us.

As a poster before me stated, and I like..So I repost:

1/20/13 DAY OF FREEEDOM

The future is ours, we are Americans. We do what we want when we want, the feds work for us.

Obama is doing the same thing Bush started, except Obama in doing it on steroids, but, Obama is not going to cut taxes, and that is where he will screw up. Big time.

Sorry Gary T but it’s time you and the liberal left wake up from your fantasy world and start realizing Bush is gone, has been gone for almost a year. Your side won and is in charge. Attempting to defect Obama’s mistakes, bad decisions, and irresponsibity to Bush won’t work any longer. As soon as your Chosen One took office everything that happened since is on his watch, his responsibility. Your people are in charge and have been for almost one year. The so-called wacked-out, rabid, unAmerican, hate-monger, Nazi right cannot stop Obama and the Dems in Washington, they have the fricking votes to do whatever they want. 11.04.2010 (mid-terms) is the first step. 11.04.2012 will be the next step to bring about real change. Regardless if Dem or Rep it’s time to purge Washington of socialism, fraud, hypocrisy, lobbyists, and self-serving elected politicians. Take power away from Acorn, the unions, corporations, and self-serving special interest groups.

The divide between the have and the have-nots grows. Republicans, including Bush, warned about what was happening with Fannie and Freddie! It’s all on youtube! Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Meeks (NY), et al., dismissed them. They said there was ‘…nothing wrong with Fannie and Freddie…” The problem is that the media didn’t share that. They were so biased in their reporting, in the tank for Obama, needed to be “part of history” so they could run around with their elite friends and discuss how much better they are than the rest of us, that they did not tell the American people the truth about Bush, Obama, or the 2006 Congress. And, they are still not telling the truth. How many Americans are actually aware of all of the power that the government has accumulated since January? It’s a disgraceful shakedown. And, the media is complicit in the takeover of our children’s future! We must stand up. You must call, write, fax your congressmen. Please do not get tired, do not feel overwhelmed that every day it is something new, and do not waiver. There is a “Code Red Rally” being held in DC on Tuesday, 12/15 @ 1:00. If you can go, please attend!

Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we’ve several failed presidencies–led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait– they are repudiated, spat out. LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party.
Barack Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. Failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it: He doesn’t understand the American people, and may loathe them. Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard says he has lost control of his message. He’s overexposed. Clarice Feldman of American Thinker said that Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate.
Stiffle this incompetant, inadequate, sub par community organizer in 2010 and not only you yourself VOTE but talk to your friends and impress upon them the seriousness of getting to the polls.
I want my country back – how about you.

Jason, how did you get an MBA? Didn’t they teach you economics? The recession has been going on for a couple yrs now, not just the last 11 months. Most forecasts say the worst of the recession is over. Quit your crying.
Overlords? Maybe you should look in the mirror to figure out why you were canned instead of blaming gov’t for all of your problems.

You white sycophants voted for this “BOY Name Berry”, you reap what you sow. I hope he taxes the middle class into the Ghetto. Maybe that will wake you up.

“I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.”

New film is coming.It is called “RESIDENT EVIL 2″ P is ommitted

Thousands of people lose their homes, The Obama plan has saved only 31000. Put the money where the people can spend it in the USA not the bank to invest over seas

Ann:

Global warming is real. It occurred when science cooked the books and released all that pollution.

Gary T. December 12th, 2009 – 12:41 pm

These people need & deserve help.
But the sign should read Bushville!
This economic collapse happened on President Bush’s watch!!
If this sign brings in assistance for these people – then it is worth it no matter who you name it after.
I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??
Please explain that to the millions of children going without! — No, that happened on Nancy Pelosi’s, Barney Frank’s, Chris Dodd’s, Chuck “the Shmuck” Schumer’s, Maxine Water’s, and other Democrat’s watch. I’m tired of hearing President Bush was at fault when the Republicans tried to stop the cancer of Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae, but all Demorats voted not to investigate them. Learn your history, Gary T! When Bush was President, we couldn’t find workers because the economy was so good. 14% growth under President Bush.

I never thought I would take something from Michael Moore but “Dude Where Is My Country.” It has become weaker in the eyes of the world (something Obama said he was going to change). Read foreign newspapers and its obvious they think Obama is weak, a disappointment, heading America in the wrong direction and even a joke in some cases. During Bush there was all this noise from the left about how Bush and the US looked in the eyes of the rest of the world. Spending is out of control like a drunk sailor on shore leave who just got paid. The White House and its staff and advisors are socialists. There is no transparency something we were promised. Obama feels as weak and possibly weaker than Carter. If we are faced with a major military threat he will run.

*********************TELEVISION IS DESTROYING ALL of your minds, GET AWAY FROM IT!!!! http://www.infowars.com <Click Listen Now!

I agree with what the former CIA agent said on Hannity last night. He said the White House may agree with calling terrorism a “man caused disaster”, but the CIA and U.S. Military does not because “we” have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution. Let that be a warning to the the Obama Administration. When push comes to shove, we patriots will take back our nation lickety split!

I fail to see how you call this Bushville. Obama has failed as much as Bush to do anything about this beyond telling them all to get jobs. No meaningful progress on homelessness, no new deal, no progressive public housing project like we had over half a century ago spearheaded by engineers who want to incorporate a green design into future sustainable infrastructure that gives all citizens a chance to be free and independent without having to work for corrupt corporations doing jobs the world really doesn’t need done right now just to survive and have a roof over their heads.

Are you kidding? We don’t have the money for that! Don’t you know we have to pay off another wave of rich criminals? People just love Obama because he represents hope, the black Jesus, and he tells naive and desperate junkies exactly what they want to hear. So they forget about what isn’t being done and go into their religious “look on the bright side” automation mode. And viciously tear down anyone who challenges their denial.

“Pay the wealthy, and send the poor to the coal mines! Look, look look, look, look… We’re making progress!” Like a broken Manchurian propaganda machine. Everything will be OK; we just need to give the perpetrators some more of your lifeblood… I know its complicated, but trust us, its for your own good!

Incidentally I thought Bush was a lot worse.

Coming to a city, state, and town near you soon.

Bush’s fault? LOL

How many idiots will blame the economic collapse of America on George W. Bush?

America has never been in a more terrible situation than under the three-headed tyrant, Obamapelosireid.

Kutz, you’re not very quick are you? The housing market ponzi scheme was all over by Nov 2006.

That would make Frist and DeLay/Boehner the merry group of borrow and spend idiots leaders.

Might I point out, fir the last two years of Bush we had a democrate senate and congress running things. Bush was a lame duck president. Out congress and senate did this to us. and Obama has done nothing to help, but has added fuel to the fire, with his socialist agenda(Marxism, Communist). He does not care how many of live in tents as long as he can circumvent our constitution and turn us from the freedom our fore fathers fought for, and turn us into the serfdom of a communist regime. Our president Is a Communist!!! And I also belive he is a secret muslum. And I wait for the day when he will recieve gods judgment.

Republicans are really good at blaming democrats for their own mistakes. Take this for instance… Bush left the economy in free fall and now that it’s starting to come to fruition you blame it on those evil LiBRULZ! Just goes to show that facts and truth dont mean a thing anymore, it’s whoever’s propaganda is loudest. Also the national debt doubled under GWB from 4 trillion to 11 trillion when he left office, so whining about Obama and his 800 billion dollar stimulus is hypocritical at best. The rest of the world thinks republicans are everything that is wrong with America, and I tend to agree.

I wonder how long you leftist will continue to blame Bush for everything? Yea this started under Bush’s watch but NOBAMA is making it worse, and even better yet now Pelosi is adding to our trillion dollar deficit even more. What happened to her promise to “Clean up Congress and wasteful spending”? Get a clue Frank and Dodd started this whole economic collapse and walk away scott free…amazing how no one wants to look at those two idiots while Dodd is living in his nice almost free house and Frank is living it up with his pot smoking,drug dealing boyfriend!! How’s that hope and change working for ya….LMAO November 2010 can’t come soon enough for me!!

There will be more Obamavilles…. the wild fire started under Bush…but Obama poured gas on it and making it far worse… and it will get even worse with the plans he has made…but that may be what he wants… total dependence on him and his party… and total control

Bill:

The world has for a very long time, considered and rumored that Americans are stupid. We finally manned up and a very large number of us went to the polls and conclusively removed all doubt in the last election.

I have room for them in my two free homes I received from failed Countrywide Mortgage chief Angelo. I know I was instrumental in destroying the economy, working with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, beginning in 2006, but I’m willing to make it up in any way I can.

Senator Chris Dodd – Connecticut

“Give the money to the shelter” WTF! The homeless want nothing to do with the shelters! The homeless need IMMEDIATE REAL HOUSING, IMMEDIATE DISABILITY BENEFITS, IMMEDIATE TRADE/CAREER TRAINING, and IMMEDIATE JOBS!

NO MORE RELIGIOUS INSANITY, NO MORE 12-STEPS RELIGIOUS CULTS, NO MORE COUNSELING, NO MORE GROUP THERAPY!

Gary T is a jack ass like all liberals. Bush didn’t cause anything. 44% of Americans wish Bush was back in office. Also, in 10 years, Bush will be looked at as one of the best. Are you the final person that supports the racist president Obama. Can’t you see what an elitist he and his fat pig wife are? Also his fat racist buddy Oprah……. You are a fool and I feel bad for your boyfriend who lies with you.

There’s nothing wrong with the sign. I’m surprised nobody mentioned it being an homage to the Hoovervilles during the start of the Great Depression, where homeless camps had signs blaming their plight on Hoover. I find it funny that many are blaming Bush for the crisis, even though Obama has spent over a trillion dollars trying to fix it, while seeing unemployment get worse and worse. What we need are free market solutions, not more big government from the Bush/Obama years.

It has become The Obama of desolation, This man will sell us out to the world government, in a heart beat, and we will no longer be the land of the free. But will we be home of the brave? I would encourage everone to educate themselves as to what our founding fathers belived, when they created the greatest nation to ever have existed. God help us, because our government won,t. The larger a government gets the more taxes we will pay, and the less freedom we will have.

I doubt this comment will even get through, but. “The world has for a very long time, considered and rumored that Americans are stupid. We finally manned up and a very large number of us went to the polls and conclusively removed all doubt in the last election.”

Actually because we elected Obama they think we are much less stupid than before. The rest of the world hates republicans, not democrats. They see you as the dumb redneck rightwing fascists that you are. The problem with anti-americanism was always that they would consider all Americans, including liberals to be dumb fat rednecks, like yourselves. But hey you live in your insular bubble with your propaganda that teaches you to hate. You read websites that reinforce your worldview. You see the world through a massive propaganda machine. So I dont really blame you for what you are like the rest of the world does, they dont know about America. You are brainwashed by a well funded machine, its the people that run the machine that are truly evil. You are just not very smart, and are easy to take advantage of.

George W may have set the stage by buying into a lie, but the BIG SHOW belongs solely to Obama and his corrupt cronies!

At the rate Obama is going, we’re all going to be living in Obamaville by the time we’re able to vote him out in 2012.

This is the result of redistributing the wealth, penalizing the hard working contributors to our nation and rewarding the none productive ones that have been brainwashed into a intitlement mentallty.All you need to do is read the history of Argentina to see what progressive and facist goverments produce this is just one example.However trying to point out to a left wing liberal they are wrong is like talking to a rock.

Looks like the Obama recovery is underway.

Bloomberg: Stockpiles in October unexpectedly climbed 0.2 percent, the first gain since August 2008, while exports rose to the highest level in 11 months, figures from the Commerce Department showed this week. Commerce Department data today showed retail sales in November advanced twice as much as economists anticipated.

Credit Suisse today raised its forecast for gross domestic product this quarter to a gain of 4.5 percent at an annual rate from the 3.5 percent pace projected at the start of week. Stockpiles alone will contribute almost 3 percentage points of growth.

Michael you have no understanding of what led to the financial collapse. It did not start under Bush. The wheels were set in motion years earlier. The first culprit was the Carter administration who forced banks and financial institutions to ease up on lending regulations. They literally forced them to start lending to people who previously did not quality. Regan did nothing to change those regulations. Neither did Bush. Clinton got legislation passed that forced these institutions to liberalize lending regulations even more, allowing more people who previously did not qualify to now qualify. Bush pushed home ownership by streamlining requlations which in effect got even more people into homes. America has been a consumer, spend driven economy for many years. People were able to buy homes with adjustable-rate mortgages, balloon notes, no money down, bad credit, not having to prove their income, and other wild plans. At the same time credit card debt skyrocketed, in addition to people buying new cars, new furniture, etc. People were encouraged to refinance their homes and use the equity to buy cars, etc. You would be surprised at the number of people with high loan-to-values with the home mortages, i.e. 95%m 95%, and 100%. Michael I hope that little brain of yours can understand this, understand that the problem crosses many administrations and involves both political parties. I realize your your party’s spin and kool-aid has convinced you that’s its all the Republicans fault but it’s not.

Jesus christ breitbart mods, you really like to post nothing but whacked out republican comments. This is a comments section, not an echo chamber. Atleast my comments dont refer to anyones “fat pig wife” nor do I accuse anyone of being a homosexual because they dont share my political views. My comments were relatively tame compared to most of this stuff. I can only assume that whoever moderates this stuff is atleast as whacked out as the republicans posting on here. SARAH SARAH SARAH!!!

Yeah, Obama caused everything that’s wrong with America in ONE year! The guy is a machine of death and destruction!

You half-literate morons who comprise the new “conservative” brand need to go back to school and learn a bit of history and how government works. The “liberal elite” label is tired and Obama has proved he’s more in line with the Bush Doctrine than any scared Midwest house wife would dare admit- because they would have to admit that they are wrong! Obamaville should be called Goldman Sachsville, because the BANKS are the true evil force eroding our nation…. not one guy.

Put down the tinfoil hat and read something for a change.

Now, now. Let’s get the facts straight.

Jimmy Carter lowered qualifications for home loans so that people who couldn’t otherwise qualify for home loans could get them.

Bill Clinton further lowered the qualifications during his administration.

McCain and Bush (neither of whom I particularly like) warned in writing and on film of pending economic disaster, unless the qualifications were stiffened. When McCain and Bush tried to pass legislation that would regulated Fanny, Freddie, et al, Barney Frank and other Democrats, who controlled congress, defeated their attempts. Furthermore, you can see videos on YouTube of Democrats, including Barny Frank, stating that Fanny, Freddy and others were in fine shape only months before the crash. Of course, after everything crashed, the Democrats blammed it on Bush.

Anyway, who was the fourth biggest recipient of money from Fanny & Freddie?

Nonetheless, I do partially blame McCain and Bush for all of this – because they weren’t strong enough, and didn’t have the leadership skills, to prevent the disaster.

How’s that hopey changey thing workin’ out for ya’

You idiots that blame Bush for the economy better do your research. The economic house of cards fell due to mortgage defaults of Fannie Mea & Freddie Mac which gave loans to people who couldn’t afford them. Bush tried to fix this as he was advised the bottom was about to drop out but your blessed democrats lied and blocked all his efforts. You can thank Carter & Clinton and the democratic congress and their cronies for the economic mess we are in. Notice things weren’t nearly as bad until the democrats got hold of the house/senate the last two years Bush was in. Bleeding Heart liberals who want the government to take care of people are ruining this country. The current regime is full of socialists. Socialism takes away the incentive to do well because it gets redistributed to the lazy. In fact, socialism is for the lazy because it says “don’t worry/be happy” the government will take care of everything. Reality is everyone but the elitists in charge and the entertainers live like paupers. You Obama praisers better wake up because the pompous, arrogant socialist and his czars are out to ruin this country. And if you think he isn’t a Muslim then tell me why he doesn’t buy birthday presents or Christmas presents for his kids (his words, People Magazine interview) both holidays “not” celebrated by Muslims along with a zillion other clues to his real beliefs. Wake up!

Somewhere in Africa a village is missing its idiot!

Whoever made that “entitlement culture” comment, I got a bridge to sell you buddy. Tell it to those crazy banana people, self-important entitlement parasites that they are, thinking they have a right to demand shelter from a 30% income tax on DRINKING WATER. Do you even know what year this is?

Some things are wants and some things are needs…

Honestly a rational sense of entitlement is what we need today, because I seriously doubt Jesus or the aliens are going to descend to give us the permission we seem to be waiting for to use the technology we’ve had sitting on the cobwebbed shelves of greed and neglect for the better part of four decades now to do some real good.

What, no OBAMA BEER yet? His mug’s on everything else… Better yet, a new KoolAid flavor. Plus we should have his kisser on EVERYTHING from Happy Meals to designer jeans to window shades. Can’t get enough of this guy!

There will be many more Obamavilles. . . Wait until all these new taxes kick in, the unemployment rate of today will look like the good old days. Bush was financial disaster and signed every spending bill to pass his desk, but Obama makes Bush look fiscally responsible.

Those claiming the economic crisis was created by Bush may want to watch the following Senate hearings video from 2004. These are the people that should be held responsible for the economic meltdown. The Presidents favorite corrupt community organizer groups ACORN, SEUI, and affiliates also played a role in the economic meltdown.

Bush was pretty bad but Obama is worse. I thought maybe the change might be to spend less money than Bush but Obama and his Congress spends 4 times more than Bush and it’s not working at all. Remember the Democrats owned Congress since January 2006 and that’s where all the spending comes from.

Gary T wake up and smell the crap. Obumer has out spent every President in the history of the world. And for what. The stimulus money has gone from the 6 million to a company in OR to make wooden arrows to the 6 million to Hillarys’ Pollster. It’s people like you Gary T that are the problem. You want to blame everyone but the people you should be blaming. All the stimulus money for jobs has totaled 243 thousand per job saved. My God man how many families could Obumer have helped if he just gave the money away. So when you wake up from you drug induced coma and/or remove you head from you south orifice then talk to us about who really is the blame.

Now look here fools

Minister Obama, peace be upon him, better not see anymore of these unlawful, unpatriotic attack signs

You people better get to work, Minister Obama, peace be upon him, is making a lst of you fools and you gonna get more than lump or two if we see anymore of this

Now shut up

96% of all blacks voted for Berry, and 99% of all Gays. When you add in the Messy-cans at 85%, and the white trash at around 80% voting for those DemoRats I don’t see them losing any of their “Base”. That’s what “Berry” is counting on. The white Elitist around 8%-for the “fifth-grader” the Clintons, the Gore’s, and the Pelosi of the World want to run the aforementioned sycophants. They are doing a great job, the way I see it, we are ‘ONE-Supreme court justice’ away from taking a mandatory vacation to the Castro district in San-FranSicko.

i will be so gla when the left will finally take the blame of this crisis i mean after all obama has done
nothing to help the jobless and far as the kids going without in this country you blame that on the rich
and shamless.after all they will travel all over the world to help other kids but the ones that live in
america.if every one wants their to be folks going to jail lets start with dodd,pelosi,obama,rangel,reid,
they have all broken the law and the constitution.

Why make this racial in tone. Obama is killing this country with the help of Pelosi and Reid. They are purposely making us bankrupt and for what reason? So we can be remade in the Marxist/Socialist image. The more I think about it the more that online game called ‘2011 Obama’s Coup Fails’ (google it) is coming true. Breitbart TV had a piece on them too. if you read the histroy/storyline it says exactly how Obama is putting real Marxists in positions all over America, with them themselves on video telling us how they Love Mao Tse Tung. Obama will not even allow them to be interviewed. People like Mark Lloyd at the FCC who is about to go after Breitbart, FOX and talk radio, Cass Sunstein who want to outlaw meat and Ron Bloom the Manufacturing Czar who said the Free Market is a joke. It isn’t funny any more and Americans are waking up. Google that 2011 Obama’s Coup Fails and see what I mean.

Greg,you Obama supporters have to resort to name calling when you can’t make a legitemate argument common sense is not in your makeup.

This is a housing innovation, and so should be Barneyville or Doddville. Obama is only a willing puppet guided by the most accelerated advancement of HOPE in secular humanism and CHANGE toward godlessness that the world may ever have known. Thankfully, the coming reign of righteousness is certain. And the Lord is preparing a place for all who place their trust in him (John 14). And while we wait, we can pray for all of our leaders, including Obama, Frank and Dodd… for their protection and provision as well as for a changed heart.

Liberal democrats keep blaming Bush for what the liberal democrats they elected to Congress started when they were elected in 2006 and what Obama made worst when elected in 2008.

Berry put his hand “PICKED BOY” Eric Holder as attorney General. Now he is Putting KSM on trial in NYC. ATTENTION: NOT ONE REPUBLICAN ASKED HOLDER POINT BLANK IS KSM CONSIDERED “Guilty or NOT-Guilty at this Moment. Eric Holder would of had to answer he is “NOT-GUILTY”. That tells me they are all in bed together, and we the little sheepel are going to be like little china-men in a few years.

I guess the odds are better that President Obama would take notice , Compare to BUSH_VILLE where the only thing Bush would help you with is getting put in JAIL.We all see how he handle katrina,

When the best this ‘administration’ can do in the job stimulus bills was to ‘create or save’ between 600k and 1.3m jobs at a cost of $217 BILLION (that’s $135,000 to $352,000 per job btw and IF you believe his numbers), think about what could have been done if the money were distributed directly. President Bush DID start the TARP program (with democrats controlling the house and senate btw) – but obama has made those billions into TRILLIONS spent and no results in sight. Hell – had obama and his clowns simply had given $20,000 to each of those the most deserving (those who HAD jobs and lost them – not deadbeats who never tried) – he could have helped 10,850,000 people. Damn obama and his big-government thugs. Not only is he NOT helping the problem, but by increasing the debt so much – is making the problem worse. As to the guy with the sign – GOOD WORK! You drew attention to a problem that now will get addressed by the local community! Good work!

Greg December 12th, 2009 – 3:46 pm
Yeah, Obama caused everything that’s wrong with America in ONE year! The guy is a machine of death and destruction!

You half-literate morons who comprise the new “conservative” brand need to go back to school and learn a bit of history and how government works. The “liberal elite” label is tired and Obama has proved he’s more in line with the Bush Doctrine than any scared Midwest house wife would dare admit- because they would have to admit that they are wrong! Obamaville should be called Goldman Sachsville, because the BANKS are the true evil force eroding our nation…. not one guy.
.
Put down the tinfoil hat and read something for a change.
========================
Hey Greg, if YOU voted for liberal democrats to take over Congress in 2006 YOU started the mess the country is in. If YOU voted for Obama and more liberal democrats in 2008 YOU made the problem worst.

Folks, if you love socialism over capitalism, then you should be ecstatic! If you love the government spending billions of dollars it doesn’t have which therefore increases debt, decreases the value of the dollar and the prominance of the USA worldwide, then you should be ecstatic! If you love increased taxes, decreased personal freedoms, loss of personal responsibility, increase in ‘vicitmization’, class envy, and class warfare, then you should be ecstatic! If you are falling for the global warming hoax, then you should be ecstatic!

Do two things for me, folks…. start thinking outside the usual liberal box you are stuck in, and take an Economics 101 class. You will be amazed. Are you familiar with the Jobs Summit Obama is having right now? Why is this necessary??? It is showing us that the (alleged) ’stimulus’ spending program he put into place IS NOT WORKING! OK, he created a few temporary construction jobs….but once these roads and bridges are done, so are those jobs. Do you know that only 8% of Obama’s administration have private secore job experience?? That is the lowest % of ANY administration ever!

Folks, get over your class envy and DO something about it! How is your life any better by you bitching about how much more money someone elseis making? Take some personal responsibility and better yourself so that YOU can be one of those people making more money! Oh, wait a second…..don’t do that, because Obama, Pelosi, and Reed will just take it all away from you by increasingf your taxes to pay for their bloated gov’t programs. So….where is the incentive to better yourself? There isn’t any under socialism, which is the road the Democrat Party is taking us.

How is that hope and change thing working for you?? Lord help us – the Democrat Party is changing the America that I know and love.

Pelosiville would make a better name. She is so clueless – I think the Botox injections have gone to her brain. Of course Obama and Bush are complicit in the wholesale sellout of what used to be America.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Actually after the Federal Government realized that Nagan and Blanco (both democrats) where total incompetents they responded rather quickly. My Guard unit sat on our duffs for 3 days waiting for orders, until the by law we were precluded by law from assisting the people in New Orleans.

Too bad Nagan let all those school buses flood out and ordered his people to shelter in place in a city below sea level, huh? Those of us who worked that disaster know whose fault the misery from Katrina was caused by.

Blame Bush! Blame Bush! Dear God, don’t you put any pressure on Obama! He’s got too much on his plate to deal with this situation. How can you point fingers at Obama? He’s in Oslo, Norway claiming his Nobel Peace Prize along with the $1.4 Million purse that comes with it! These homeless need health care, not food and shelter!! For all you liberals who read this, I am being sarcastic.

That’s right, Bush and co. had nothing to do with the failed economy, it was all CARTERS fault. Ha!

get use to it, there will be a lot of Obumavilles when Heath Care passes,
and quit Blamming Bush.
Obuma is spending our money like water, it’s not the Gov. it’s our’s the Gov. has no money
if we all quick paying taxes the Gov would be broke.
our country is being turned into a 3rd world thanks to all of you who vote for this morom comm. org.
the house of cards is getting weaker every day and with the phoney numbers they keep putting out.
all we have left to save us is 2010 and 2012.

For the Bushville commentor. Without dismissing whatever Bush did or did not do – this current crisis was born over many decades time; however, the major fuel for it was born as a result of the dot.com bubble of the late 90’s – that historic bubble of corporate fraud and greed (remember Enron – WorldCom) – some $10 Trillion of the markes crashed with it in 2000. Then in 2000, HUD ramped up the ground rules of the creation of the housing bubble – the bubble that led to the mortgage crisis.

http://www.hud.gov/library/bookshelf12/pressrel/pr00-317.html

Indeed it is a crying shame that Bush did not put a stop to it.

This is Obama’s economy and his fault. Historically, he knows as well as any politician that the way to create jobs and the standard of living is not by deficit spending, but by lowering taxes and creating incentives for small business. But Obama’s a blind idealogue, determined to spread misery equally. Expect more and more Obamavilles everywhere.

You mean those people don’t have homes? http://www.DumpChrisDodd.com

Born Again December 12th, 2009 – 4:56 pm
That’s right, Bush and co. had nothing to do with the failed economy, it was all CARTERS fault. Ha!
===================
Just add “and liberal democrats” right behind Carter in your statement and you’ll be right on. Ha! Ha!

Obama, Pelosi and Reid are pushing their agenda like there’s no tomorrow. All we hear is Health Care Reform, Cap and Trade, Union Card check, etc, etc… additional bailouts and other wasteful programs. The Bush tax cuts expire at this time next year, but thats just the start. Everything the DEMs do and say will cost us.

Consumers and Small Businesses, (the real job generators) are scared to death about the uncertainty of the future. Higher taxes and opressive regulations, People dont know what to expect other than higher taxes. If consumers dont spend, businesses dont hire. With 16 or 17% unemployed or underemployed. The so-called economic recovery looks pretty bleak. So things dont look good for the DEMs next november.

To quote Bill Clinton in 1992 “It’s the economy stupid!”. You would think Obama would be smart enough to not screw things up so bad, but I guess he’s not. He’s just a slick talkin’ empty suit with George Soro’s pulling the strings, it’s ironic that Soros is raking it in, ($$$) in the middle of a global recession. But that’s another discussion…

To Born Again: President Bush was definately NOT a fiscal conservative. And obama is a bloody sociallist. And these two individuals made things much worse during their respective watches. So – I guess you are seeing the light and, like me, want a TRUE fiscal conservative in office! Welcome to the group!! Now we can only hope the REAL conservatives take control of the Republican Party and the ‘ooh – let’s vote for a black guy because he’s . . . experienced – no . . . intelligent . . . no . . . umm . . . well – he’s black! ‘ voters wake up and vote that candidate, regardless of race. (And don’t tell me when 96% of the black people and over 85% of the self-identified liberal whites all thought this guy was better then any other candidate during that election . . . Race shouldn’t matter – but apparently it does to those who most vocally call for a color-blind society. Irony.)

Obama is a naive embarrassment. Independents (that voted him into office) realize this now, only staunch democrats that can’t see any other way still support him. It’s a sad state of affairs when folks will allow our country to devolve like this over partisan politics.

Carter and Clinton allowed the economic strife by forcing banks to make loans to those unable to pay them back. Bush tried to correct it but the Democrats thwarted him. Liberals make a hash of everything they touch. Look at the big cities and states run by them. Now they run roughshod over the whole USA. 2010 is our chance to make a correction.

Back in the 30’s they called those places “Hooverville”. Hmmm…

Re: Gary T.

You guys just keep chanting Bush, Bush, Bush. Obama and his ilk bear much more responsibility than Bush. Sorry but it’s the Dem’s turn to wear the coat for a while. Check your history if you can read something besides science fiction.

Clinton signed the bill that force Fanny Freddie and AIG to make low interest loans to people. Bush warned and tried to fix it only to be met with resistance from the likes of Barney Franks who told everyone there was nothing wrong. Seems to me that the Dems were in control of House (purse strings) and Senate for the last two years of Bush’s term.

As long as you put on blinders… don’t expect things to get better. And quit with the imbecilic blame game… we elected all of them. We are responsible for not holding their feet to the fire.

Just think–the unemployement rate was about 5% in late 2006 when Democrats took over Congress, the Stock Market was at record highs…yes some of it happened on Bush’s watch…but because of the interference of the Democrats in Congress…and the housing crisis did not start until after Dems took Congress. Then they try to blame W for THEIR Democratic corruption. W didn’t take campaign cash from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, but Obama, Dodd and many other Democrats did. Just follow the money. Immelt at GE has billions to earn from supporting “global warming.” Researchers have millions in research grants to receive by “proving” “global warming.” Follow the money! (Why did you think the UN was so against going after Saddam Hussein??? Because remember, they were all getting money under the table from Saddam Hussein.) The truth hurts! Barack Obama says he’s against torture of terrorists but he has enhanced funding of the systematic dismemberment of millions. Is it not torture to pull off someone’s arm? leg? head? Is it not torture to stick a needle into someone’s head? Those are the things that happen during abortion, but Obama is all for it…because he and other Democrats receive millions from the abortion industry. If the military at Abu Gharaib had given BO campaign cash, he probably wouldn’t care about “torture.” And I don’t think our military ever killed any terrorist via this “torture,” unlike the genocide of the abortion industry.

The Dems just don’t get it. They’ve never run a business or had to meet a payroll or did much of anything except some government-funded job. They think money just magically appears and that there is always more where the last batch came from. Besides, it’s clear to them that the people they are taking it from have too much anyway so they probably stole it from some poor minority person.

Their level of economic ignorance is why we, as a nation, are in the hole we now occupy. Obama is a liar and a fool who arguably hates both this country and the whites who are its majority. He is doing what he can to destroy it. The American people deserve it to a degree because they elected him, a man who could not get a security clearance, as President. However, in the past eleven months it has become clear that a lot of people have become extremely disenchanted with his actions and the difference between them and his election rhetoric. Americans are even more angry with the Democrat-run Congress.

There will be a major realignment in 2010. Hopefully the Democrats will not cheat to stop it because if they do, all bets are off. This country is armed to the teeth and there are a lot of people who are damned angry with what the ruling party has done. It won’t take much to set the powder trail off.

Gary T. and Mark you need to read up on what caused the collapse. The two basic contributers were Jimmy Carter’s Community Reinvestment Act, which was aggressively reinvigorated under Clinton, and also The Federal Reserve and its easy money policies, which have been around since 1913. Now where Obama is to blame is for prolonging the crisis via govt. interventions. Read this http://mises.org/daily/3788 and other writings at http://mises.org/ to gain a better understanding of what’s going on.

BTW, I’m really sick and tired of this misplaced compassion for the “needy” and all these freebies they “deserve”. What about some compassion for the American taxpayers who are FORCED to pay for this insane spending? And spare me this nonsense about taxing rich corporations… there is no such thing. ALL such corporations provide either a product or service and ALL tax costs are paid for by the consumers, resulting in a higher cost of living. A basic truth about taxes is that it is the middle class that will pay for everything.

“This happened on bush’s watch!!!” Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, it was after 9-11. Funny how everything that happened 1 day after bush was elected was his fault and yet here we are almost a year into Obama’s Presidency and it’s STILL all on Bush. Amazing.

Gary T. has a memory problem – he doesn’t remember obama taking time out from campaigning to join Bush and other government leaders who INSISTED that they HAD to take action IMMEDIATELY…….

I actually think it’s a good thing that Bush is “hanging around”…Liberals wouldn’t have anyone to BLAME if there was no George Bush!!

Both parties are to blame for the mess we’re in. More importantly it’s the international bankers, the Fed, IMF, and BIS along with their Wallstreet buddies and the cronies in the Congress (including the 109th, 110th and 111th Congresses–and well before that even) set up the conditions to where we’re at today. This financial meltdown started under Bush’s watch. Obama and company have added tons of gasoline to an already big fire. Don’t be pawns in the snake international bankers game. This left vs. right game is classic Communist divide and conquer. Let’s defend the Constitution and stand up for America again. The financial class is not main street. With very few exceptions they’re all crooks….

I guess the trillions added to the deficit this year alone is also Bush’s fault. Don’t get me wrong I’m not defending Bush or his administration at all. He started this out of control spending in his first years in office while returning tax revenue to the people. Then the Wars began. There is no way we can continue on the current path and still maintain fiscal stability. Next the Democrats are planning on raising the debt limit by $2 Trillion. No president in history has spent this much money so soon. The truth is there; as duty as Americans is to search it out and make a choice that goes beyond partisan politics. This is about our lives, our children’s lives, but most importantly our country’s future.

Oh God:

I’d like to know where the religious fervor people are that coronated this inept, inadequate sub par community organizer. I don’t see a lot of them saying anything to defend the mind-numbing stupidity of their vote. Air America and SNL even shoot at the pres on their broadcasts.

Are they the people that can’t pay rent and just move out to go somewhere else because they have no loyalty, morals and think of themselves only. Are they solid members of the ‘Gimmie’ group who suck at the teat of publicly funded give-away programs. I am reminded of a current joke that says One Million people attended the coronation of OBumbler and only four people in that crowd missed work that day. Are they the mindset that the government is the do-all, be-all, give-all entity in their lives, caring for them from cradle to grave at someone else’s expense because they are ‘entitled’. They must be, because they are not to be found defending their incredibly stupid decision to install this slow motion train wreck full of criminals into the white house.

So how’s that ‘Hope and Change’ working out for all you morons who couldn’t see past your outstretched hand for the freebies?

Just curious, is there any thruth to the rumor that Jimmy Carter is really concerned that his legacy of ‘America’s Worst President Ever’ is in peril to going to OBlunder? Just asking, since it seems he has acquired aso many other awards.

Obama said he was gonna fix all this. $787 billion for unemployment and, yep, it worked, we’ve got lots more of it. Sooner or later, the economy belongs to Obama and the Dems. You can’t blame Bush forever. Or perhaps we should blame Nixon, or FDR, or maybe we should blame King George III. Man up and admit the current admin doesn’t know what it’s doing! The next election will tell us where the blame for this mess lies.

When FDR came into office these places were called Hooverville. Noe Obama has come into office, and these places will be called Bushvilles!

Gary T. blah blah blah

So tell me if this, as you say, is all the fault of the Bush administration, do you believe that the correct course of action is to raise the debt ceiling almost $2 trillion dollars more. Hope and Change? It looks like “Let’s Dig the Hole Deeper” to me. Keep drinking the Kool Aid.

very funny sign!!!

Obama has actually accomplished something while in office — raising the pay for federal workers (public sector) and increasing the public sector payrolls. In a time where tax revenue is at an all-time low, and the private sector is struggling to get by, why on earth would we raise public sector pay, and create hundreds of thousands of new public sector jobs. It’s not sustainable!?! If you think things are bad now, just wait, more trouble is ahead for this once great nation.

“this is Bush’s fault”…

Some Obamabots are just so blinded they can’t even see reality. This President is the worst President we have ever had. He is presiding over the longest recession since 1939. If he just shut his mouth and stop spending money we don’t have we’d be out by now.

Raising the debt ceiling by almost $2 trillion more was something done for purely political purposes. The Dems know that they can throw borrowed money at things until the mid-term elections to make things appear to be more or less OK? After they get elected is when the proverbial dung will hit the fan. How do you folks out there think the answer to getting out of a hole is digging a deeper one?

Hey Gary T.

Hows hope and change working for you now.

Obamaville, est 2008 by GWBush and the “fiscal conservatives” in congress.

Aynwrong – WRONG as usual

How’s That Hope and Change, Hummmmm?

I blame that Bill Clinton.

No wait, He wasn’t that bad. Let’s blame Al Gore. I think that guy is sad. He’s very rich and his environmental policies would of driven the United States into permenent bankruptcy just to justify a false idea of saving the Earth, but he’s still sad.

Gary T. I agree with you-let’s jail somebody over this whole imaginary disaster! I’ve got an idea, instead of jailing Bush, under whose administration it started, let’s jail C. Dodd and Ted Kennedy since they are the members of Congress who pushed through the legislation, signed by Pres. Clinton, which started this whole “mess”. Remember the housing market bubble? I know it’s hard to think back to the beginning, but try really hard-it’s what started the economic downturn, remember? Now, since you have started thinking, now go find who FORCED the banks and FNMA to lend to folks who couldn’t afford their homes with terms not even the richest among us could afford.

Well, Kennedy has gone on to explain this to the maker-no easy feat, I bet. And, as for Dodd, he will be out of a job come next November. As least he can rely on his taxpayer funded retirement plan!!!

People seem to be all wee weed up. Just remember who brought me to the white house. The Wall Street Bankers huh I er um I me I wh erh I huh I they gave mo’ money to me than anyone else. Why are you suckers surprised by what’s happening? You been hoodwinked, Obamboozled

Here’s “Change You Can Believe In”. As soon as Maobama was elected I was laid off and had to foreclose on my home. For the first time in 10 years I was unable to pay child support so after 1 month the government suspended my driver’s license. Because of this I have permanently given up looking for work. Why bother working when the government will just steal and then waste half of what I earn and then pass that debt on to my kids anyway? I now seek government “goodies” which makes me a parasite just like our government. I suspect millions will follow. Atlas Shrugged.

It’s LIBERALS who are destroying our economy. Bush was no exception, he started the ball rolling with TARP – bailing out the very people that helped cause the financial collapse. But you can’t blame just him for signing what liberal Congress, (as of Jan 2007!), enacted piling on with trillions more of money they are borrowing from our children’s children. To be a liberal you have to BELIEVE that Congress will be able to solve our economic problems by spending even more money that they do not have. It’s as bad as believeing Tiger Woods will solve his marriage problems by getting another girl friend.

The economy started to go down hill in the Winter of 2000 when the Dot Com bubble began to burst (Clinton Era). That was more than a year before Bush took office. 911 happened. It was only Bush and a Republican Congress that kept the US from sliding into the slump that Oslama has us in now.

‘These people need & deserve help.
But the sign should read Bushville!
This economic collapse happened on President Bush’s watch!!’

This disaster happened on our Government’s watch. Don’t be a hack and do something that improves your intelligence and learn about the Constitution…you know, that document that guarentee’s your freedom. You know, that document we are all guilty of letting the elite shred for us.

When your family is falling on hard times, do you spend your way out of it? The best way to help all the people of this nation is for government to get the hell out of the way.

Obamaville is a perfect representation of the entire country after Obamawarming and Obamacare and Obamahousing and Obamabanking and Obamaautos and Obamacarboncredits in a couple years. You want to get these people out of the snow……..stop destroying the American economy by apologizing for America and making me pay reparations for being a free and capitalistic country ! ! ! MY country has saved the planet from despots, tyrants, and thugs for a couple hundred years. Stop apologizing for it.

Wow i am a republican but you yokels are crazy if you think this economic collapse started on january 20th and not in the preceding 8 years. And sorry to tell you that our boy Paulson of Goldman Sachs fame and Bush pushed for 780 million tax dollars in stimulus to bail out aig wallstreet etc. Also left us an unpaid prescription drug bill unpaid for no child left behind and kept the war costs off the books. All the while lowering taxes for Georges goldman Sachs buddies the 1-2 percent of america that earn over 250,000 per year. I am no hope and change fan but if we as republicans do not hold our elected officials accountable then we are no better than these folks who elected Pelosi Reid and Obama. We Republicans used to be the thinking party the ones with ideas and moral and fiscal responsibility. Sure would like to hear more of that than “nothing is our fault and its all the dummocrats” could have sworn we (republicans) were completely in control of governing for 6 of the past 9 years. Remember things like bridges to nowhere … Mark Foley visiting pages While denny hastert looked the other way. Come on guys screw the democrats they are going to implode but who are we going to replace them with? Boehner McCain Palin Micahel Steele?……have glenn Beck Run?? thats what we need to figure out.

Oh God:
I’d like to know where the religious fervor people are that coronated this incompetant, inept sub par community organizer from the Chicago thug society. There’s not many of them saying anything to defend the mind-numbing stupidity of their vote. Even Air America and SNL shoot at the pres.

Are they people that can’t pay rent and move out to go somewhere else because they have no loyalty, morals and think only of themselves. Are they solid members of the ‘Gimmie’ group who suck at the teat of publicly funded give-away programs. Are they the mindset that government is the do, be and give-all entity in their lives, caring for them from cradle to grave at someone else’s expense because they are ‘entitled’. They must be, because they are not to be found defending their incredibly stupid decision to install ‘Disaster Incorporated’ and his team of nitwits into the white house. Watching these criminals work is better than a slow motion train wreck.

So how’s that ‘Hope and Change’ working out for all you morons who couldn’t see past your outstretched hand for the freebies.

Is there any truth to the rumor floating around, that Jimmy Carter is really concerned his legacy of “Worst American President Ever” is going to be bestowed on OBumbler? Might as well be, the guy has stumbled into several other awards and we’re just getting started.

By the way, do libs ever actually come out and defend what they believe in or just stick to character assault and name calling for those that don’t agree with them?

But then, I ask a rhetorical question….

Welcome to new Marxist Amerika. You might pity these poor souls but soon we all will be joining them.
We are now the slaves of the elite left and right.

The Constitution is dead. There is no organized opposition that can stop these evil people.

The Republicans are just as bad. Both are heading to hell the Dems just want to get there faster than the Repubs.

The media is bought and paid for.

Religion is empty, hollow, and Christless. They will not tell us the truth.

The Federal Reserve will monetize the debt and rob you of your life’s savings and work.

Inflation is nothing more than legalized robbery.

We are no longer a nation of laws but men. We will be paying off the debt we have been yoked with for hundreds of years. Our children and grandchildren will curse our memory and live in bondage. If we decide we can’t or won’t pay it there will be global consequences.

So we have sold our souls for the convenience of borrowed prosperity. We have willing sold our birthright for the promise of free stuff and despised freedom.

Therefore, we will become slaves of the socialist global elite.

Slaves need no heat! We emit too much carbon in keeping them warm.
Slaves need no privacy! The NSA monitors your every call, email, blog, and movement.
Slaves need government run health care! The Gubmint gonna take care of us.
A slave only needs and can have what the government thinks is appropriate.
Slaves need no aspirations or education! The Gubmint gonna tell you what to think.
Slaves must worship the One.
Slaves must believe the media. No other opinions will be tolerated.
Slaves must trust those in authority.
Slaves must not question the superior wisdom of their leaders.
Slaves will not be allowed to have religious convictions that contradict the master’s religion of secular humanism.
Slaves are not allowed to sass the master.
Slaves will not be allowed to eat meat or consume diary products.
Slaves children are not their own, they belong to the government.
Slaves will not be allowed to marry.
Slaves can not have any dignity, respect, or independence.
Slaves may not be efficient to the master’s plan and may be eliminated as needed.

The master gonna take some things from us for the good of us all.

Gary T.!! Do you even know the role Barney Frank, Chris Dodds and Obama played in the mortgage crisis. Check in to it; you might learn where the train went off the track. Bush confronted Barney regarding the high risk loans Fannie Mae was making (Barney provided the federal oversight for Fannie if you didn’t know). Barney replied to Bush in Sept. 2008 that Fannie was doing great no problem… Now Fannie has TRILLIONS in toxic assets that us taxpayers are funding (not the “government”). All of the trillions being spent on bailouts, federal employee raises, is our money; not the governments. Someone in THIS administration needs to be accountable for something. The only thing I can see is the WORST President ever!! Not because of who he is, but because of his policies. He’s a (corrupt) politician, through-and-through. Paying back all of those that helped get him elected. This country is headed for a cliff and all of the spending will send us over the edge very soon.

Obama will go down as the most hated administration of all time, both past, present and future. What future we have left. I guess we will all be commarades soon, I mean commies. My parents and my grand parentts are all turning over in their graves. Shame on this counry. I did not vote for this freak, but remember those who did, you got what you wanted, but do you want what you got.

GArt T-The first ones who should be arrested is Barney Frank and Chris Dodd-both Democrats- Remember Fany and Freddie, the thing that started all this??

Obama’s Presidency and it’s STILL all on Bush. Amazing.

====================================================================================================

HMMM .. last i check President Obama didn’t start the IRAQ war , And so far thats a money pit to sustain , However Obama is driving his whole party base crazy because he has the POWER to call the end of all WARS and bring the troops home , If the iraq deadline Bush set up pass’ and we still there, then its president Obama war.

Bush was blamed for things even before he took office. And did you ever hear him make excuses or blame anyone like our current president does ?

WAYNE ROOT HIS BOOK: The conscience of a libertarian
RootforAmerica.com
Vote libertarians 2010

Read the polls! The time has come when this president has to start taking responsibility for what is going on. Blaming former administrations no longer works.

These communities used to be called Hoovervilles. My grandfather told me about them during the great depression. Considering the stellar economic leadership of our brilliant leader, calling these communities Obamavilles is quite appropriate. Thank you Obama for your grapes of wrath!

Funny how they try to attack the creator of the sign rather then the reason these people are there in the first place. For the attention they got, I’d say the sign was a great investment.

HMMM .. last i check President Obama didn’t start the IRAQ war:
Yeah he wasn’t even there to vote either.

If the planet was actually warming, these people would not be freezing!

Instead, Obama wants to take hundreds of billions of dollars out of the economy to mitigate CO2 release. What will be left of the productive economy to help these poor folks?

Obama didn’t cause the crisis, but he surely will not fix it on the path he’s on. The H in Barack H. Obama actually stands for “Hoover.”

Hey Gary T, befoore we go blaming Bush for the economic collapse, I would get your facts straight. Dem braniacs like Obama, Pelosi, and many more voted for less restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2006 against warnings from people like McCain, allowing people making 40 k a year to live in million dollar homes. The excessive foreclosures on top of a lagging economy is the reason we are in this mess. Please read more.

Maybe they can give these folks bus tickets and send them to the Tampa Bay area where winters are much warm and the homeless are getting proper treatment from their city government.

change you can believe in. We are all going to Obamaville. Listen, if the Dems, if the Liberals want us to be more like Europe why don’t we all call a general strike – just shut this country down. Don’t go call in sick, don’t call a vacation day because you will have to pay taxes on that – just don’t earn or spend one d__n dollar for one single solidary day – you think they will get the message then. You liberals out there with your high and mighty attiudes apparently you think that you are above it all – well you are not – if you work – your going to pay through the nose until you bleed to death – just like a conservative – your kids are not and mean not have a future – they will be just like you a slave to the government – the government will make life and death decisions for you – the government will tell you how many children you can have – the government will provide housing for you and they won’t be the mansions that your leaders live in – your government will feed you substandard food – just look at the school system – you will get dog food and not even the dog food gourmet kind – you don’t think it can happen – do you really think that the Germans thought that there would be death camps – I don’t think so. One day in the not so distant future you will remember the USA that you help to destroy and you will regret what you lost. What is wrong with you people that you should be so full of hate for this country – a country that has given you so much. You are a bunch of spoiled little brats who are use to mom and daddy giving you everything – you have never had to work a day in your lives and you are fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sign is racist!!! Its Bush’s fault. Obama is doing all the right things but the weight of Bush and the do-nothing Republicans is just too much. Stay with Obama folks, his hope and change, though it looks like “Hoax and Shame” right now, will transform this nation into something we all, including Michelle, will be proud of. (Pardon me while I go wretch!!)

What needs to be done right now is for rational Americans to take back this country from that phony and all of the leaders in the Jackass Party starting with defeating the health care fiasco, cap and tax and then the Jackass Party itself in the ‘10 election and then putting the finishing touches on the revolution by running Fauxbama out of office in ‘12.

@ Gary T. just can’t live with reality can you. The democrats took over control of the congress in ‘06 and it’s been DOWN HILL from there.

When is it going to be the Democrats responsability for anything EVER?

It’s just like the Demos complaining they can’t get anything done now because the Republicans are the party of no. The Dems have he House the Senate and The White House they should be able to do any thing they want to but the problem is within their OWN PARTY.

Tent cities existed long before Obama took office. Plus, most of those people don’t want better a life. They want to drink themselves into oblivion and get free handouts.
I guarantee you 98% of them have some kind of habit.

Billiam:

If you you really want to see some geniuses in action go to youtube and search the words “Barney Frank” AND “Fanny Mae” AND 2005. Also read this article from 1999 in which Peter Wallison of the American Enterprise Institute predicts the need for an eventual gargantuan bailout due to Fannie Mae and Freddie Macs lowering of standards for buying mortgages during the Clinton administration:

http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/30/business/fannie-mae-eases-credit-to-aid-mortgage-lending.html

In essence, the blame Bush idiots are pretty clueless.

Hey Tampa, St Pete – Sarasota here – no where but Florida can you have snowbird Homeless. Don’t you just love it. I remember a homeless person who need to make change and pulled out a wad of cash – or – the family that would exchange a leg cast each day and beg for money on the street – great way to make money – you don’t have to pay taxes on that. If you have a poor family that 8 with a different dad for each kid, that lose their home everyone and their brother are running around raising money for them – at the same time if you have an intact family of 8 who are middle class and just making it – house burn down – well, that just to d__n bad. That a liberal for you!!!!! We watch Fox 13 the two ladies there what a hoot ———— Obama babes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is going to let everyone fail with his brand of Socialism. His idea is to make everyone except the government poor. It is time to vote out all incumbents whether Republican, Democrat or Independent. They are all crimininals and crooks.

Hey, stop blaming my administration. I didn’t do it. Monica and me…I mean Hildabeast and me helped this country. Care for a used cigar? Do you like kancles? Yall be nice, it’s almost Christmas.

Leave it to those racist homeless people to tell the truth!

The people defending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2004 had a lot to do with the mess that we are now in, as well:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yga7TlsA-1A

As one might suspect, most of these fools are still in the Congress.

A few of you got it right in that Bush’s Administration seen we had a problem coming and the Dem’s
wouldn’t let it be fixed because as in our lousy political system, the Dem’s wanted it to look like the GOP screwed up. That is the biggest problem with our system is that the other party does not vote for anything that they know is good for the American people when the opposite party is in office.

jeff L says “….. It is time to vote out all incumbents whether Republican, Democrat or Independent. They are all crimininals and crooks.”

Smartest thing said today.

It seems the outrage comes from those who are SHOCKED that someone would disparage Obama. They can’t take criticism. The problem is solved now that the current sign is not visible to anyone.
Homeless people CAN’T exist when the left is in charge. Only when evil Republicans are in the White House are the homeless a problem. How dare they be visible when the left is saving the world for them!
To hell with politicians on both sides of the aisle. They aren’t worth the paper the ballots are (or used to be) printed on. People! Help your neighbors!

Technically the sign should be called Bushville, since it was Bush-era deregulations that caused the home industry collapse.

Rick:

Watch the 2004 hearings video. The members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and the House’s resident genius, Barney Frank (note sarcasm), are swearing up and down that there is nothing wrong. The problem was that if the Republicans took action, the Democrats were going to use this to hammer them during the 2006 mid-terms. Essentially they were going to use the line:
“because of the evil Republicans, x number of poor people could not buy homes. Because the Republicans were afraid of getting hit with this hammer they were not adamant about putting the breaks on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Also, read the NYT article from 1999 that I posted a link to. Peter Wallison, an ex-Reagan aide, predicted this meldown in October of that year.

The problem here is not free market capitalism. The problem is when government intervenes in the market for its own political purposes. Things get politicized and everything goes to sh*&t.

Yes this is Obama’s fault, dontya know because he personally like invented credit default swaps, and invaded Iraq, and deregulated the mortgage market.
It’s so obvious. The reason the economy tanked and unemployment went through roof was clearly because the business community knew in advance that a marxist socialist colored man was coming into power and would immediately spend all the money we’d ever have on free chicken and watermelon for all the poor people, create a private army and take everybody’s stuff and burn the constitution.
2010 2012 2010 2012 ahhhhh

“This economic collapse happened on President Bush’s watch!!”
You are right. And Bush’s BIGGEST failing was NOT calling out Frank and Dodd for allowing the Banking Industry to give out Mortgages to people who had NO way to pay for them! Another LIBERAL Boondoggle!
Bush had his chance when he said Freddie and Fanny needed MORE regulation in 2004, then didn’t pursue it.
And YES, that was an issue that REPUBLICANS tried to bring up! And THAT is why this meltdown occurred.
Fwank And mud Dobber aong with cigar Clinton, is right in the middle of it! And who hears that? NO ONE as the MSM covers up the Democrats droppings, then we, the tax payer, has to pay extra to the pooper scooper to not only pic up the poo, but the COVER UP!!!!!

Sorry Samir:

You are one of the clueless masses. This meltdown was predicted in 1999. Read the article from the NYT:

http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/30/business/fannie-mae-eases-credit-to-aid-mortgage-lending.html

Watch this video, as well:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yga7TlsA-1A

In essence you have got things backwards. The Dems gave Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae a blank check to buy up mortgages made by banks, after the Clinton administration lowered standards for buying such mortgages in 1999.

Educate yourself. Get the facts and go beyond what the U.S. Pravda media feeds you.

Actually, if the sign were accurate it would read Greenspanville or Rubinville or Clintonville.
Certainly Obama was just the sucker that signed up to clean up the mess. But that won’t stop the haters from lying over and over trying to place the blame on our President.

These Obama zombies will be blaming Bush for any and all problems from now to eternity.
They really are looking like idiots.

As long as the Dems can blame anyone else will depend on how long the massed are willing to be duped. After one year of this clown’s antics and his leaders in Congress I am more certain than ever that this is the plan – to make the masses suffer until they beg for the Government’s assistance. This is the oldest tactic in their play book but this time it’s being played on a grand scale. Let the people get hurt and let them suffer – then and only then will they fall on their knees and pledge allegiance to their masters.

Don’t look for this depression to change anytime soon – this is the way they want it.

The more desperate peolpe are the more they will take desperate actions to survive that is the premiase of the Democrat’s domestic policy; They use the basic instincts of people against them – play them like a fish on a hook – that’s what is happening before our eyes.

And, you know, the guy who paid for the sign can spend his money any way he damned well wants to. This is still the United States of America, at least for now. Obama intends to change a whole bunch of things up, like telling people what they can earn, and maybe what they can spend their money on. He is a Marxist and he wants his utopia. His utopia is your prison.

Gary T.,
Okay, you’ve proven you’re an idiot, now let’s get the facts straight. First, I did not vote for Bush in either election in which he ran for president, but the economic disaster cannot be laid at his feet. It should be laid at the feet of both parties and especially at the feet of those in charge of Congress when it happened. Both parties participated in the mess and have spent money like drunken sailors. You can especially look at people like Senator Chris Dodd, Senator Barney Frank, and the likes of them who made the biggest mess. Just because you hate Bush and love Obama, which is obvious just by your simple comment, doesn’t mean you can blame everything on him. You probably also blame him for 9-11, even though what allowed it was years in the making and can’t be laid at one person’s feet. It’s time we hold ALL politicians accountable and not just blame the person in the presidency. Get off your politically biased horse and join the rest of us who want a real change in Washington. Throw the whole bunch of bums out and start with people who are willing to serve under term limits and then go home, not stay and build a long-term career out of it.

Some of you lame brains still think a bunch of low life or under qualified borrowers brought the worlds biggest economy down.

“Do you even know the role Barney Frank, Chris Dodds and Obama played in the mortgage crisis. Check in to it; you might learn where the train went off the track. Bush confronted Barney regarding the high risk loans Fannie Mae was making (Barney provided the federal oversight for Fannie if you didn’t know). Barney replied to Bush in Sept. 2008 that Fannie was doing great no problem?”

WE could pay off every subprime mtg made with the 2 stimulus billS. So stop the stupidity of blaming some poor people from trying to get a piece of the american dream by owning their own home. Its the fact that the “smartest guys in the world” the Goldman Sachs type guys on wall street bet/leveraged a 100,000.00 dollar mtg to securitize millions in promises. That is the reason for the economic collapse.

Hope + Change = Horse Crap!

The best idea. Reelect no one 2010.

Prologue:
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and the Dems. made the banks give loans and mortgages to those who couldn’t afford them but if they didn’t, they were called racists.
1.) Things were okay under President Bush.
2.) Then, the Dems. took over in 2006
3.) Things started going to hell.
4.) George Soros did some behind the scenes manipulation of the financial markets just in time for the election so as to get fellow socialist Obama get elected.
5.) Obama is incompetent and appoints incompetent people to help with the financial mess.
Epilogue
6.) We are still in a financial mess.

Democrats plan nearly $2 trillion debt limit hike:

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091211/D9CHCOIG0.html

This is BEFORE Healthcare, Cap and Tax (Trade), and God knows what else the Democraps are planing on foisting on the people. All the while the tax base is shrinking, we have 17% + unemployment nationwide, and Obama is still playing failed Keynesian/Socialistic economics. We are all headed to Obamaville indeed.

Hoovervilles were what they were called in the last Great Depression…Obamaville is appropriate. Unfortunately, we will all be living there soon…if we arent in the FEMA camps or dead.

Yep, its all Bush’s fault. We should put someone else in charge. Someone liberal, and clever… and give them majorities of both houses in Congress so Bush’s cronies can’t stop them. Say cut the Republicans to 40 in the Senate to avoid a filibuster.

Oh, we already did that? They took congress 2 years ago and the presidency almost a year ago? Well how much better off are we since then? More jobs, lower unemployment, less federal debt? What have the Dems done?

Well.. they’ve wasted over a trillion dollars on their wish-list and handouts to political friends… and blamed Bush for all their problems. Unemployment is worse, fewer jobs every month, more debt on the nation as we spend more every month; and plans to raise costs on every business ASAP.

Weird that after 9 months of making things worse people are starting to blame them isn’t it liberals? I mean I figured they could pass the buck and blame Bush forver with Truman’s glowing leaderhsuip statemwents rehashed.

The Buck stops.. somewhere else; its not my fault, I inherited this mess a year ago and still haven’t fixed it, it’s Bush’s fault. That sort of glowing leadership and responsibility still brings a tear to my eye.

Gary T,

Let me know when Obama is in charge. I thought that he had been in power for a year.

Your party also controls the House and Senate.

Get on your knees, close your eyes, rock back and forth, and cry “it’s all Bush’s fault. It’s all Bush’s fault”.

Get a grip.

Perhaps the greatest irony in it all is that these people are probably the very same ones that voted for Obama hope and change? If one assumes the democrats have no culpability whatsoever for the economic failure, then at least it can be said that their bumbling community organizer is not the solution to the problem and we need a different president. If you think it’s bad now, wait till he runs out of other people’s money! An item in the news says the average federal worker is making 71,000 per year; thirty some thousand more than the private sector workers on average. Why not, someone has to serve as a socialist upper-class tier and they will all need dachas!

Wrongo… This is Obama’s recession… he screamed we had to pass his stimulus bill… to keep unemployment under 8%.. now its at 10%, he hasn’t done anything to help those who are losing their houses.. so much for his crap about “Mainstreet, not Wallstreet”. All he managed to do is spend us into oblivion… we will NEVER repay this debt… The Dems just raised the debt ceiling by 2 Trillion $. We are headed for one of two things or both… massive inflation and/or huge tax increases.

California is bankrupt, NY right behind… portending what awaits the wholde country… keep on spending you fools.

You must be kidding about voting out any Republican in Congress right now – the liberals are HAPPY —– you don’t get it —– they like it —- they want to destroy this country —- they have been taught that this is an evil country —– and it needs to be detroyed —- what they don’t get or they or to stupid to get or they are on the receiving end of the goodies —- is that when they destroy this country they will destroy their standard of living —————- they are stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kate:

You have a good point. The individual in the White House at the moment stated on several occasions that his goal is to “fundamentally change” this country. The only problem is that all of the independents that are moving away from him now were not listening to his words. They may have had the Chris Matthews tingle up their legs. Look at what Obama has surrounded himself with. The man is a clueless socialist.

~~~!!BUSH+OBAMA=NWO~~~!!
Better get that through yer heads people. There is no diff between the two. Stop saying it is ones fault. The state we are in now is WAY bigger than one mans stupidity or anothers arrogance. The whole govt has gone rouge and is not to be trusted at all anymore. Dig??

Before the Democrats took over the House and Senate consumer confidence stood at a record high. Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon. The Unemployment rate was 4.5%. The Dow hit a record high of 14,000. Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations over seas. Americans called for change in 2006 and put the Democrats in charge of the House and Senate. Now the unemployment rate is over 10 percent, consumer confidence is low, gas prices are high. We have lost over 1/2 the value of our homes. You leftwing looneys have to quit blaming Bush, things were fine until you took over.

@Gary T.: Bush had an unemployment rate of approx. 5% during his 8 years, obama and his cronies in the democrat-led congress promised us that it wouldn’t top 8% if we enacted the stimulus. Bush’s deficit was around 480 Billion in 8 years. obama tripled that in less than 1 year. Where hole has your head been in with your Bush-derangement syndrome claims?

f8te:

I would have to say that I agree with you. Our government is rife with corruption and is a disgrace. I lived and worked in Brazil in the 80s and was amazed at how corrupt that country’s government was at that time. It is sad to say that the disease that I saw there is here and now.

I think it would be safe to say that those that bought the whole Hope and Change smoke blown up their arses thing are pretty pathetic.

Here is an article about some hopeful and tolerant libs in action:

http://enews.earthlink.net/article/top?guid=20091212/b6a0b34d-3ab2-4eba-a73c-ab424014d490

The whole mess we’re in is George’s fault, so say the Dems. That’s probably true — things would be a lot different today if it hadn’t been for all those things fought for by George Washington and his freedom-loving cronies. We should all be glad we’re finally moving back toward monarchy.

As some here have pointed out, obama inherited the recession. But he didn’t inherit it from Bush. He inherited the recession from the Democrat-run US Congress. Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats took over the US Senate in January, 2007. Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats took over the US House in January, 2007. It was then that the economy started going down hill. Check the record, folks. Up until 2007, we had a robust economy. Interest rates were low. Unemployment was under 5 %. People were optimistic about their financial futures. The country was humming along. After Reid and Pelosi took over in 2007, the stock market started going into the tank, housing began to decline and consumer sentiment went from high to low. Finally, after nearly two years of a Democrat controlled Congress, we had a housing bust and a financial meltdown in Summer 2008 — coincidentally just before the November election.

So did obama inherit the recession? Yes he did. He inherited it from his Democrat Congress. And did he promise to fix it? Yes, he did that also. Has he fixed it? No, but he has done a lot of complaining about how he inherited it. If he didn’t want the presidency, he shouldn’t have campaigned for it. If he didn’t think that he could handle the job, he shouldn’t have promised all of us that he could handle it. obama needs to man up and start acting like a leader instead of excusing his failures to lead by blaming others.

The sign on this homeless camp is right on the mark. obama is in charge now. He needs to start solving the nation’s problems instead of wasting taxpayer money on bogus stimulus schemes. He can’t spend his way out of this recession with borrowed money. Cut taxes, Mr. President. Let working people keep more of the money they earn. Then you’ll see how quickly Americans lift the country out of this recession.

Another thing that the intellectually slothful “blame everything on Bush” crowd can do is read about the Glass Steagall Act to learn about what it was, why it was instituted, and whose administration repealed it, and what impact all of this has been on the current economic crises. You can either do things like this or rely on the Pablum Press to inform you.

I need to practice my excuses.

a) “It’s Bush’s fault.”

b) “I just work here.”

c) “I’m just the mop-man.”

d) “The racists did it.”

No wonder they’re homeless. They are a bunch of idiots.

For those that are interested, Bill Clinton signed the law that repealed Glass Steagall in 1999. Here is what the impact of the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act was:

Financial events following the repeal

The repeal enabled commercial lenders such as Citigroup, which was in 1999 the largest U.S. bank by assets, to underwrite and trade instruments such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations and establish so-called structured investment vehicles, or SIVs, that bought those securities.[15] Elizabeth Warren,[16] co-author of All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan (Free Press, 2005) (ISBN 0-7432-6987-X) and one of the five outside experts who constitute the Congressional Oversight Panel of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, has said that the repeal of this act contributed to the Global financial crisis of 2008–2009,[17] [18] although some believe that the increased flexibility allowed by the repeal of Glass–Steagall mitigated or prevented the failure of some American banks.[19

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PARAGRAPH:

The year before the repeal, sub-prime loans were just five percent of all mortgage lending.[citation needed] By the time the credit crisis peaked in 2008, they were approaching 30 percent.

As f8te expressed, there is plenty of blame to throw around here. For all you black and white simpletons out there. Do some research.

What you liberal/socialists are forgetting is that the Dumbocrat party is in charge of both the House and Senate AND WERE WHEN BUSH WAS PRESIDENT!!! Bush spent way too much of our money too. Bush was/is not conservative. Obama can change ANYTHING he wants since the Dumbocrat party have a veto proof majority. At worst, Bush and the Dumbocrats in Congress are to blame for the mess prior to big O’s coronation. The Dumbocrat party and Obama are to blame for the mess since last January.

As I told my son, ” It took a Jimmy Carter for us to get a Ronald Reagan”. I can only hope history repeats it’s self in 2012.

The sign is appropriate. Obama and his cronies want us all to end up like this. Read/watch “1984″ – that is the goal of all radical liberals … to destroy the middle class, literally. They are off to a great start.

Point is that the responsibility of this SITUATION rests on the shoulders of Obama and his Social Stimulus System. Those who are lashing out at the man who made the sign, how do YOU know if he has or has not taken food or fuel to these people? YOU DONT!

Who ever says that this ugly situation is Bush’s fault has identified as a morbidly stupid supporter of communists. The current situation is due to Soetoro or what ever his real name is – and his communist handlers. Don’t know who’s behind it all? Did you know that Georg Soros’ real name is “schwartz”?

Hey Gary T. It must be nice to be one of the every growing ranks of the Federal Government. The average salary for a federal employee is now 71K way above the average of the working men and women in the private sector. Oh that’s right Gary T. BO the Marxist doesn’t give a damn about those people who actual work and pay his salary and those of his socialist party. I guess Hopelessness and Shame is the real Obama motto!!

They are stopping the logging industry again in the northwest..I read.
Remember the spotted owl and the snail darter? They had rescinded under bush, but now that the whackos are in full power, the EPA has put another stop on it! The logging industry always replants trees…but the EPA globalists don’t care…to them animals and plants mean more to these idiots! Just like them not letting us DRILL HERE…or build anymore power plants. Soon the lights will be on a rotating basis with blackouts. But they want us using candles anyway, in the dark and cold!
But it is supposed to be warming..can’t say that..or I will be called a racist by ole Harry or Nanzi.

We’re sure to see many more of these popping up all over the country as the Obamanomics settles in and more folks lose their jobs. Great how all that global warming is helping them out on these winter nights though, isn’t it?

revolt today or end up in a camp near you

Obama bin Biden are my heroes! For those who voted for these great patriots, I HOPE you like your CHANGE (that’s all that’s left after they tax you for all you’re worth).

17.2% total unemployment
African Americans are unemployed twice the number of non-African Americans.
How’s that hope and change working out for ya?

Very interesting reading concerning a global economic problem. Those in charge of our country have us all so confused, we blame it on everything except UFO’s. History will show us the largest transfer of wealth ever extracted from the working class worldwide caused the current ills we all are experiencing.
Who’s to blame – all of us to some extent.
What was the cause – “Greed”
When did it happen – slowly over the last 16 years when financial instruments and accounting rules were modified to provide unrestricted manipulation of equities in the global market.
Where do we go now – I wish I had an answer, the corruption in our legislative and governing agencies have only left a hollow hope of recovery. Unless our government begins to represent and protect those they represent instead of special interests and their own short vision pocket books, history has shown we are a people without a future.

Give credit where credit is due. obamaville is correct——————————————-
Maybe its time Senators start listening to how their constitutents feel about things instead of joe obiden, obama, reid or pelosi. It is time to take the government back to the people instead a bunch of FAT CAT POLITICANS padding their own pockets and criticizing and running off leaders in business that know how to run a company rather then a bunch of FAT CAT GOVERNMENT ACORN DOLES that caused 90% of the ACORN-obama, dodd,schummmmer, reid, pelosi ddod, frank housing banking scandal that raped the taxpayers that never managed a thing in their life and lived off the government all their life..

ACORN and SEIU thugs get millions from Obama, but these poor folks get squat from Obama.

What happened to “Hope and Change”?

Vladimir Lenin said the USA could be conquered by 1,000 people without firing a single bullet: take control of their media and you conquer the USA – Disney owns ABC,
Time-warner owns CNN,
GE and the French socialist company Vivendi own NBC
CBS Corp (formerly Viacom, more Hollywood communists)
Tribune Corp owns most major Newspapers
Time, Inc. owns 255 of the most popular magazines
If you want to take back the USA destroy these companies (boycott their products, charge the Board members of these companies with violating the 1st Amendment (they abridge freedom of speech – omit and falsify)) – do whatever it takes to break the communist control of these companies – hold the Board of Directors accountable – put them in jail – put them out of commission and the USA has a chance to comeback. STOP THEM! They are violating us, our children, and our grandchildren for generations to come!

There is no tent city. The economy is great. Those emails that showed scientist and Gore have been perpetrating a great hoax on society for big money really don’t exist. Acorn is a good organization which was once headed by our wonderful President. All the troops have been pulled out the war zones that dastardly Bush started (not the terrorist, Bush started it). We don’t steal tax payer money in the government, we are a completely transparent administration. I told you I would support Israel, see how nice I have been to them? I don’t like dictators like Chavez and Castro. I am using all the experience that I had before being elected President to running the country. My birth certificate is somewhere and I know Judas Emanuel will find it and show it to you. I will set an example for these people and reduce my fleet of limo’s by 10 or 15 when out making my wonderful speeches to the country. I love me and you school children should love me too. Abe Lincoln was a democrat. If you need to know how wonderful I am, just ask me and I will tell you. Merry Christmas…wait I can’t say that, might po my muslim friends.

BO

Obamistan

I am agog and aghast that such places still exist ! The only explanation must be that George Bush used to be president (we can’t blame our current president, because he would never tolerate the deplorable conditions these poor people are living under).

Mark T, your use of the double negative explaines to me why you don’t get it! Stay in school, get a job, any job, and don’t have kids before your married, usually does the trick!

Obamavilles will start springing up more often AND in greater numbers! Great work Dems!! Idiotsticks!!

Obama is in bed with wall st. acorn, the banks. george soros, saudi arabia, iran, and a few hundred others i won’t mention.
in a year or 2 obama will have his own tiger woods breakup, cause he ain’t gonna be giving his woody to michelle for much longer.

Don’t know how many of you shouters were around back in the 70’s, but we elected another inexperienced guy named Carter I think it was from outside Washington. He brought in his crack brigade of hometown cronies to fix things up and they quickly found themselves in over their heads. Double digit unemployment, gas lines, prices of everything thru the roof. US dollar plummeted, we got kicked around by Iran & Russia (AKO Soviet Union). Obie is Jimmeh’s second term– he’s making all the same moves, same mistakes, same results. Price of everything is going up, so buy your survival gear now! Cotton’s going to get expensive again, so get ready to break out the polyester! It’s going to be a long 2010, 2011 and 2012 plus a month, AND THEN you have to wait another year for any new president’s policies really to take effect. Learn survival skills… you will need them!

ever notice how they never mention scientists names on this global warming.

always the word consensus and a foreign science commission somewhere.

not good enough

I know people have it in for Bush but i wasnt out of work with him. Face it people, Obama has no idea what he is doing. His whole plan is to bankrupt this country and its working. In 2012 the king will have destroyed all that has been done in 236 years. Thanks obama, you have destroyed and economy,lifes, businesses, capitalism, and more untold things. He might be black but that doesnt make hime great. You need to look past color next time you vote. He is a closet muslim and we all know it. The job of a muslim terrorist just like 911 is to act like us, but in the background destroy us. I pray for our country and hope god will help us thru this reign of power.

YOU REVERSE RACISTS BEATING ON THE SIGN MAKER MAKE ME PUKE.

WHAT IS UP WITH YOU LIARS? HE SHOULD HAVE DONATED THE SIGN COST TO THE HOMELESS YOU WEIRDOS WHINE. WHAT ABOUT THE POOR HOMELESS WHILE YOUR MAN JETS AROUND THE WORLD, WHAT ABOUT THEM? HOMELESS AND JOBLESS AND HE ONLY TALKS POWER GRAB HEALTHCARE. 11 MONTHS OBAMA HAS SPENT TRILLIONS AND NOTHING FOR THE 25 MILLION JOBLESS AND HOMELESS, YOUR BEGINNER FACIST IS DISGUSTING.

YOUR IGNORANT BEGINNER IS TURNING THIS GREAT NATIONN INTO A TENT CITY AND YOU WHINE THAT WE ARE BEING MEAN TO YOUR GUY. HOW ABOUT THE LYING CLIMATE CHANGERS, JUST LIKE YOU, BEAT UP THE HACKERS THAT FOUND THE TRUTH, NOT CARE THAT THE LEFTWINGNUTS HAVE STOLEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WITH THEIR FAKE CLIMATE CHANGE.

THE UNDERCOVER PEOPLE WHO FOUND THAT FELON ACORN IS STEALING OUR TAX DOLLARS AND YOU WANT THE WHISTLEBLOWERS IN JAIL. YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR IDIOTIC AMERICA KILLING IDEAS ARE OVER. YOU HAVE HAD IT YOUR WAY, YOU LEFTWINGNUTS GOT EVERYTHING YOU ASKED FOR AND WE HAVE UNEMPLOYMENT UP FROM 7.2 TO 10.2 IN 11 MONTHS UNDER YOU FACIST BEGINNER.

NOPE YOU GUYS ARE GONE BECAUSE YOU ELECTED A FACIST WHO IS DISMANTLING THIS NATION……………..YEAH THE MEAN EVIL SIGN MAKER SHOULD BE THE BAD GUY AND NOT THE IGNORANT TELEPROMPTER MAN WHO IS CAUSING THIS HOMELESSNESS AND UNEMPLOYMENT. DON’T WORRY THE MONEY YOUR GUY GAVE THE BANKS MADE THEM STRONG.

YOU GUYS TAUGHT US HOW TO TREAT A COMMANDER IN CHIEF FOR 8 YEARS, YOU WHINERS BETTER STRAP IN!

MSM liberalism is a cancer on our society. The MSM hammered every day that Bush was bad and Obama was wonderful and smart. People took that at face value without every questioning or doing their own research. Had the MSM done their job this community organizer fraud would never have been elected.

Like most communities in America today, Obamaville’s Tent City also has a Home Owners Association that is controlled by power hungry socialist/liberals. Of course American flags and all religious symbols have been banned.

…As if “Hooverville” gained currency because everybody using had analyzed the economy. It’s funny that libs find something offensive and it disappears, if this had offended cons, and gone missing, there’d be a shrill spastic trembling on the left about how our rights to express ourselves are being shredded right before our very eyes!!!

Your petty braying doesn’t impress me: “No! It shoud be Bushville!! No!! You’ve got it all wrong!!” Saul Alinsky made a deal with the devil, now the same public ridicule that he recommended and we get whineyness.

We the people don’t realize, this guy wants this country to fail. Then He will be able to “rebuild” it in his own image. The only escape from rabid capitalism is not the current complaint of socialism. Even Communism fails to adequately describe the direction of the administration. Fascism is a word that is closest to the ultimate goal of the Obama Regime.

The smell of HOPE & CHANGE!!!!! I wonder if he will think about his new city while enjoying a caviar wedge in Copenhagen, yah. His view of reversal of fortunes. Smile big for the Nobel Peace Prize of hypocrisy. Did anyone pan the audience and notice Will and Jada Pinkett Smith in attendance? You know how he just loves Hollywood. Yes, Hollywood, the place where all things deboutchery occur. How they must look at us little people with such disdain. Boycott the movies, the music industry and the rag mags. If they don’t have the money, maybe, just maybe, they will feel the punch that most Americans do. Perhaps they won’t be able to shove propaganda down our throats. Yet then again, the very rich can afford to give offense where ever they go.

Obama is trying to act like a rock star instead of a president

So right KW, but lets not forget the leaders of congress (it was a Democrat congress, telling Bush and McCain there was nothing wrong and Maxine Walters calling McCain a spoiled racists cracker when he tried to fix Fannie and Freddie. Guess your only a racists if your white and not liberal.

This is Obamaville, lets look at the facts.

The banks were collapsing, last year. Give them a lot of money, they did not want, and instanally they are fine and paying back the money.

My 6 year old understands the problem.

The fact was the speeches were causing Runs on the banks. Chuck Schumer cause Indy bank to fail. There was 16 Billing taken from Wachovia in one day. THe people lost confidence in the banks from all the politicians speeches. No bank, no matter how healthy, can withstand a run.

They had to give confidence back to the banks so the bailout was devised. This go the public confidence.

Next the Politicians said how bad it was, and people believed them. This caused sales to dive. Businesses cut to match the drop in sales.

People should start recognizing, it is our politicians that are causing the problem to get more power.

The question is,
Are you going to let them?

Steve C is correct. Blobama’s goal is not a planned economy but planned destruction.

Where is Jimmy Carter when you need a few house built?

The ignorance permeating this blog is alarming. I know we lack in education in this country, but this is mind boggling. The U.S. has been in trouble long before Obama, and the road to recovery will not be overnight regardless of who’s office. Eight years of the Bush clan hit-n-run alone will take years to rectify. The list of people to blame is long, and let’s not forget that no one uttered a peep as they were helping themselves to jumbo loans on $40,000/yr. salary. A 3rd grade math student could tell you that doesn’t add up.

Very Appropriate.

This is the dems base of support: blacks, poverty, illegal aliens. If these people were expelled from this country, there would be no more democrat party or socialist thugs.

Hey, Geo, good to see that White Supremacy is still alive and well.

“and let’s not forget that no one uttered a peep as they were helping themselves to jumbo loans on $40,000/yr. salary.”

——————–
huh? I did and I’m sure a lot of the people that are griping here today did. You just chose not to listen.

This is where it started.

December 8, 1993

NAFTA signed into law
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is signed into law by President Bill Clinton. Clinton said he hoped the agreement would encourage other nations to work toward a broader world-trade pact.

NAFTA, a trade pact between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, eliminated virtually all tariffs and trade restrictions between the three nations. The passage of NAFTA was one of Clinton’s first major victories as the first Democratic president in 12 years–though the movement for free trade in North America had begun as a Republican initiative.

During its planning stages, NAFTA was heavily criticized by Reform Party presidential candidate Ross Perot, who argued that if NAFTA was passed, Americans would hear a “giant sucking sound” of American companies fleeing the United States for Mexico, where employees would work for less pay and without benefits. The pact, which took effect on January 1, 1994, created the world’s largest free-trade zone

Both parties are the same! They ‘tag team’ us! VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!! ANY 3RD PARTY!!!!!!

Notice that Democrats are always the “Defenders of Indecency”? They consistently support all that is bad (including our enemies) and they always want to destroy all that is good and decent. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

The sign need to go back up along with thousands and thousands of others. Obummer’s love for the banks and special interests are creating Obummerville’s and there will be many more to come as the country devolves into a Mexico. OBAMA OUT NOW before the people rise up.

Let’s take away the primo health care plans and other perks of ALL government employees and give it to those who have spent their way into these tents. After all its Bushes’ fault they were allowed to spend more than they would ever earn. Besides, I understand that’s Obama’s next big giveaway of our tax dollars…. to state and local governments…. so those civil servants should have plenty of money to spend on new homes and new cars and new flat screen TV’s and Xboxes in every room. So, let’s let THEM be the ones to take these poor people in and feed them and entertain them. Geez, all they have to do is give up their annual trip to Disneyworld and they could coddle several of these poor homeless people. They deserve it, don’t they !

“and let’s not forget that no one uttered a peep as they were helping themselves to jumbo loans on $40,000/yr. salary.”

I was referring to the folks taking out the loans. And if they were uttering anything it was “thanks, can I have some more?” My point is that if the blame game is going to be played, the finger points to more than just the politicians. They are indeed the enablers, I’m not disputing that, but there are many facets to our current situation, including a highly corrupt Wall Street and a nation built on the corporate machine.

Hey Gary, How much longer can the left keep blaming bush. Wait… Maybe we can spend another Trillion and appoint an Obamatown Czar. The mancherion canidet shows no fiscal responcibility and i’m sure if these people where in chicago at least the would get some of that “Obama Money”.

Omaba is a dithering, ineffective neophyte. He has no clue what he is doing. A black face and a baritone voice does not necessarily create a good leader.

Excuse me lib-tards but this economy became Obama’s when he chose to sign a feel good political stimulas bill rather than a real economic stimulas bill ! In addition, its easy to blame GWB but most of you libtards are stupid anyway living for the moment and not looking back at history when on 9-11 1 TRILLION was instantly vaporized from our economy. President Bush acted immediately preventing an economic disaster. Democrats had years to prepare for the eventual recession that would follow as a natural consequence of all these actions. Kick the banks then ask them to help your economic recovery,..lol,..welcome to reality liberals its much more difficult than reality tv, xbox, and gay porn !

How’s that “hoax and change” working for you-all?

How long will dorks blame Bush, this is Obama’s an no one else. Obama is the cause, the reason and will continue to be so. Bush is gone, people. Wake and smell the Chicago stupidity in D.C.

“These people need & deserve help.
But the sign should read Bushville!”

Gary T. December 12th, 2009 – 12:41 pm

Gary use yur head son.

Its December 2009, Bush has been out of office for close to a year now.

If the read “Bushville” who woulda paid attention? No one

Would you have heard about it? Nope

So what good woulda been for helping the homeless?

Fact:

Bush Unemployment…..4.4%
Bush Deficit……….$454 billion
Bush had 53 consectutive months of job creation

Barry Soetoro………10.2% unemployment, 2.4 million jobs lost since taking office in just 9 months
Barry Soetoro………$1.4 Trillion deficit….more than all presidents before him combined in just 8 months
Barry Soetoro………had 11 months of ’saved or created’ economic calamity

In October and November, the Treasury Department reported it spent $291.4 billion more than it took in.

Hope and change, hope and socialism, change and socialism, hope and socialism, socialism and poverty. Welcome to Obummerville.

Bush created 53 consecutive months of job growth which ended when Congress was taken over by the DEMarxists.

I’d like to see a Palin / Paul ticket. Paul to make sure our constitution isn’t trashed and Palin to keep him honest enough to accomplish it. It will take a huge anti news media revolt but
a third party would be great change for the better ! A whole lot of new third party faces in both houses would still be required to get anything done. I think if you could get people’s heads out of their Xboxes long enough to listen, a third party might have a chance. I must say though, there are a lot of Rush fans out there that believe the Republican party can do no wrong and like Rush won’t even listen to a third party option. So, do we split the vote and let the left keep electing Obamanations, or do we keep trying for one honest Repubican who won’t bow down to special interests and the New World Order????? Time to make up our minds NOW and get to work on it, TOGETHER!

Posted by Pete Seeger above. AWSOME
This land is your obamaland,
this land is my obamaland,
from bankrupt california,
to the wall street wasteland,
this land was stole from you and me.

You vote third party then you might as well get use to having a one party system or you might as well cut out the middle man and vote for the Dem. The Dems are HAPPY they are not going to vote out their people. Only the conservatives have the knack for shooting themselves in the foot by spliting the vote. Why don’t we conservatives ban together – because then we would definitely have the majority – vote the candidate that we like in the primary – and back the candidate that wins in that primary. Hello!!!!!!!! You who voted third party is one of the reasons WHY we have what we have. Why can you not realize that! – If Ron Paul really loved this country so much why is he so willing to split the vote?

Remember Democrats! Your Obamamesiah was supposed to fix the economy with “Hope and Change”. One year later, unemployment has gone up 3% and the national defict has quadrupled. The war in Afghanistan has expanded and millions are out of work. How is that Muslim president working out for you?

Obamaville, it could be the capital of Mugabeland.

Look to Zimbabwe folks, that’s Americas future under Obama!

Bush derrangement syndrome. Ya, increasing our debt ceiling 2 trillion, spending our childrens future, a president who spent more in a year than all previous presidents combined (including President Bush), to the likes of ACORN and the NEA, and infrastructure projects that DO NOT GENERATE anything,is President Bush fault.

Liberals ARE CLUELESS! I hope we take congress back rescend the Obama fiasco, and then tax the hell out of the idiots that voted for him. TAX Hollywood, TAX AARP, TAX Unions, TAX San Francisco, Boulder, Austin, New York, and Illinois.

Liberals just don’t see the 10 ton donkey in the room.

Danile is right! Take back the Congress in 2010…that’s a start. But we all need to start hammering our Representatives in both the House and Senate. Once they are returned to power, the job would only be half done. They have to agree that once in office, the next step is to REPEAL any rotten legislation imposed by this ignorant and abusive Senate and House. That would include TARP (if anything is left), healthcare, cap & tax, etc.

Say it early and often…REPEAL!

Wait a minute, wasn’t the election of Obama supposed to make all our troubles go away as far as paying for gas and our mortgages?
That what Peggy Joseph told us; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36×8rTb3jI

Dennis you are right! We first need to take back the Congress in 2010 and we are not going to do that by splitting the vote – we have to be smarter then that. Once we get our guys in then we need to keep them honest or out they go until we get it right. I don’t know how easy it going to be to repeal any of these measures that they have voted in – once the money is gone it is gone. I was watching a show today that said that it is very hard if not impossible to curtail any give away program – though this health care one could be so bad that people will beg to have it repealed. I also think we need to pay attentions to what is not major headlines – today more banks were closed and taken over by the FDIC insurance fund. Or that Van Jones is having “fisting” taught in the schools!!!!!!! Look it up you will see that this is true – they even have kits – complete with rubber gloves. There is a lot going on here – this whole group has absolutely no morals or ethics whatsoever. They intend to take this country down – they have no love for it.

These people look like they need some help but you know who needs help more? Hilary CLinton. These people aren’t in a world of hurt like she is. I mean, the woman owed her pollster 6 million dollars. Poor thing, my heart just breaks for her. Thats why I am 100% in support of Obama taking 6 million out of the Stimulus money, money your grandkids and mine will pay back so he could pay off her campaign debt. Yep Hope and change, or wasit hoax and chains? I’m just saying..

can’t eat hope and change.

higher taxes and currency devaluation aren’t viable strategies unless your goal is the permanent destruction of an economy under the tutelage of george soros.

When are all of YOU PEOPLE going to start screaming at your elected representatives to IMPEACH the marxists? HMMMM?

It is true and it is awesome. I love that sign and it fit perfect for the conditions they are in. Who is the idiot saying that they could have donated that money instead of making the sign. Conservatives donate ten fold over that of lib pieces of #@$@, and whomever had the sign made will probably be donating to them as well. Great is what I say about the sign. We need more honesty like that in the US. If everyone was that honest we would not be in these conditions, and run by a bunch of communists!!

I think that first post was put up by Breitbart just to get us all riled up… What do you think ?
I have question for all you so called or self appointed conservatives out there.
But first, just being pro-life does NOT make you a conservative. In fact, wanting government to control people “even if it’s trying to keep them from killing babies” is wrong ! If you are pro government control, you are a leftist! Look , a law against abortion will NOT stop abortions, it will just make them more expensive, just like drugs on the street. What will “slow” women from getting abortions is making it extremely socially unacceptable again. Imagine, if you take out the government control then you can refuse these people jobs , services or anything you like. And that’s really what it boils down to is being able to say and do what you want to do. Let them all move to San Francisco and do each other to death.. What really matters is that you get to say “NOT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD YOU DON’T”. That’s Freedom ! It’s not perfect. Perfect is what Elitists think they can achieve by controlling the masses. At this point, protecting our constitutional right should be top priority for conservatives.

Enough already! Maybe the economic downturn didn’t start under Obama, but he is sure finishing up the job! All he has done since he has been in office is to make a bad economy worse by adding billions to the national debt and continuing to advocate for his expensive agenda items, i.e., healthcare “reform,” cap and trade, etc. I’m no Harvard grad, but it seems to me that if you are in a tight financial situation, the last thing you should be doing is SPENDING more than you are MAKING. We’ve all been there – ya just have to bite the bullet and rein in the spending.

One termer..Oh well,-Jimma Cotter can give him a job swinging a hammer. The problem is, Barry will have to stop each swing and appologize to the nail.

It’s not the only sign!

NEW OBAMA POSTER “TWAPPED” ACROSS U.S.
Mystery meaning allegedly solved as public adopts term as both a noun and a verb

LOS ANGELES (PIO) — This past week, all across America — from Marietta, Georgia to Davenport, Iowa to Beverly Hills, California — sightings of the newest poster featuring President Barack Obama have been made. Simultaneously, many have become convinced that the poster’s inscrutable label, TWAP, stands for The Worst American President.
In what may well be an ominous sign for President Obama, the posters have appeared on many unleased stores, highlighting the devastating effect the recession has had on commercial real estate and small businesses across the country, the sector which most often leads the way out of bad economic times.
Many small business owners report feeling “twapped” by the president and such policy directives as The Recovery Act and health care reform. In return they have “twapped” store front windows and other locales with a poster depicting the president as a medieval court jester, presumably to emphasize the less than serious approach they feel he has adopted to fix an ailing economy.
“Until I get a tax cut and some certainty about the direction this economy’s taking, I’m going to be twapping every window from Marietta to Cartersville,” said hobby shop owner Lester Banks of Kennesaw, GA.
Other poster hangers cited last week’s speech about Afghanistan, calling it the most tepid call to arms in American history and say it reinforced their feeling that Obama has rightly earned the new sobriquet.
“What’re they going to run him on next time?” asked Michael Davis of Davenport, “Obama in 2012. He killed two pirates?”
The poster is said to be the work of an unknown Los Angeles artist who made it available to a satirical anti-Obama website for easy access to those in agreement with its sentiments and wishing to post it in their own hometowns.
Meanwhile, reaction from the White House has been muted in the belief that calling attention to the poster would only increase its popularity. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wouldn’t even acknowledge the poster’s existence and reportedly averted his eyes when a newsman showed him a copy and asked him if the president had seen it.
Gibbs may not be able to hold out for long, however. Fed-Ex Kinkos is being kept quite busy printing the posters and the public is busy sending photographic proof of their sightings to blogs and the aforementioned website.

You know what really burns the NeoSocialist, NeoLiberals, and/or NeoDemocrats up………..?

That George W. Bush…who they thought was an Imbecile………

beat their progressive poster boys……..

Not once………but twice.

THAT’S WHY IT’LL FOREVER BE BUSH’S FAULT.

How is that “Hope and Change” working for you out there? This is the first of many tent communes to come – isn’t this what Obama’s Hippie followers want??????!!!

Unemployment never got above 6.3% Under Bush! Things didn’t start getting bad until the Democrats took over Congress three years ago! Blame Bush all you want but this is not his fault. Maybe people should look into ACORN’s involvement in essentially forcing banks into making loans for people who could never pay thm back. Look up the Community Reinvestment Act enacted by Carter and made stronger by Clinton, and the impact of Barney Frank hiding the facts of what was really going on while he was sleeping with some guy from Freddies Fanny! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

While the Democrats continue to throw rocks at the Bush folks, we seem to forget that the Democratic controlled White House, Senate, and House have authorized enough tax money to give every, repeat every, man woman and child and some dogs and cats a million dollars each. What the sign represents is the fact that of all this money none seemed to “trickle down” to those in the tents in Colorado Spring.

I am a local here in Colorado Springs. I am used to seeing the occasional Bum tent in this area. I saw the “Obamaville” last weekend. It caught me by surprise. This is definitely not the average “Transient camp”. The first thing out of my mouth was, “It’s a Hoverville”. For many years I had been warning anyone who would listen that this collapse was coming. Most were going on blindly, living beyond their means, speaking politically correct, ignoring the degregation that Liberalisms brings. Now we are truly circling the bowl in this toiet that the Commies have conned us into. I hold all the liberals responsible. Because of them, we all must suffer. But they must pay and beg forgiveness for they’re stupidity.

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is,as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

It is misnamed, it should be called Bankers Fallout Shelter, even better “Cold Man Shacks”.

Joe the plumber was right

JOE December 12th, 2009 – 11:42 pm
hey Joe I’m Conservative I’m pro life easiest way not to have an abortion is not to get pregnant..so best way not to get pregnant would be neuter all males problem solved….Hey sounds as smart as your solution…

It was replaced by Obamatron brown shirts.

PelosiCare is a small business and job killer.

Cap and Trade is a small business and job killer

Card Check is a business and job killer on it’s way to communism SEIU style.

Know your key senators…. Bayh,…. Webb,…. Warner,….. Baucus,…. Lincoln,….. Pryor,….. Nelson,….. Snowe, Collins,…. Casey,….. Landrieu and “Countrywide” Kent Conrad.

The red state senators is where we turn the tide. Taxpayer funded abortion and healthcare for illegal immigrants are big problems for them.

I think they are being to kind to maobama.

I picture an obamaville to be a huge outdoor latrine. Like where his litter of woolly- headed half brothers and sisters live in darkness, assuming his real father wasn’t malcolm X or frank marshall davis.

If you want to understand what is going on financially with our country right now Google “Cloward and Piven Strategy.” Once you understand this political strategy then all of the current administration’s actions will make perfect sense.

Secondly, being Pro-life is not about being pro-gov’t control. I believe all Americans deserve legal protection over their person from endangerment of others. It is a Libertarian viewpoint, I should be able to do what I want until it infringes on the rights of others, such as LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (property.) In this case, the rights of a woman in regards to her body should stop at the ability to murder another American, another human. That is a Conservative stance, a Libertarian stance, and a Christian stance, NOT a leftist stance Joe.

Truly, a correct sign. $787 Billion was supposed to stop unemployment in its tracks. It wouldn’t go above 8% said the Obamessiah…and the sheeple bleeted “Yes, take from our children. Everything for youuuuu, Everything for youuuuu”

Meh…I have a different take: Obozo

Hey, Gary T. The reasons nobody is in jail. It all started with your DEMOCRATS.

The fact is that politicians from both parties are responsible for the economic meltdown by forcing businesses to use practices they never would use if the governmental pressure didn’t exist. Both parties are driving down the same road, headed for the same cliff & the only difference is that Republicans are driving 45mph and Dems are doing 70. We have elected a group of people who think they are so much smarter than the rest of us that they are better able to make decisions for each of us than we are ourselves. Don’t believe for a minute that the global warming hoax and the health care takeover are not a power play that will subjucate us and our kids and grandkids. If cap and trade passes they will control the size of our cars and houses, where and how we can travel, and how much energy we can use. If the healthcare takeover passes they will control what we can eat, what activities we can indulge in, personal habits and just about every other aspect of our lives.

Yep, this is just what B.O. wants. Take everyone down to poverty so he can socialize the country. Remember his words, you can’t let a good tragedy go to waste. Pretty soon the only choice of food we will have is Chinese.

goldman sachs is located at 85 broad street in downtown new york for all those that want to, ahem, protest.

To the ignorant “Progressives/Liberals” who make a living Bush bashing. The Bush Administration went to Congress 17 times to complain that Fannie and Freddie were headed for disaster. Gay Barney Frank and crook Chris Dodd refused to stop the loans going to people who could not pay them back by railing that there was no problem, and many times raising the specter of racism for the motives of President Bush. All the while a do-nothing junior Senator named Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm Mmm Mmm) received huge contributions from Freddie/Fannie second only to crook Chris Dodd. Now how did the junior Senator rate so much moola as Dodd who had been in the Senate for 30 years. No “Progressives/Liberals”… that sign should remain “Obamaville” because eventually all of us will end up there if America doesn’t get it’s head screwed on right in 2010 and 2012. All your insipid emails prove is that Liberalism IS A MENTAL DISORDER. Please get help today.

Who is John Galt?

It has already been said many times before, but let me remind you democraps once again. Everything was going just fine in the G.W.Bush administration until three years ago when a bunch of ignorant people elected a democrap majority to the House and Senate. In no time at all everything started going downhill with the stupidity the democraps displayed. They did not do what was best for the country because they were only interested in doing what would hurt the Republicans. Bush’s only mistake was in not using his veto power more often. It is tough trying to be a gentleman when traveling with political garbage. What happened a year ago was that the gargoyls started running the cathedral. Many of you Nobama voters just wanted to be in on a historic event. So now yes, you are in on a historic event, the collapse of the countrys economy. The collapse which started at least when the democraps took control of the government. Bah Humbug to those of you who supported this historic event and can’t admit your failure’s of judgement when voting!

Gary T. December 12th, 2009 – 12:41 pm
These people need & deserve help.
But the sign should read Bushville!
This economic collapse happened on President Bush’s watch!!
If this sign brings in assistance for these people – then it is worth it no matter who you name it after.
I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??
Please explain that to the millions of children going without!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Finally! Someone who un derstands that 9-11 was clinton’s fault.

Understand Barry and his leftist buddies are blaming George Washington and other founding fathers for many of his troubles today. If it wasn’t for that damn constitution, it would be a lot easier to just take over with his full socialist plans. Now that Harry Reid is showing his prowess with history by blaming the republicans for the civil war and keeping blacks in slavery and fighting the civil rights battles of the 50’s, we can see why the democrats fight so hard to keep kids in crappy public schools. Wonder how many idiots out there know Reid’s party was the one supporting slavery, civil rights, black lynching with FDR, and now of course supports the murder of 50,000,000 infants. But what has facts got to do with emotion and phony empathy. Note that the new budget has money in the budge for Washington DC for needles for druggies, federal funds for abortion, but nothing there for vouchers currently used by the poor to get their kids into better schools like Obama has for his kids. Don’t them field niggers know their place? The democrats have no place for you with vouchers with the white folks and house niggers. This plan must have come from klansman Byrd. I will never understand my African Americans vote as they do with the history of the democratic party. Even today with twice as many aborted African American children compared to their population, they do not seem to understand the democrats support abortion. And if they had so much empathy and think free programs will help the poor, why did the first black president Clinton sign off on legislation to dramatically curb welfare and say the era of big government was over. Barry must have been busy with Rev Wright when that was going on. Would be interesting to see where Barry was when Clinton signed that legislation.

How’s that hope and change working for you?

READ THIS ARTICLE ………. NOW … HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS
HOPE AND CHANGE?????????????????

http://www.eutimes.net/2009/11/obama-orders-1-million-us-troops-to-prepare-for-civil-war/comment-page-4/#comment-3464

The economy was losing more than a half a million jobs a month when Bush left office. His grand total for eight years of mismanagement was 3 million jobs created. Clinton, by contrast, created 21 million jobs in eight years. Last month, the increase in unemployment finally was less than 50,000 people. It takes time to fix things; have a little patience. This is a great country. NOBODY said the stimulus would fix things overnight. You do realize that almost half the stimulus went for tax cuts for the middle class, right? Guess that doesn’t fit into your narrative that Obama is a socialist.

u ain’t seen nothing yet….this whole freaking country is gonna look like a third world country thanks to these freaking people that voted for obama, but that what u get for voting for a president just because of his skin color….and guess who he is screwing the most, yes his own people..lol…rock on obama,,,rock on baby

It’s no wonder that 99.9% of child molesters are democrats!

boy howdy there are some slow minded people out there. hello… HELLOO!!! the same architects, money-changers, syncophants, and crooks that made money from the Global Financial Crisis of 2008®. The same ones who operate the Fed, Wallstreet. The people who broker power and global big money. Yea those you slow witted folks, ARE STILL AT WORK DOING WHAT THEY DO IN THE OBAMA NATION. I know it’s hard to follow kids but do a little homework, maybe try to read a book, look on the interwebby. You might just find that these same people have been manipulating our economy for many years. So please- shut your yammering piehoels about this Bush/Obama/Clinton nonsense. They are all culpible.
Time for YOU the taxpayer/voter/economic unit to be accountable

ehh, obama’s gonna be like another carter. ill lay a picture of the next year. unemployment will remain at 10 percent, they will have to clearly stay in afghanistan for more than 1 year, they will spend more time focusing on climate change and an energy bill than the economy. and surprise surprise they’ll lose alot of seats in the 2010 election. so obama has a choice than, he can either be like carter and try to ride his liberal base… and than lose. or he can be like clinton and try to become more conservative and play to the republicans… honestly, i already know hes gonna be like carter because i dont think he can bring himself to be a true conservative. luckily he has become conservative on military issues because he now realizes that theres no such thing as a liberal military… that doesnt work. so when his afghanistan plan obviously wont take 1 year, he’ll probably be shocked. but no one in the military will be. afghanistan and iraq aren’t like germany and japan during world war 2, there like korea after the korean war. we are going to be there…. probabaly forever. just like were never going to leave korea. because its not in our interest to leave. we have to have an influence in the middle east, and the only way were going to do so is to stay there. our military bases will be there not only by the 2012 elections. but 100 years from now in the 2112 election.

1/20/2013…… probably gonna be newt gingrich. it would be john bohener if his name didnt look like boner. but will see. also it could be huckabee. idk, definitly not palin though.. i think shes probably gonna get either a talk show or a radio show.

This whole process started over a decade ago when the federal government mandated banks to make bad loans. The Bush administration actually warned congress about this coming crisis for years while Reid and Pelosi skipped along. That aside Pres. Obama came into office with promises of a magic fix of hope and change. A huge payoff bill was passed named a stimulus plan. He promised unemployment wouldn’t go above 8%. He’s trying to ram a healthcare system, that most Americans don’t want, through congress. He is pushing cap and trade. Both of which would impose huge tax increases on citizens and business. No wonder nobody wants to hire. Now the Democrats want to add another 2 trillion to the debt this year. The dollar is on the verge of being replaced as the currency for oil trading. The Chinese, the biggest holder of American debt, are mocking the Obama administration. The American bond rating is about to be downgraded. Yet Obama and the Dems. want to keep spending our country into hyper-inflation and keep crying, “George Bush did it!” It’s time to wake up and stop the blame game and demand that the current occupants of the Whith House and Congress tahe accountibility for their actions today and in the past. Isn’t that what a leader does?????????

Gary T:
You are so full of it. Why don’t you buy some candles and hold hands…
Liberal fascists… (read the book!)

TRUTH HURTS, DOESN’T IT? OBAMA…you are a despicable, sorry excuse for a president.

Post your legalcare horror story, and use our template to send a letter to Congress.

* 1 in 8 black males in their 20’s is in prison

* Over 280 million Americans lack legalcare insurance

* Half of all poor Americans suffer from a serious legal condition each year, and yet 75% of them have no access to the legalcare they need and deserve

* Name one celebrity, politician or executive who has been represented by a public defender

* End the practice of attorneys and law-firms “cherry picking” lucrative or easy cases while denying quality legalcare to disparity groups at a fair and stable price

Barak is our Shepherd; We shall not dissent.
He maketh us to lie down in culturally-diverse pastures:
He leadeth us beside bankrupt industries.
He restoreth our welfare benefits:
He leadeth us in the paths of dependency for His name’ sake.

Yea, though We walk through the valley of the shadow of capitalism,
We will fear no lay-offs: For thou art with us;
Thy czars and thy stimulus bills, they comfort us.
Thou preparest healthcare before us in the presence of our enemies;
Thou annointest our heads with The Kool-Aid; Our cups runneth over.

Surely ignorance and poverty shall follow us all the days of our lives,
and we will dwell in the House of Obama forever.

Since none of you Obama Sheeple talk reason… I am just going to say Obama is a moron and each and every one of you are as well. Just wait and see, all you morons who never cared about politics until he came along… you will go down with the rest of us. And your mouth in the camps…we will shut it up real quick! America will survive…but will you?

* 1 in 8 black males in their 20’s is in prison — lol, and whose fault is that.. doing drive-bys has that effect on your life.

Gary T. you lemming… it is Obamaville for a reason… he is causing this… wait til inflation kicks in next year, you will find your a$$ out in the cold with the homeless.

Reading these comments I find the prase “children going without” used frequently. Where are all of these children? I don’t see wandering hoards of these starving souls wandering the ghettos looking for scraps of food like you do in Mexico City or Rio Dejenero. This country provides WIC, FoodStamps, Aid to Dependent Children, Section 8 Housing Welfare etc. So would someone please show me a picture of a group of these emaciated, starving children, cause I have yet to see any. Sure there are children with abusive PARENTS who are drunks and addicts, who neglect their responsibilities to their children, but how can you blame the government for these creeps.

Welcome to to the Islamic Republic of Obamistan

Invest in canned goods.
We’re gonna need it soon.

Obama is our worst nightmare.

I would be curious to know the number of registered democrats in Obamaville along with how many of them voted for the great one.

How’s that hope and change workin out for ya?

Bush sucked pretty bad, not one veto. but this obama dude, he is 10X worse!!!

Once again, blame Bush. He has been out of office a year. Bush had made a strong come back from 9/11. Obama cannot even make a comeback from a change of office. Fraud runs ramped in his camp.

After the rapture you Christ denying liberals can and will run the country into the pit. Ramped and blind, then will come another, who you will once again follow blindly and willing, claiming peace but murdering millions for the sake of saving the earth.

This administration is just a practice run for what is to come, and it will be even worse.

James, you mean Hoax and Change!!!

Wow!!! A few readers got it right! While no “Bush Lover,” Congress is the one who controls the purse strings and it was the Democrats who approved, over and over, the most spending ever beginning in 2008. Liberals, can you please take responsibility just once? I take responsibility for some of the reckless spending by Bush and disagreed with him on it. However, the community organizer is making him look like a piker!

Seems these idiots don’t understand that congress substantially controls spending
in this country. Even though Bush was president for those 8 years, the last two he
had to deal with a democratic controlled congress. That’s when things started going
to hell. Things got better under Clinton when a republican congress came into power.
And you’re going to judge George Bush by what the left wing aggended liberal media had
to say? They certainly were not going to shed any good light upon him and you idiots
are too gullible to see this, as you were by voting for obama. If you sing the praises
of obama, reid, pelosi, especially after what has happened in the last 10 months, heaven
help you.

Obama is for the rich and himself and does not care about anyone else. Obama takes from the middle class and gives to the rich. Obama has to go.

Obama will charge these poor people carbon credits for using a camp fire,the city will tell them to move along now you cannot stay no more,and god forbid if thay make one tent a church with a cross,,I am just making it by.I will send something to help[we are still americans]where can i send a check?

Liberals would claim Obamaville should be named Bushville. I claim Obamaville is accurate as well as Bushville, Hooverville and Big Guv’mintville.

In 1921 Warren Harding was elected President. He promised to end the Big Guv’mint intervention from the Wilson era, lower taxes, repeal excess profits tax from World War 1, and generally get back to good old fashioned Conservative values. Harding died in 1923 from a heart attack and Vice President Calvin Coolidge took over. What followed was unprecedented economic growth and prosperity – the roaring 20’s. Herbert Hoover was elected President in 1929.

In 1929 there was the stock market crash, not yet the Great Depression. Early in the Hoover administration tax rates were cut from 73% to 24%. Yet, shortly thereafter Hoover started his transformation from Republican to Repubic hair.

* Hoover in 1931 urged the major banks in the country to form a consortium known as the National Credit Corporation (NCC). NCC member banks were encourage to provide loans to smaller banks preventing them from collapsing. NCC member banks were to provide loans, usually requiring banks to provide their largest assets as collateral. The NCC was incapable of fixing the problems it was designed to solve, and it was replaced by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation – Big Guv’mint – (RFC). The RFC’s initial goal was to provide *_government-secured loans to financial institutions_*, railroads and farmers.

* In 1932 Hoover agreed to the largest tax increase in American history to pay for his Big Guv’mint. The Revenue Act of 1932 raised income tax on the highest incomes from 25% to 63%. The estate tax was doubled and corporate taxes were raised by almost 15%. Also, a “check tax” was included that placed a 2-cent tax (over 30 cents in today’s dollars) on all bank checks. Economists conclude that the check tax was “an important contributing factor to that period’s severe monetary contraction.” Hoover also encouraged Congress to investigate the New York Stock Exchange and this pressure resulted in various regulations.

* The Federal Reserve increased interest rates, capital requirements, and generally contracted the money supply.

* Hoover, took an active role in trying to protect the economy through wage controls and job sharing. Hoover generally shared the economic theory that the stock market crash was a consequence of inequality of wealth and income. Hoover signed into law the Davis – Bacon Act, which required local governments to pay union wages on public works projects. Unemployment continued to grow from a 16% rate because wages were kept artificially high limiting employment opportunities.

* Hoover raised tariffs on imported goods and blocked trade opportunities.

Roosevelt won the 1932 election by criticizing Hoover’s Big Guv’mint, spending, high taxes, centering control of the economy in Washington DC. Laughable considering Roosevelt was the largest spender in peace time American History. Roosevelt claimed that Hoover was putting the United States on the path to Socialism.

GW Bush started out well with tax cuts, attempts to get Big Guv’mint off the back of financial institutions. Yet, his true colors showed through with passage and support of the largest entitlement in American History – prescription drug coverage. When the economy pulled back in Sept 2008 Bush agreed to TARP. This money was supposed to be used to buy up bad assets and was crafted by Tim “tax cheat” Geithner while Hank Paulsen Treasury Secretary was at the helm. They used the money, instead, to bail-out very weak institutions so that counter party trades could clear. AIG owed Goldman-Saks $92B in counter-party trades … well now Hank Paulsen was CEO of Goldman Saks. Goldman Saks was paid the next day.

The Obozo ran on a platform that Bush was spending too much money and increasing the size of Big Guv’mint. Laughable … everything he is doing is doubling down on destroying the economy. He will raise taxes, the stimulus (Porkulus) has trade tariffs, he is putting wage controls into place at GM and Chrysler, the spending is unimaginably destructive. There are generations of American’s not conceived yet that already owe enormous taxes. All of the Obozoites policies will lead to higher unemployment, deficits, lower trade, the destruction of the dollar, and worse … a requirement that you work longer and longer hours to pay the taxes required for this Big Guv’mint.

Obozonomics will result in more and more Obamavilles. A more detailed write up will be posted to my website.

It’s all rather childish to see the back and fourth of the posters who try to place blame for the situation many find themselves in today. The factors that lead us here are multi faceted. The question that really needs to be asked is what is being done at the moment to try and alleviate the suffering. From my personal perspective I see absolutely nothing coming out of the current administration or the current Congress which is turning our financial ship of state other than in the wrong direction. We are spending trillions of dollars in borrowed money which has produced little to no employment only to make increase our dependence upon the state. Precious little has been done to increase employment opportunities within the private sector. In fact, I believe that the current fads of the day, i.e. socialized medicine and cap and tax will only further decrease employment opportunities while raising the costs of both medicine and energy for most of the American public. I suppose my point is that blame at this juncture is meaningless. What matters now are results. Something we are getting precious little of from Washington at the moment.

This makes the Bush-haters go CRAZY!! Of course, they already are. Point and LOL!

Ayn Rand-

I know who John Galt is.

Don’t worry. Obama has an election surprise which will come before the elections this next fall. Stimulus money will be released to give people the illusion that our economic situation is getting better. That is the political play here . . . or as some would say, politics as practiced by Boss (Mayor) Richard J. Daley in Chicago. Remember when they had dead people voting? Our democracy is in shambles, thanks to ACORN, SEIU, and satellite organizations run by socialists and communists.

Gary T: here’s a short lesson in the constitution: the president doesn’t spend money, congress does. the president can propose spending, but congress holds the purse strings. and who was in charge of both houses of congress since 2006? democrats (and obama was one of them). also, not only did bush warn of the coming collapse in 2005, but so did mc cain. and again, who was in charge of both houses of congress beginning in 2006? the democrats (including obama). here ends the lesson.

When will the statists quit blaming Bush? They have had the Congress for three years and the wh for one. To answer my own question, when did they stop blaming Reagan?

It is funny how conservatives are unable to handle the new big numbers being thrown around. We have reached a time in history where the numbers mentioned will often be hundred billions into trillions. It is nothing to “flip out” over. My advice to the conservatives is to quit being so Amish and start progressing through time and space.

While Obama may not have performed some sort of magical quick-fix, he has done as much as his job title allows. If Obama started completely mapping legislature, there would be a separation of powers dilemma. Obama repeatedly throws some new ideas to Congress, and he tries to concede some of his liberal desires to the Republicans, but they keep refusing to vote for bills they themselves helped shape.

The Republicans think it is un-American to dislike Bush, then what is it when the Republicans bug out over Obama? The bottom line is if you like Bush and do not like Obama, you are un-American. The guy is half white at the end of the day, and he is just trying to fix this broken machine.

well while we are between elections now Acorn should be busy busting locks on houses so folks can get back in. And they should be bullying the grocery store owner for food donations… Come on Acorn get with!

sarc/off now lol

Gary T asked; I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster?? Gary ave you considered that many of them work for Obama?

guy

All you liberal pukes who thought Bus was sooooo bad are now eating serious humble pie, crow and your hats.
Thanks for ruining our country by electing these dim witted socialist pukes. At least I have solace that he’s
a one termer and the grown ups can regain power.

How’s that “Hoax And Chains” working for all you illegal Kenyan Muslim rump licks, hmmmm? Anti-Obama bumper stickers at: http://www.zazzle.com/mrunpc.

Notice how the coverage of this story was COMPLETELY in Obama’s favor? There’s not ONE mention, or example of anyone (except the guy who posted the signs), including the station, putting the “blame” on Obamanomics.

Now, if President Bush were in office and this took place, these Commie reporters would be doing nothing but blaming him.

May 6, 2008: Obama takes the permanent primary delegate lead
Dow Jones Industrial Average = 13,021
Sept. 19, 2008: Obama takes the permanent national poll lead
DJIA = 11,388
Oct. 12, 2008: Obama makes his “I want to spread the wealth around” confession to “Joe the plumber”
DJIA jumps 937 points in ONE day on the HOPE that the
socialist will NOT win
Nov. 4, 2008: Obama is elected
DJIA = 9,625
Nov. 20, 2008: DJIA bottoms at 7,552

Overall, The Obama Bust began on May 6, 2008, and decimated 42% of the nation’s personal wealth and retirement savings (DJIA) BEFORE he even took office.

Who was it that twisted the arms of banks to make loans the borrower would in all likelihood NEVER be able to repay? Was it President Bush? No, it was Democrats in Congress; you remember Chris Dodd and Barney Frank (etal) and their roles in this mess…don’t you?

Lots of funny people on this site playing the Bush Vs Obama game. The problem started even before Bush and some of you in this post contributed to it by buying too much house and use your house as an ATM machine. But now, it’s Bush and Obama’s fault. Keep dreaming.

Lots of good posts here. I would argue the problem goes back a lot farther. Lincoln changed the nature of the presidency by overriding Constitutional limitations. Arresting Taney, Chief Justice, would pretty much bring the Judiciary to heel under the Executive. Through the years up to 1900, the office of the presidency was achieving more and more power. Teddy Roosevelt(R) was arguably the first of the progressive presidents and used the position to become the “steward of public welfare.” Trust-busting and reform acts (mostly anti-business) allowed the national government to incrementally encroach on the private sector. 1913 was a pivotal year. The 16th Amendment (establishment of the income tax), 17th Amendment (direct election of senators, and the Federal Reserve Act gave the national government enormous powers. Woodrow Wilson, another progressive, set the stage for America’s entry in WWI, massive war spending, and flirtation with international government. Herbert Hoover and FDR did a double “whammy” on the economy beginning the Great Depression then prolonging it by continued government intervention. The 1944 Breton Woods agreement allowed Fabian Socialists like Keynes to shape global (and US) economic policy. By the 1950’s both political parties, D and R, were similar differing mainly in style. Nelson Rockefeller further brought the Republicans into a more liberal, internationalist view. Goldwater was arguably the last of the Constitutionalists on the political stage. It was a race between liberal wings of both parties to destroy him. By 1964, any difference between the two parties was gone. The Vietnam war eroded the US economy and exacerbated racial and political tensions. The CRA was a 1977 attempt at affordable housing for the poor. Subsequent presidents did nothing to end it. Some, like Clinton, expanded it. Clinton and Bush were the first products of the Vietnam, big government. Both took the US on a path leading to the obama person. For brevity, a considerable number of actors and events were left out of this, but I hoped the reader gets a sense that it was STRAYING FROM THE CONSTITUTION that caused the country to be where it is now. US history from 1860 until now shows very little adherence to the Constitution on the part of the federal central government. Listen to the Health Care Reform debate. Repubs and Dems are arguing which plan, who should be covered, etc., as opposed to..does the federal government even have any authorization to be involved in health care? Sitting up there in their “jobs for life” like some caricature of Orwell’s Inner Party, they don’t even bother to hide their elitism and special privilege anymore. Who then is to blame? Dems, Repubs, liberals, conservatives? From the movie V the answer is “if you’re looking for someone to blame, you need only look into a mirror. The Americans in 2010 can stop this, NOW. Read the Constitution, study the Federalist Papers and vote/impeach/recall/cast out… all of them. Clean out the entire hive at Jabba.gov and start anew. They will fight back and it will get ugly but justice will prevail.

When I lived in Bushville I had about $150,000 more than I do today….In Obamaville I have no hope and the change is all in my pockets….

Unfortunatly strongleaders like President Bush are in short supply and what we get now is a unexperenced little boy with a chip on his shoulder.

I will do my part in the comming elections to save our country…

Thanks Pres Bush for the good times….

Bush was called Hitler for 8 years. Nobody in the MSM cared. Obamaville sign goes up, it’s front page news. But there is no liberal bias in the media, no sir.

@Gary-

Dude, the economic collapse was maybe partially a result of Bush, but it is mostly due to Democrats Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Obama, and others who pushed the entire CRA (Community Re-investment Act) thru, which forced banks and lending institutions to loan to people who hadn’t the credit, and left HUGE amounts of empty houses on the books! That rattled the banking industry, lead to defaults everywhere and destabilized the entire economy. Liberal guilt (and greed, face it, the Dem leaders are the greedy ones, who want power AND our money) is what caused the collapse, and now Obama (who was working at ACORN as lead counsel and helped push CRA onto FNMA and FNMC, BTW) with his ignorance of economics, is making it worse.

What do Tiger Woods and Obama have in common?

They’re both blaming it on Bush

THIS is what we had in ‘06 when Republicans held both houses of congress and the WH, and dim-0s were running for control of congress promising “CHANGE.” How’re yall liking the “CHANGE?”

I puke every time I see BHO on tv

This is a concerted effort to puposely destroy the ecomomy and the American way of life as Americans have known it. If there is prosperity,the people will not want CHANGE. So, what Obama and his ilk have to do is make things so bad in this country that the sheeple will willingly go along with big brother “helping” them. This is Obamas way of leading the United State of America to transform into the PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF AMERIKA.

Do we argue over the shade of red used on stop signs? Lets not quibble over who made the sign. Read the message and see the future. Vote accordingly in the future. Obama has been One Big A$$ed Mistake for America!

That’s because Bush’s puppet master was Hitler and you’re all goosestepping corporatist nazi’s.

Who the h*ll in their right mind would ever start a business with this stupid *ss administration in office? I certainly wouldn’t. Why would anyone start a business and not be able to make a good profit from it? This administration would tax the h*ll out of any new businesses starting up…. I would wait, and I’m sure a lot of companies would agree to start or expand when these morons are out of office in 2010, and 2012.

It’s becoming very tiresome to see the kool aid drinkers blaming everything on Bush while Obama and his band of thieves rape the wealth and run up the highest deficits in history. Hopefully we can get this collectivist filth we have in power now out of there soon before it’s too late.

To put thiss on Obama is a joke. Repubs basically contolled the previous eight years. We had the worst financial collapse since the great depression and worst recession sinc then. Lowering taxes another 3 percent isn’t going
to get people spending more, which is what fuels the economy. 35-40% of the stimulus was tax cuts btw. Once a
recession ends it typically takes a year to get back on track for hiring. Considering this one was extra bad it’ll take longer, but it’s getting better now. The deficit was 1.3 trillion before Obama took the oath. It’s not something that resets every year. It’s a rolling projection. Wait another 2 years and see where we are. If this are still shite then go ahead blame Obama. Until then,
you’re just ignoring history. Also to compare the 2000 recession to this last one is intellectualy dishonest

Gary T is just the poster boy for those who still are in the deep sleep of Obama worship. He likely has spent his entire life on the government dole. You know a welfare mommy, no dad… Sad really.
Gary, get a job so you can pay taxes and maybe donate some time and money to local charity.
Do you even know what this represents?
Do you know what Hoovrville was?
These homeless do.
Unlike you Gary conservitives donate to charity. And do not expect daddy governent to fix all their problems. Infact we want government out of our lives!

people are starting to wake up to the left,s true agenda of destroying America, wake up people it is treason. one world order of Al Gore,s and Obama,s thiefs

Funny how after a year and hundreds of billions of dollars squandered by President Obama, those that worship at the cult of personality still try to hang this on President Bush. This is Obamanomics now. Yes, President Bush spent and grew government too much, however any mistake he made, President Obama dwarfed by comparison and seemingly has no intention of stopping. Not the change anyone (except George Soros maybe) was hoping for.

‘Give them the wealth’…
Pay attention now…While several states are broke (California for example), many Americans are facing unemployment, and Obama camps are springing up…The US gov led by Fearless leader has gifted nearly every foreign despotic and/or Islamic countries, with billions of US taxpayers money…Pakistan billions, Egypt billions, Palestinian Hamas a billion…Fatah under Abbas hundreds of millions and many others…Gifts from US taxpayers…Obama did not invent foreign aid (not called for in the US Constitution)but he is using it as a way to redistribute America’s wealth. In his Cairo speech, he promised the Islamic world even more US money…According to Obama, “I’m not tired, I’m all fired up and ready to go”…Are you watching where he is going?

Has anybody in the last 20 years seen a democrat take responsibility for anything, No it’s always Bush’s fault. I am not a Republican or a Democrat but I am disapointed in those who are always blaming Bush for everything including Storms, earthquakes and the death of most of humnanity since 10 BC.
What a sick nation we have become and there is no cure in sight.

DID YO NOTICE HOW THERE WAS A RUSH TO DISTANCE THE SIGN FROM PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AS IF THE SIGN WERE AN OFFENSE????? WHo the hell is Obama that everyone can’t SAY IT LIKE IT IS. This man is protected as if he were the Messiah!!!!! We can’t say anything to disparage him??? WHo the hell is he??? He is an empty suit who came in and took a bad situation and has made it FAR WORSE ON PURPOSE. He is a marxist radical who CONQUERED US. He did not win an election but won the chance to destroy. IMPEACH HIM NOW BEFORE WE ARE ALL LIVING IN A TENT CITY WITH HIS ELISTIST PALS STEALING FROM US ALL. BRING GEORGE SOROS TO TRIAL. STRIP HIS OF HIS CITIZENSHIP. TRY HIM FOR TREASON.

This is a result of Obamanomics. Anyone who thinks Bush owns this mess now and not Obama is speaking
out of desperation. Obama made a calculated call to focus on healthcare overhaul that has turned out
to be disasterous and kept focus completely off jobs. Obama also pushed for a stimulus package that
increase our already high deficit which turned out to be a complete failure. Obama is now pushing
for another stimulus along with financial stragulations on business and a cap and trade bill that will
kill industries further. None of that was Bush’s doing. Umemployment was around 6% when bush left…
if Obama did not ignore the economy and jobs while went completely tunnel vision into his own agenda
of building up bigger governemnet while demoninizing businesses, we would not be seeing 10%
unemployment today. He’s made very little efforts to work towards jobs for the people but have made
many moves to build up his legacy and to ensure another win in 2012. problem is….no jobs, no 2nd
term.

Here’s STIMULUS for you…

Al Gore got $529 MILLION American Taxpayer dollars to develope a hybrid sports car… in FINLAND! WHY?

Goverment workers all got big pay raises over the last year, and thousands were added to the Goverment payrolls. WHY?

Thousands of people in Detroit were handed $5,000 checks, did you get yours? WHY?

Actual cost estimates of jobs just created or saved by this stimulus range from $160,000. to $533,000. EACH!! WHY?

This current administration and congress will go down as the most incompedent and corrupt in American history!

We are controlled my a bunch of millionaire CROOKS! Al Gore and his global warming scam who is now a billionaire while using 500 times more energy then the average Ameirican, but he wants us poor people to sacrafice. I think we need to do a sacrafice for sure!

Stop the stupid democrat-republican junk. Both bankster puppets, Bush and Obama are to blame. The sign should read Federal Reserve-ville to acknowledge the real problem. END The Fed!

Along with Barney, Carter, Clinton, Barry and the rest of the gang that foisted this economic fiasco on us, I would also throw in the drive by media. I remember Bush during his first term trying to put the brakes on Freddie and Fannie.

There was so much information out there regarding what would eventually happen in real estate that it was mind boggling.

But, the information never got out to the people, the joe six pack crowd that gets its news from the networks. Just as today, it is rare you will ever hear a negative word regarding what this congress and potus are up to on the network news. Look at climategate, not one word by the msm. Even if one does watch Fox, even they can only report so much.

People, we are in for a world of hurt if this continues.

‘On December 19, 2008, President Bush used his executive authority to declare that TARP funds may be spent on any program he personally deems necessary to avert the financial crisis. This has allowed President Bush to extend the use of TARP funds to support the auto industry, a move supported by the United Auto Workers.

This must be where he gave up free market principles in order to save them. What would McCain be doing any differently than Obama right now?

for the blame bush/obama crowd.
FYI this economic tsunami was created on December 23, 1913 by the Federal Reserve act in which Congress willingly surrendered their duty ‘ to coin money,[ and] regulate the value thereof”
If you believe that private cartel of banksters will for-go their personal enrichment and stick their necks out in a selfless act to save an economy think again.
There was a little thing called the Great Depression that the Fed not only mismanaged but played a major role in creating.

And this gang of bankster thugs incorporated as The Federal Reserve continue to enriche themselves at the expense of the people while the infrastructure of the United State crumbles at our feet.

It took the oligarchs of a two party system to create this absolute economic catastrophe .Remember Reagan claiming that “deficits don’t matter”. Well surprise. They do.

If you truly want to help resolve this abhorrent abuse of our country’s monetary system before the point of no return is reached , go here and support Ron Paul’s “Audit the FED” bill H.r. 1207 .

It’s only yours and the future of this country that’s at stake.

“I sincerely believe… that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” -Thomas Jefferson

All one has to do is comprehend what this mindless moron we have in office now said during an interview. If you understand the following excerpt from the interview then you know what Americans have elected.

In America,” Obama says, “we have this strong bias toward individual action. You know, we idolize the John Wayne hero who comes in to correct things with both guns blazing. But individual actions, individual dreams, are not sufficient. We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations.”

- Barack Obama,
Interview with the Chicago Reader, 1995

Obama and his team would like all of us homeless so they can save the earth from warming .

Make the populace a bunch of economic morons through our K-12 public indoctrination system and then you easily sell them “hope and change” based on totally false economic principles. Worked well in 2008!

You nomes all believe the Messiah was going to put cash in your pockets and give you a brand new car. There has to be (and there’s going to be)a revolution in this country in order to fix things. Liberals vs the rest of us…the good thing is we haven’t turned in our guns. In about 6 months, you libs will finally have to really fight for what you believe in cause armed conflict will ensue and it will be join us or get stampeded. Your eugenics, new world order, global warming, cap & trade BS was too much and you have to go. No more! Different Pro America groups are growing by the thousands every week and when the time comes, they will unite and challenge this govt. It didn’t have to be this way but we will not go quietly into the night.

‘I still don’t understand why nobody has been charged or jailed for the economic disaster??’

Because, Gary T, the Demagogs haven’t been able to find a Republican to blame it on and publicly execute. The incessant ‘last eight years’ mantra never gets disputed either. The Demagogs have been majority party in both houses of Congress since Jan 2007, going on three years now. Nothing in history has ever happened by accident. The Demagogs totally own this.

Yes, few people talk about it, but its true. Greedy progressive liberals like George Soros (who bets against our dollar), Warren Buffett (whos invested heavily in alternative energies) and many other billionare eco-idiot investors were THE SPECTCULATORS in Oil that drove gas prices to $5. a gallon, to set up the downfall of the economy and the election of Obama.

The $5. a gallon gas was the straw that broke the camels back for our economy. The liberals needed that to happen, in order to elect Obama and push their green fraud on America and the rest of the planet. They made Oil Companies the evil ones, so that people will accept the more costly green alternatives. They have billions invested in this, and you will comply whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, if they get their way.

And…..why isn’t America seeing this? Why are we not aware of this is where we are likely to be if we do not stop the bled of money from these shores? What’s with you media. You’ve let this sit too long. PUt it in
Pictures 8 foot high.

Get ready for more Obamavilles everywhere. I wonder if MO will wear her $500 tennis shoes when she visits.

Sorry folks. I have to keep blaming GW because I have no other talent. As for the stimulus money, I had to repay Mr. Soros. Than you to all of the sheep, oops I mean voters that elected me.

<<>
LOL. Worked well in 2000 too! And many elections prior.
A pox on both houses.
Don’t be a sucker your entire life.

PRESIDENT JAMES A. GARFIELD

“Whoever controls the volumn of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.”

PRESIDENT FRANKLIN d. ROOSEVELT

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson.”

PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON

“A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world–no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government of conviction, and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress, of small groups of dominant men.”

Just before President Woodrow Wilson died, he is reported to have stated to friends that he had been “deceived” and that “I have betrayed my Country”. referring to the Federal Reserve Act, passed during his Presidency.

ANSELM ROTHSCHILD
“Give me the power to issue a nation’s money; then I do not care who makes the law.”

Hey Gary. The Democrats took control of Congress in 2006. See any correlation here buddy. This is when the liberal policies started to go in effect with Pelosi, Reed and Frank. You need to wake up. Obama has made things worse. When he took office the unemployment rate was at 6.5 now it is at 10%. We need to expand jobs. How do you do that. Don’t punish the wage maker because in the end it hits real families (the wage earner). We need to wake-up. All of this global warming stuff is a hoax. Changing numbers to make an outcome a certain way instead of using real correct numbers is a lie. Obama’s policies have made things worse. Tax and spend does not work. Cut taxes and spend less. Also allow drilling off of the west and east coast and you will see hundreds of thousands of jobs created. The ripple effect would extend to other sectors of the economy. Taxes would be created here which in turn would help the whole economy. I am afraid that the democrats are trying to destroy this country and then try to remake in a Communist Chinese model. Wake-up America, get involved and vote these democrat communists out of office.

Gary T, it’s Obama’s policies that are destroying jobs and the economy. It was Carter who began the policy of forcing banks to loan to people who couldn’t pay them back and it was Clinton’s Attorney general Janet Reno who threatened legal action against the banks if they didn’t loan to them. The economy is in trouble because of Democrat meddling in the free market and because of Government overspending. Yes, Bush overspent, however, Obama and the Democrats have spent more in one year than Bush did in the previous 8 years combined. It’s depressing the dollar and causing inflation. At the same time, Obama and the Democrats are raising taxes on everything with no end in site. These homeless camps will continue to grow under Obama and we will fall into a full fledged depression! Mark my words! CrusaderPatriot.com

For those of you who cannot seem to get off the “lets blame everything on GWB” bandwagon, get a life! Look at all the spending congress and BHO have initiated since they took office in January! Not even a whole year and the deficit is already upped $1.7 trillion! Wake up and smell the ozone all you climate change believers! It’s not just what went before but what’s happened since! The whole darned bunch of them are power mad and corrupt! They won’t relinquish power, it will have to be taken from them by voting them out of office! Unfortunately a smooth talking, bigger liar was voted into office along with his Chicago style politics chronies! With three more years of this there will be no US left. He will “change” us into a European type country, with an ever growing Muslim population demanding their civil rights and Sharia law be implemented in their little ghettos until they have grown large enough to overtake our country, and all that will be left in our pockets will be change!

Who’s to blame? Obama, Bush, Republicans, Democrats, left or right. Stop the blame game and wake up sheople. They are all to blame and it started in 1913 when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Everything that is happening is a direct result of monetary policy that is being DICTATED by the fed.

Before 1914 there was no income tax. There are only SEVENTEEN ENUMERATED POWERS that the legislative branch has control over. You have all been fed a lie and you all vote for the “lessor of two evils” to do what, win. Both the left and right spread this paradigm system to the detriment of the US Constitution. They have both screwed up this country and all of us, yes us, who continue to vote these “career” politicians into office are just as much to blame as the politicians.

Most people are now putting up with obama and the distruction of the country. When blogs like this and FOX starts getting sensored, then the revolution will happen and there will be blood.

Possible voting all these idiots out of office in 2010
then kicking the socialist out in 2012 will help restore sanity.

If not I’m lock and loaded when the revolt starts…are you ?

In the mean time Michelle is flying all around the world in her private jet (Air force One)on shopping sprees. Every Wednesday the Obama’s have a huge elitist gala for all their rich Hollywood friends on our tax dollars. 28 trillion dollars for the banksters and nothing for these homeless people. I got a letter the other day from the Social Security telling me that the cost of living hasn’t gone up in the last year and so I won’t get my lousy 12 dollars a month increase this year. My rent went up, gas went up, food went up and everything else went up. Thank you Mr. Hussein Obama, now this is change I can count on. I can hardly wait for the Health reform to come so I can be denied medical treatment because of my age and new taxes will be added and 127 new government agencies will be begin. Neo-cons and neo-libs can all go to hell!

Gary T.
Were you born stupid or do you spend extra time working at it?

Looks like “Hoke and Chains” are working well!

There are more tent cities (Obamavilles) growing nationwide. Cities and charities are shutting down social services due to lack of funds. Newsreports that the homeless are found dead, likely due to exposure. Could Obama care any less, after all it was Obama who insisted and demanded that he would continue his campaign debate without McCain despite the desperate need to discuss the economy? The economy started its tailspin as soon as the polls started to show that Obama would be the next president. Sadly, in these desperate times, the Dems keep discussions on the country’s direction behind closed doors, rather than leading, and are content to lie or spin, rather than to work on bi-partisan solutions. So what if Obama forgot to write into the bailouts a cap on CEO’s pay? So what if the stimulus money doesn’t need to be spent in the US rather than go to expand business and build more plants overseas? So what if the $6Million of the stimulus went to a Democrat pollster? So what if Obama’s first actions were to fund more money going to Arab and African nations? So what if the Democrat majority representatives approved the short-sighted repeals of the financial protection laws during Clinton’s term? So what if Obama let the missile treaty expire with Russia without a new treaty in place?
Rather than blame, the public needs to demand accountability and responsibility of our elected representatives, and that needs to start with bi-partisan open transparent goverment.

Gary T has offered us a typical end-product of government education. FreeKirk at least has a sense of history on a chain of events that has brought this country to the brink of social and economic destruction. Events germane to the current economic problems start with housing programs guaranteed by government largess launched in the 70’s and includes repeals of several laws DESIGNED to prevent the use of borrowed money to leverage speculative investments. Read the history of Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Our present condition was not brought on by an unanticipated “crisis”. Any casual student of economics and congressional malfeasance could have . . . and did predict all this. Blame Carter, Bush, shucks . . . blame anyone you like. But the real blame lies with our parents who were sucked into believing that educating their children at the hands of government was a good thing to do.

Assuming we don’t go over the cliff THIS TIME, what are you doing for YOUR children?

NOoooo, not obamaville! Dear Leader is responsible for all happiness and milk and honey. Bush and cheney bad dudes, enemies of people. Opps forgot no bush cheney anymore. Still they at fault. All evil things are republican. Boo R’s. BOOOOO. Dear Leader win piece prize. Now I want piece of cherry pie with whip, please. thank you. Jose.

great sign.

anyone who thinks that their is something wrong with this is whacked.

althought the sugn should read “Welome To Obamaville, Founded in 2000 by GWB”

One started it, one made it worse.

The thing that makes me laugh is, all you obama sheeple. Because all you pansies get offended by anti-Obama signs, but had no problems with anti-Bush signs. Bet you are the same people that say “we need to get behind our president and show him support!”. Where was that attitude for Bush?

BTW, I strongly dislike this clown in office, and the previous illuminati muppett, as well.

you’re all Sheeple. Run a long now and do as your told

“Gary T December 12th, 2009 – 1:05 pm
I’m sorry, I am wrong, the collapse was the concerted effort of Democrats since Carter, via the Community Reinvestment Act!

Bush WARNED CONgress of the coming collapse but idiots such as Bawney Fwanks said Bush was wrong!!!”

First time I have ever seen a Democrat ADMIT they were wrong and acknowledge that this whole econimic mess started with and continued through the Klinton years. Dont forget either that Greenspan (a Klinton appointee) went with Bush to warn Barney Fwanks, Chuckie Schumer, Maxine Waters, and the host of criminally negligent democrats that Fannie/Freddie were cooking the books worse then ENRON could have ever dreamed. Funny…did anyone go to jail at Fannie/Freddie?

Oh and as our MSM ignored the fact that the NUMBER one receipient of Fannie/Freddie lobbiest money over 10yrs was Chris Dodd…and number 2 was Barack Hussien 0bamao, and he wasnt even in the Senate for 4 years.

Bush is a fault as well by suggesting/approving TARP. 0BAMA added to it and is ready to make it worse by Cap and Tax, Healthcare reform, higher taxes….

Gary T. your just another Lib tard aren’t you. The scum of the Earth, and the cancer of our country. Hopefully someday we’ll remove you and all your ignorant friends from government and return this country to what it once was, the greatest nation on earth, no thanks to the Democrats. Obummer, Pelosi, Reid, Rangel, Frank, Dodd, Boxer, Rangel,ect.ect.ect. what a dam discrace. Just a complete bunch of loosers and the damage they are causing will take years to recover from. Ignorant failures, all of them, starting at the top. It just seems almost hopeless with these fools in office.

Hey Gary T. I am tired if all of the non self-thinking, Bush blamers. Who was, and has been in conrol of congress since 2002? Who was in control of the banking industry? George Bush?
I agree that these people need help, but they need to help themselves first.

Ohbomma is a left wing socialist disaster,,,what a surprise

What kind of world do we live in when mothers everywhere are wondering “are they going to let us bring our children to the camps?”. Are they going to torture us or use the guillotine? How serious are they about population control? This only happens in other countries…not here.

That sign tells the truth about Obama, even as his brainwashed hordes try to continue to make him look like a good guy.
They shouldn’t sell the sign because people need to know that Obama is the worst president we’ve ever had.

Oh yes , the duopoly that controls our government has worked out well or haven’t you noticed.

Ron Paul States the Obvious

It Is Time To Leave Afghanistan

by Ron Paul

Recently by Ron Paul: Americans Deserve a Transparent Fed
Statement before the Foreign Affairs Committee, United States House of Representatives, December 10, 2009

Mr. Speaker thank you for holding these important hearings on US policy in Afghanistan. I would like to welcome the witnesses, Ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry and General Stanley A. McChrystal, and thank them for appearing before this Committee.

I have serious concerns, however, about the president’s decision to add some 30,000 troops and an as yet undisclosed number of civilian personnel to escalate our Afghan operation. This “surge” will bring US troop levels to approximately those of the Soviets when they occupied Afghanistan with disastrous result back in the 1980s. I fear the US military occupation of Afghanistan may end up similarly unsuccessful.

In late 1986 Soviet armed forces commander, Marshal Sergei Akhromeev, told then-Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, “Military actions in Afghanistan will soon be seven years old. There is no single piece of land in this country which has not been occupied by a Soviet soldier. Nonetheless, the majority of the territory remains in the hands of rebels.” Soon Gorbachev began the Soviet withdrawal from its Afghan misadventure. Thousands were dead on both sides, yet the occupation failed to produce a stable national Afghan government.

Eight years into our own war in Afghanistan the Soviet commander’s words ring eerily familiar. Part of the problem stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation. It is our presence as occupiers that feeds the insurgency. As would be the case if we were invaded and occupied, diverse groups have put aside their disagreements to unify against foreign occupation. Adding more US troops will only assist those who recruit fighters to attack our soldiers and who use the US occupation to convince villages to side with the Taliban.

Proponents of the president’s Afghanistan escalation cite the successful “surge” in Iraq as evidence that this second surge will have similar results. I fear they might be correct about the similar result, but I dispute the success propaganda about Iraq. In fact, the violence in Iraq only temporarily subsided with the completion of the ethnic cleansing of Shi’ites from Sunni neighborhoods and vice versa – and all neighborhoods of Christians. Those Sunni fighters who remained were easily turned against the foreign al-Qaeda presence when offered US money and weapons. We are increasingly seeing this “success” breaking down: sectarian violence is flaring up and this time the various groups are better armed with US-provided weapons. Similarly, the insurgents paid by the US to stop their attacks are increasingly restive now that the Iraqi government is no longer paying bribes on a regular basis. So I am skeptical about reports on the success of the Iraqi surge.

If you like this site, please help keep it going and growing.

Likewise, we are told that we have to “win” in Afghanistan so that al-Qaeda cannot use Afghan territory to plan further attacks against the US. We need to remember that the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001 was, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, largely planned in the United States (and Germany) by terrorists who were in our country legally. According to the logic of those who endorse military action against Afghanistan because al-Qaeda was physically present, one could argue in favor of US airstrikes against several US states and Germany! It makes no sense. The Taliban allowed al-Qaeda to remain in Afghanistan because both had been engaged, with US assistance, in the insurgency against the Soviet occupation.

Nevertheless, the president’s National Security Advisor, Gen. James Jones, USMC (Ret.), said in a recent interview that less than 100 al-Qaeda remain in Afghanistan and that the chance they would reconstitute a significant presence there was slim. Are we to believe that 30,000 more troops are needed to defeat 100 al-Qaeda fighters? I fear that there will be increasing pressure for the US to invade Pakistan, to where many Taliban and al-Qaeda have escaped. Already CIA drone attacks on Pakistan have destabilized that country and have killed scores of innocents, producing strong anti-American feelings and calls for revenge. I do not see how that contributes to our national security.

The president’s top advisor for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, said recently, “I would say this about defining success in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In the simplest sense, the Supreme Court test for another issue, we’ll know it when we see it.” That does not inspire much confidence.

Supporters of this surge argue that we must train an Afghan national army to take over and strengthen the rule and authority of Kabul. But experts have noted that the ranks of the Afghan national army are increasingly being filled by the Tajik minority at the expense of the Pashtun plurality. US diplomat Matthew Hoh, who resigned as Senior Civilian Representative for the U.S. Government in Zabul Province, noted in his resignation letter that he “fail[s] to see the value or the worth in continued U.S. casualties or expenditures of resources in support of the Afghan government in what is, truly, a 35-year-old civil war.” Mr. Hoh went on to write that “[L]ike the Soviets, we continue to secure and bolster a failing state, while encouraging an ideology and system of government unknown and unwanted by [the Afghan] people.”

I have always opposed nation-building as unconstitutional and ineffective. Afghanistan is no different. Without a real strategy in Afghanistan, without a vision of what victory will look like, we are left with the empty rhetoric of the last administration that “when the Afghan people stand up, the US will stand down.” I am afraid the only solution to the Afghanistan quagmire is a rapid and complete US withdrawal from that country and the region. We cannot afford to maintain this empire and our occupation of these foreign lands is not making us any safer. It is time to leave Afghanistan.

Did anyone notice the Yahoo article about the wild mustang? (just a few days ago-Cheryl Crow is protesting…) Last year the Federal government spent $36 million to feed those horses. This year the anticipate spending $50 million. Yes, folks-50 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!
Also in Michigan, our sate with one of the highest unemployment rate of 15.2% spent a fair bit on signs announcing our Stimulus $$ at work. O.K. people tell me where our financial priorities lay-I’m confused.
And people are condemning this man for making the Obamaville sign . We don’t know that he hasn’t contributed.

An Alternative to Capitalism (which will end homelessness)

The following link, takes you to a “utopian” article, entitled “Home of the Brave?” which I wrote and appeared in the Athenaeum Library of Philosophy:

http://evans-experientialism.freewebspace.com/steinsvold.htm

John Steinsvold

The blame lies with all of US. There are only TWO reasons to go to the polls and vote in a constitutional, democratic republic. The dishonorable citizen votes to secure a slice of pie baked by another citizen. The honorable citizen votes to remove legislators who have violated their oath of office by ignoring (or worst yet promoting) legislation that attacks the liberty of ANY other citizen.

This goes far beyond the snarky signs, folks in tents, or even presidential malfeasance. We are witnessing the product of voter ignorance, apathy and a willingness to allow legislated attacks upon liberty . . . as long as it wasn’t OUR liberty. Abandonment of the prime directives crafted by our founding fathers is chipping away at the very foundations of this, the grandest experiment in the history of human kind.

if they would have given every man,woman, and child $1 million intead of the wasted company bail outs. not only would it have been cheaper. but it would have saved the economy because it would have been put back into the banks and other bailed companys.

To those who say it should be Bushville and not Obamaville, EVERY senator signed the DAMN STIMULAS PACKAGE! Except this time Obama didn’t mark “Present.”

This guy may have only donated the sign but the attention he got from it is working to help these folks out. We may be next now that my husband lost his job 3 weeks ago. Obama is a fraud!

PS Oh yeah, sure makes me feel “warm and cozy” knowing our President is living it up in Dopenhagen when our countrymen and women are struggling to keep their homes and livlihood. He sure has his priorities straight…after all when you are trying to destroy this country he is by all means doing the right thing by undermining our sovereignty. Thumbs up Prez!

Shovelhead,
This just in, Republicans had congress and the Pres. from 2002-2006, during the bubble blowup.

Gary T. displays the phenomenal ignorance and sad desperation of the remaining few still trying to blame Bush for everything. Sadly, this country is so far beyond the last president and now Obama must own up to his long chain of disastrous mistakes.

John Steinsvold: Your article begins with “Economists concede that economics is an inexact science” . . . you’ve shot yourself in the foot with the very first sentence.

Economics is not a science, it’s a tool. Economics is the study of scarce resources for which there are multiple uses. Your own household is a capitalist venture. You’ve “invested” the work-product of your time, talents and resources to to improve upon your ability to create a surplus. In other words, if you want a new car next year, a bigger house, or an upgrade of your eating habits, your activities as a productive citizen must become more efficient. If you do not generate a surplus, then the quality and quantity of your life’s experiences cannot grow.

If you invest your present income wisely and you strive for greater achievement through learning, hard work and a willingness to trade your own time, talent and resources for the time, talent and resources of others, then it is unlikely that you will join folks in the tent city.

If you are an honorable citizen, then you ARE a capitalist. If you are a successful capitalist, then you will use the tools of economics to make good decisions about where to best invest the product of your labors to maximize your own surplus. Writing a paper that mis-represents both economics and capitalism while ignoring the duties legislators in a democratic republic does not demonstrate an understanding of how this country came to greatness . . . nor how it will fall at the hands of its own ignorant, helpless citizens. Shame on you sir.

..speaking of guillotines/ It may not be a question of if, but when.

NEXT, THE GUILLOTINES
lib_300×250.gif

David Galland, from Casey Research, has it right. There is a coming conflict between the haves and have nots. It will not end well.

A poll is to the politician as a cheat sheet is to the lazy student. With minimal expenditure of time and effort, a poll allows the professional politico to sample the public psyche and adjust the sails in order to use the prevailing winds to better advantage.

President Clinton, it has been observed, was a master of polls. His skill is evident in his end-of-term approval ratings, at close to 65% favorable, the best in modern history.

George II offers a study in contrast, stubbornly insisting as he did on sticking with his somewhat awkward principles. Public sentiment be damned. And so it came to pass that his end-of-term approval rating limped in below 30%, worse even than the ignominious Jimmy Carter. In fact, only Richard “Tricky Dicky” Nixon left office with a worse rating.

I mention this because of a news story out today on a Bloomberg poll that says a solid majority of Americans “Want Government to Spend for Jobs, Send Bill to Rich,” as the headline writer succinctly summed it up.

In the poll, 63% thought the federal government should “cut income taxes across the board to spur economic growth.” Nice to hear.

But there seemed to be a disconnect with the whole “across the board” thing when it came to the question of whether the government should “Raise income tax on the wealthy – individuals making $500,000 or more and households making $1 million or more.” An idea that 66% concurred with.

The question that garnered the highest support among the poll takers: 88% of those polled agreed that middle-class Americans “will have to make sacrifices.”

Yet, 74% thought the idea of raising taxes “on the middle class as well as the wealthy” was a bad idea.

Were you a member of the political class, what should one make of all of this?

Simply, while everyone talks a good game when it comes to shared sacrifices and all that, when it comes to taxing, the only politically safe move is to raise taxes on the rich.

The principle, it seems, is that the high-income earners deserve to be shorn of more of their income is because they can afford it. Or, as K. Marx put it, “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.”

This is, of course, no new concept; it’s the fallback of every bankrupt government. And so, as we have warned in the past, success taxes are headed toward 65% and probably more. “Hooray!” 66% cheer. Stick it to the competent money makers, good and hard.

The problem is that even the rich, most of whom make their money by starting and building businesses, have feelings (as hard as that is to believe). And a person who makes a million but keeps only $350,000 – which, thanks to the government’s steady policy of inflation, isn’t what it used to be – is going to have serious thoughts about changing their behavior. Maybe not working quite so hard, or retiring early. Or becoming less materialistic and following the path of Buddha.

Many will consider relocating to whatever passes as their personal version of Galt’s Gulch outside of the U.S. While that may only save a minimum of taxes (for the permanently indentured U.S. citizen), the world is full of places where the cost of living is so much cheaper that the formerly productive can live out their lives as minor royalty. And do so while retaining the dignity of a free person and not a much maligned and underappreciated tax slave of a bloated state.

The Laffer Curve, the theory that taxes can be raised by only so much before the heavily taxed make personal decisions that result in tax receipts falling to pre-hike levels, has been confirmed by history.

Yet, in the current milieu, that theory is ignored in favor of a populist scramble to grab at any politically acceptable revenue source in order to maintain some semblance of what has come to be thought of as American dream.

And understandably so. No one wants to be out of a job or have a hard time finding a new one. To be insecure in your accommodations would be horrible, and doubly so with a house full of kids.

Thus, the idea of using the coercive power of government – give it up or else – to fund help programs for the many by lifting cash from the pockets of the few, is only to be expected. In fact, it would run completely contrary to human nature for a politically powerful group of individuals, when running into trouble, to fail to help themselves at the expense of a smaller and politically weak group of people. For them to put principles over need is, I think, unheard of in the annals of history.

Why, it would be as if Tamerlane’s horde decided to stop at the gates of Baghdad, then one of the world’s wealthiest cities, because it would be unfair to strip that city’s residents of their hard-earned gold (and, just for fun, their heads).

So, you have two distinct groups, each of which is made up of Americans with all the rights of citizenship, but with entirely different needs and concerns.

The larger of the groups, the one with the power of the voting booth and therefore control over the politicians’ strings, is struggling under one of the most brutal recessions this country has seen in almost 100 years. They want relief from daily worries, job security, a decent wage, a basic level of health care, and a roof over their head at the end of the workday.

The smaller of the groups – the businesspeople and, yes, the fortunate sons who came to their money the easy way – have different concerns. For many, their fears revolve around losing the wealth they have to inflation, to taxes, to unsteady investment markets (and the occasional Madoff), to lawsuits, and outright confiscation. As one retired executive said in a call I was on not so long ago, “We need to talk, because for the first time in a long time, we are facing a situation where we might not be rich guys anymore.” He wasn’t being flippant.

Viewed dispassionately, it’s easy for any thinking person to understand and appreciate how deeply felt the concerns of these distinct groups are. But these things are rarely reflected on dispassionately. Rather, they are addressed in the overheated rhetoric of the theater of talk radio and political grandstanding.

How does society – American society in particular – address this schism? In the ideal world, it is by reaching a compromise. Starting with the masses accepting that the quest for success needs to be celebrated and supported at every turn. Because, after all, in a classless society, the next big winner can be virtually anyone.

Rather than crippling our businesses with taxes, assessments, and more, they should be viewed as a society’s champions; hard-working, risk-taking pioneers whose success benefits everyone through more jobs and more money flowing into the U.S. from other, less competitive nations.

In return, because it is very much in their self-interest, the successful should be encouraged by social pressure to remember that every good business requires a solid platform from which to operate, and so they should act as good corporate citizens or risk bad press, boycotts, disinvestment, and other signs of societal displeasure, the result of which will be a direct hit to the bottom line.

(Hint: If you received billions in public funds as an emergency bailout – which shouldn’t have happened – handing out billions in bonuses won’t win you a lot of fans.)

The real problems occur when the rules under which society operates become wiggly. When laws and regulations regarding private property become makeshift and unpredictable – subject to political, which is to say, populist, whims, then the foundation of a functioning society begins to crumble. The next thing you know, out come the guillotines. And once that happens, history has shown, the head chopping doesn’t stop with the fat cats. Today’s rich make over $500,000, but tomorrow’s will be those who make over $250,000. Then it will be the doctors and other professionals deemed to be elitists deserving of receiving comeuppance.

Meanwhile, in the shadows lurk the politicians and the media, both of which have long histories of benefitting by playing the haves and the have-nots against each other.

Now, much of what I just wrote about the need for the two groups to reach a compromise could correctly be categorized as armchair philosophizing — wishful thinking that America will remember its roots before it’s too late. But I don’t think that’s how things are going to shake out.

Instead, I see the economic problems now confronting this country, and the world, as having grown so large that they will not be resolved without a serious internal conflict. I think the politicians will actively manipulate the natural concerns of the masses about today’s economy in such a way to be assured that any ire isn’t directed at them, but rather at the “haves.” And, the politicians will look to curry favor and reduce flak over the government’s own fiscal improbity by raising taxes on the efficient money makers to the fullest extent possible.

Of course, urging intersocietal conflict versus cooperation is playing with fire. And it’s bad economics. But they’ll do it anyway because they know it works (at least for a time.)

No one should be surprised, therefore, when the efficient money makers act in a manner consistent with their own personal needs and concerns, by increasingly making decisions that reduce their contribution to the society that mistreat them. Going so far, even, as voting with their feet.

That will, of course, trigger new regulations designed to make that exodus harder and, in time, near impossible. But it will prove largely ineffective: we humans are remarkably good at taking care of ourselves.

The tragic thing is that this is all so unnecessary. The American experiment of 1776 and the nation’s unprecedented subsequent success should have provided an indelible lesson for future generations to learn from and memorize. But over the years the cultural memory has faded, and the one individualist American – like the stalwart Roman farmer before them – has become increasingly passive as the political rent-seekers trampled on the nation’s egalitarianism, discarded its sound money, and debased its fair and predictable judiciary to the point that even confiscating private homes in order to build hotel/office complexes was allowed to stand.

Simply, the affairs of the citizens of this nation are no longer under their own control, but are rather subject to mob rule.

In the final analysis, we will each act according to what we perceive to be our best interest. I wouldn’t be complacent at this point about deciding just what your best interest is… and acting accordingly.

I’m not.

Anyone who wants to blame the current economy on Bush can keep living in the same dreamland that Obama lives in. Clinton and Greenspan caused the housing crisis. Bush warned congress about it (a liberal congress) and they didn’t heed his warnings. In fact, Obama is on record as strongly opposing reform of the lending policies. Imagine that, it’s a wonder what 4 years can do.

It’s Obamaville because he is one of the most corrupt presidents we’ve ever had. Handouts are going to everyone who supported him and he’s seeking to destroy anyone who didn’t. Usually after an economic collapse like the one we experienced, the recovery comes swift and powerful. However, Obama’s policies has limited the recovery and even brought new worries of a “double dip” recession where we recover a little bit and then drop further. Vote for change in 2010 and 2012, people, cause we won’t have much of a country left if the spending and lies continue.

To the people complaining about the sign not saying “Bushville” since the downturn occurred “on his watch”:

I will lend you they keys to the bus to run him over right after I get done using it on Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

Obama has been in office since January of this year. January! He’s far from perfect, but one man has not caused the mess we’re in. Banks, liberal lending, and lack of accountability – personal, corporate, and governmental – got us where we are.

The last time we had a balanced budget was during the Clinton Administration. Prior to that, it was Nixon. No one’s hands are clean in this mess.

You can keep watching mind-numbing cable “news” and play your blame games, but Obama is neither the Great Sinner not the Great Saint.

So, a sign speaks the TRUTH and people get upset? Oh, I know, you can’t say anything not politically correct?

The whole political system is corrupt right down to the local government! It is going to get worse and you people with your nose stuck in the air along with the so-called elite, will some day have a very rude reality check and I hope you enjoy it!

THIS IS NO JOKE. All these libtards need is an attack on our soil that they can call a national emergency and you ALL will be rounded up and shipped to one of the HUNDREDS of FEMA camps that are being constructed RIGHT NOW to pen you up and keep you from revolting againgst the machine called OBAMUNISM. If they don’t get a national emergency to implement their radical agenda I think they will create one, setting it up to start with near economic disaster.

They call it keeping you safe – we call it forced government oversight and control of your every action, dollar, thought and move. Screw the tyrannical bastards – look back at the Reichstag fire – the Nazi’s secretively destroyed the one and only outspoken defender of peoples freedoms and rights, blamed it on Russia, and made everyone so damn scared they were rounded up like stupid cattle at the slaughter house. Don’t believe ANYTHING you hear from the mainstream media – they are on the Obama hook and can’t go back now as they keep preaching hope and change – what a bunch of garbage for Americans to absorb. If I were at Fox I would buy extra insurance … you never know when Rahm ‘da fish is going to have you whacked! When crack wipes like Pelosi start calling people Nazi’s and so on you know they are getting desperate – that doesn’t change their objective.

This started in the 1980’s with Reagan and the pursuit of Reaganomics by his predecessors. Get a clue folks. Pick up a books sometime and read. Some of the stuff on this comment board is such superficial drivel.

President Hosts Conference on Minority Homeownership

President George W. Bush hosted the White House Conference on Minority Homeownership to discuss public and private sector efforts to address the homeownership gap and increase the number of minority homeowners in America.

In June, President Bush announced the national goal of increasing the number of minority homeowners by at least 5.5 million by the end of this decade. Meeting the President’s goal will not only help more Americans enjoy the benefits of owning their own homes it will also help strengthen America’s economy. According to a study released today by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, meeting the President’s goal will involve $256 billion in economic activity in the form of construction and remodeling jobs, spending on household goods, and other benefits.

Background on Today’s Presidential Action

While the overall homeownership rate has reached an all-time high of nearly 68 percent, recent statistics point to a homeownership gap. The second quarter 2002 Census data show that non-Hispanic whites have a 74.3% homeownership rate, while African-Americans have a 48% rate, Hispanics a 47.6% rate; and Asian-Americans and other races a 53.7% homeownership rate.

In June, President Bush announced an aggressive homeownership agenda to dismantle barriers to homeownership by providing down payment assistance, increasing the supply of affordable homes, increasing support for self-help homeownership programs, and simplifying the homebuying process and increasing education. The President also issued “America’s Homeownership Challenge” to the real estate and mortgage finance industries to join in his effort to increase the number of minority homeowners by taking concrete steps to tear down the barriers to homeownership that face minority families.

The Bush Administration is working to increase homeownership among minority Americans through a number of new and expanded initiatives, as well as through ongoing programs administered by HUD and other federal departments, including:

Providing Downpayment Assistance. The single biggest barrier to homeownership is accumulating funds for a downpayment. The President has proposed $200 million annually for the American Dream Downpayment Fund to help roughly 40,000 families a year with their downpayment and closing costs. In addition, the Administration has proposed the use of Section 8 funding to assist with downpayments, and provides downpayment assistance to low-income and minority homebuyers through the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund at the Department of Treasury.

Increasing the Supply of Affordable Homes. The President wants to dramatically increase the supply of homes available to low and moderate income families. The President has proposed the Single-Family Affordable Housing Tax Credit, which will provide approximately $2.4 billion to encourage the production of 200,000 affordable homes for sale to low and moderate income families.

Increasing Support for Self-Help Homeownership Programs. The President’s budget triples funding for organizations like Habitat for Humanity that help families help themselves become homeowners through ’sweat equity’ and volunteerism in their communities.

Sadly, Obama doesn’t CARE about the folks involved. He’s just happy to see a place with his NAME on it…

If it were called Bushville the story never would’ve made it to bbart and d.r.udge, propagandiists that they are.

How non-surprising that the broadcast chose to show ONLY those opposed to the sign. Betcha MOST supported the sign – - but we have come to expect bias and slant from the media. Thank Heaven for Fox News!!

LOL Bushville? I think not. Where is all this hope and change you can believe in. Where is all this promise that unemployment, if you bought into obama’s stimulus plan, pass it now or else…. would stay below 8% and it is 10% +, and if you count the ones who have given up all together, its near 17%. This is obama’s mess. There comes a time when you and obama can no longer blame anyone but yourselves. obama has done nothing but lie and break promises. I will bring all the troops home, yet he’s sending more. I will have the most transparent administration in history… yet they exclude all the republicans, and meet behind closed doors, no cameras, no republicans, after midnight on friday and saturday nights, how’s that for transparency.

Obamaville is indicative of just what obama and his administgration is doing to real people in real cities across America, and he doesn’t want anyone to see it, or recognize it, because then he would have to take responsibility for it.

obama said we needed to pass that last stimulus, or else…… now you can see how that hope and change is really working. obama has no inkling of how to run this government or wht economics are. How manyh of you can keep spending more money than you have in your bank, and not at some point go to jail for writing checks for money you do not have? You cannot spend your way out of a depression. I can’t wait for all those morons to start getting voted out next year. Most everyone who voted for him will not do so again. They just got caught up in the moment. obama…Liar-In-Chief.

And about donating the money of the sign to those people… it would do more good, to leave the sign there and get more donations from more people from the recognition of the sign, than a one time donation and nothing coming in after… another economics lesson for ya.

“Economists agree, a 4.5 percent rate of GDP growth would make this quarter the strongest in almost four years. Economists surveyed earlier this month projected a 3 percent pace of expansion from October through December, according to the median estimate.

GDP growth was positive last quarter and it’ll be positive this quarter and next. I guess good news for America is bad news for republicans.

All of you who blame this on President Bush do not understand the Constitution or this government. The congress controls the funding and fiscal policies. The president only offers his budget, which is then altered by congress (specifically the House of Reps). This economic recession was the fault of a Democratic Congress. They are the ones who set the failed policies in the housing market who lead the way. Blame Chris Dodd and Barney Frank who led the way…

Do the research, don’t listen to the mass media alone. Understand the Constitution!

So how much did we go into debt for to kill a million+ Iraqis? This war isn’t free, is it?

How many of you sent your money out of the country to buy foreign products? cyclical economics my ass. We allowed for our industry to shift to foreign soil and the jobs went with it, then we allowed american corporations the freedom to hire H-1B visa’d instead of paying a fair wage to an american. HA! HA! we are our own biggest dumbass.

Nothing can account for the greed and stupidity of the undereducated american people, we did this to ourselves.

At least the mexicans have a steady stream of income from the americans paying them cash.

Look around at your own backyard….how did you help create this mess? Idiots.

The first poster Gary T thinks it’s Bush’ fault.

Gary T. do you realize Obama is spending money we don’t have because of dopes like you who thinks he is doing everything by the books.

Gary T. – YOU LIKE OBAMA ARE THE ENEMY OF AMERICA!

lay off the kool-aid, whydoncha’

Presidents don’t control the Economy, Congress does.
Congress writes the rules that the economy operates under.
Obama controls the executive branch.
Obama has no more control then Bush had, with two exceptions.
Bush didn’t have his party in control of congress during his time in office.
Bush wasn’t given 700 billion dollars at the start of his presidency to spend as he saw fit.
When Obama is gone and the bridges and roads are following apart remember that 700 billion dollars that was given to Obama friends like Accorn.

Bush inherited Clintons recession, 9/11, and the dot com bust. He instituted tax cuts (somehow with a democrat house) and had inflation in check, less than 5% unemployement, and consistent growth quarter to quarter.
Obama and dems talked down the economy for 8 years and with the help of the media blew it out of proportion. He then passed TARP, Stimilus (pork) and paid back his union friends. Now he is stealing from generations in the future to buy the next election. Oh – 10% unemployeement – dont forget that.
Tax cuts promote jobs and increase to federal revenue. Stimulus bills promote cronies. Obama is a Chicago style rookie and making rookie mistakes. Keep voting present, and picking up those nice little nobels for doing nothing.

Soon the whole U.S. will be Obamaland for most of the people. The best way to take over is to bring the country down and then throw the folks a bone. This is exactly what Obama is doing. Stop blaming Bush. Will you people ever give up. This is now Obama’s economy and he is doing nothing but trying to enlarge his government and take over more and more. He is forcing the middle class out of work to destroy us, and when he gets done, all of you stupid folks that still think Obama is going to give you free stuff, free healthcare and so on and on maybe when you finally open your eyes it will be too late.

I am a life long Democrat. This is the worst president we have ever had. Our party is in serious trouble.

The Fundamental Transformation of America

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians or whatever, we all need to pull together. We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish.

Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Our biggest threat is not China , Russia , or Iran ; no, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC.

people said it didn’t matter.

When he designed plans to take over the health care system and put it under government control,

people said it didn’t matter.

When he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States

through Cap and Trade,

people said it didn’t matter.

When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State ,

people finally woke up……… but it was too late.

Any one of these things, in and of themselves does not really matter. But…. when you add them up one by one you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that our Obama is determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this, do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ? Personally, I like happy endings.

If you are an Obama Supporter, please do not be angry with me because I think your president is a socialist. There are too many facts supporting this. If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don’t just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. I did. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and what have you, we all need to pull together. We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish. If you are a religious person, pray for our nation.

Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Don’t rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies. Newspapers are a dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth? Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against. There must be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them. If they lie, he should call them out on it but he doesn’t. Please, find the truth, it will set you free.

Our biggest enemy is not China , Russia , or Iran ; no, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC .

Term Limits, Term Limits, Term Limits, Term Limits.

AS SOON AS THIS GOD DAMMING AMERICA ! HATE EVIL WHITES ! TERRORIST LOVER BECAME PRESIDENT . I GOT MY MONEY OUT OF THE BANK ! WHO WOULD START A BUSSINESS WITH HIM AROUND ?

Funny how they are not asking for jobs, just free stuff. I hope survival of the fittest takes care of them.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

Yeah, sure, Marcus. I’m sure everybody buys the hilarious notion that Marxist economic policies are superior to free market principles. Fortunately, the current incompetent, radical ideologue, community organizer boob in the White House is reminding the entire world which concept is vastly superior.

The literature you oughta pick up is called “the Constitution” — it’s about freedom, liberty and limited government. Pick up a copy and browse through it. In fact, MAObama would do well to read it too, rather than Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky.

During the Nixon years there was a Boondocking town in Arizona and as I recall they named it Nixonville and the streets were named after Tricia and Julie and the Cabinet….

Sounds like a good idea .. Maybe we could have Michelle Main St. in Obamaville.

Gary T.: You are wrong and correct. Mostly wrong.
Lets start with the economy… The deregulation of the mortgage industry was done in 1998 under the CLINTON administration not under BUSH. For the first six years of the Bush administration, the Senate committee on Commerce and Finance (who oversees lending practices) did a fair job of monitoring and controlling the likes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It wasn’t until the dems took over in 06 that the committee (now chaired by Barny Frank and composed completely of Democrats) began letting Fannie and Freddie run amuck. Frank, Maxine Watters, Chris Dodd and others all took 6 figure contributions from PACS representing the likes of Fannie and Freddie and even when 8 senate republicans addressed the committee in 2007 about arising problems, the Dems basically told them to sit down and shut up.. so this “economic crisis” is not the fault of BUSH.. but rather the Democrats who padded their pockets while the industry collapsed.

Second.. Bush did not inherit a surplus.. the deficit was 5.1 trillion at the end of the Clinton administration. Clinton balanced 2 ANNUAL budgets.. (which means that the government got more tax money than they spent THAT YEAR). It does not mean that there was a budget surplus.. If you do not understand the difference between an annual budget and the national debt, perhaps you should not be commenting.
Here’s a quick rundown for you:

Deficit at the beginning of the Clinton Administration – 3.8 trillion

At the end of the Clinton administration – 5.1 trillion

At the end of the Bush administration –
9.5 trillion

After eight MONTHS of the Obama administration – 12 trillion

Current estimates for the end of Obama’s first term – 18 to 20 trillion.

By the way, Obama announced today that unemployment will likely stay above 10% for a year or more (his words)..

How’s that change working for ya??

dread asked “How many of you sent your money out of the country to buy foreign products?”

Right here, dread.

Where the big, corrupt unions are involved, I will continue to go overseas to buy my products. I won’t touch a car that has any involvement with the UAW. The unions are nothing more than an arm of the corrupt Democrat party and they are a bigger danger to this country than China.

That’s right — my money will go to a foreign product before it supports organizations that actively seek to undermine American values, that constantly pick the pockets of the taxpayer and, above all, supports a party that is radical, unAmerican, out of control and constantly working to destroy all that is good about this country.

Gary T, you’re clueless.

This is clearly Obama’s economy, exasperated by one bad decision after another.

Before long there will be Obamaville tent cities all over this nation.

Those S.O.B.’s complaining that the sign is disgusting wouldn’t give their own mother a crust of bread if she was starving. We reap what we sow.

Marcus:

Go drool before your velvet Obama picture.

Alright this sign is total propaganda by someone on the right to create hooverville hysteria… (who paid for this nice sign?) I find it comical that you same folks who now think this is all Obama’s fault, the economic situation, and that it has nothing to do with Bush, because Obama has been on the Job for 10 months and some change, you same folks refused to hold Bush responsible for anything on 9/11, instead saying it was all Clinton’s fault, Bush was in office for 8 or 9 months at that point, it was his country he owned it… how come the right refused to accept any repsonsibility for failures on 9/11, which later investigatons tied to both Bush and Clinton (Which is the same thing going on with the economy, alot of this mess is still Bush’s mess but Obama’s is owning it more and more every week…) Hold the mirror up and hold yourselves to the same standards.. and to who ever paid for this sign, (cause I know that a bunch of homeless people did not pay for this high quality sign), instead of trying to score cheap political points and try to play election politics with serious issues, how bout you spend the money that went to that sign on the folks in the camp…?

One of the reasons we’re in the mess we’re in, with debt going higher and higher, is that too many people want something for free. Too many people are willing to vote for the person who offers the most for “free.” Socialists are willing to promise the “free” stuff, knowing the result will be more power for them and less personal control of our own liberties. A big way to put the country back on track is to just say no to the “free” stuff and work for what you need or want. Nothing is free, and the government isn’t giving money or anything else out for free. The government is buying us up.

Gary is just a duped dufuss. SOme caveman in 100,000 BC did some bad stuff. Killed people and what not. The caveman was a leader who ruined the economy. Lets blame the caveman. Yea. Its not Obamas fault. The caveman that killed a bunch of other cavemen 100,000 years ago is to blame. The world has been bad ever since.

Gary T,
you useless piece of Democrat crap! If you have any brain matter left, you would know that during the last two years of Bush’s presidency who was in control of the congress!! Its your Democrat Party and Nancy Pelosi that caused this in the first place! Stop freakin blaming Bush and get a life!

It’s easy to blame the guy who is/was in the oval office for everything that we think is wrong. Bush’s main prob was that he tried governing in Washington the same way he did in Texas, where the *real* power is in the office of the Lt. Gon, not the Gov. He kept getting his head handed to him from the first year. (FE, letting Kennedy and his ilk write the education bill and then blame him (Bush) because it’s what the Dem’s do, for Heaven’s sake. The passage of the community development act was a really bad idea, because it pressured loaning institutions to be more “fair” and issue more loans to minorities, and when carry the risk of default on bad loans, AKA non-performing assets. Any banker worth his salt knows when he has a bunch of risky loans on his books. Easy way out? Bundle the loans up and sell them to someone who is willing to shoulder the extra risk. Make a small profit safely, rather than carry those dogs on your balance sheet. A bad loan is a bad loan. This was a minority housing bubble just waiting to implode. It did and those who held the loans got into fiscal trouble. Bush should have known this was coming (it seems he did) but was powerless to stop it. The B. Franks and the C. Dodds got their way, they bubble was built and everybody wants to burn GWB rather than admit the Community Reinvestment Act was a really bad piece of legislation. Believe me, if I was holding some of those junk loans, I’d try to dump them off to some bigger fool, too. These were junk mortgages, just as risky as junk bonds. And who gets to pay off the debt for this bad decision? As always, the taxpayers. Congrats Barney and Chris! You got what you wanted, bought some votes and you can keep blaming Bush for your fiscal incompetence. Feh!

The collapsing economy is the fault of BOTH republicans and democrats. The roots lie in the deficit spending started over 50 years ago. Add to that the fact people vote themselves money. Look at how many past elections were all about what the government would give people. Neither party has shown any responsibility or leadership. Change through the 2 party system is impossible. What will we have to do to save what’s left of our country?

b:

Another truther, huh. If you claim Bush is responsible for 9/11, then live with the fact that your Man-Child is the cause of the effing mess we’re in.

Is Bush pushing for all these agenda items WE DON’T NEED like the takeover of 1/5th of economy for EXPENSIVE, RATIONED HEALTHCARE THAT WON’T COVER EVERYBODY?

Is Bush responsible for the Porkulus I and Omnibus bills your Wonder Boy signed onto, and ready to sign onto Porkulus II?

Is Bush responsible for a bunch of nutjobs like yourself that think Algore is smart and that by making him richer the earth will be normal again?

You are an idiot and are responsible for voting in this imposter whose only goal is to destroy this country.

When you get that through your pea-brain only then will you realize AMERICA IS SCREWED!

Obama was a senator when they voted for spending during the latter part of the Bush years. obama worshippers somehow seem to forget this inconvenient fact when they blame the financial mess on Bush.

when the whip comes down!
And it will . Don’t expect George W. Obama to be there with a solution to your hunger pangs.His work is done and he will have been paid in full.
Enjoy your fake wrestling while it lasts.

http://theburningplatform.com/economy/conduits

I don’t want to ignore here the most important Conduit of all, the Conduit of MONEY, which is the intermediary in transmitting value from one place to another. This was the FIRST conduit which became Monopoly controlled, and the same Banking Families have been in control of this conduit since its inception in the colonial era on this go round. About everyone here now knows that the Money produced by the Fed isn’t “our money”, it belongs to the Banks who produce it, and these banks are held Privately for Profit. Gold as Money while it as possible to use it was a direct challenge to the Private control of money, and so since Private money has been used, Gold has been taken out of circulation and sequestered away in vaults. Its never going to come out of those vaults in any great quantity, and even if it did there isn’t enough to go round anymore, so it doesn’t present the danger it once did to private money distributed by the Banksters. What presents a danger to the Banksters now is that they are rendering their own money quite worthless, with nothing to really replace it. Just as there is nothing really to replace Oil to run the transportation system either.

All of these conduits are failing in Cascade Fashion now, from the Money to the Shipping industry to the Electric Grid and eventually here to the Communications grid. The civilization that grew up around these conduits is wholly dependent on them, and cannot survive without them. This is not to say individual people and communities cannot survive without them, just the civilization organization cannot. Those who will survive are those who are most able to live without these things, but that is a remarkably small segment of the population of the developed world. Those who built and control this system are the ones MOST dependent on it for maintaining their control. Once that is lost, so also will the power they have be lost. Its all dependent on maintaining control over conduits which will no longer exist as the Oil becomes ever more scarce.

Prime ACORN ground! Bus them to the voting booth to vote for democrats, drive them back and push’em out

Adam Smythe

Absolutely there is some corruption in the unions, but they don’t hold a candle to the greed and inhuman treatment that is allowed by attributing virtual slave labor to “freemarket economics”. Sure you can quit the job but that doesn’t pay the bills does it?

When faced with increasing your personal profit vs. paying your employees a fair livable wage, all to often we see the employee loose. But we all can’t be business owners can we? Or is that was the mexican labor force is for? Hola amigo.

Sure you can buy anything you want from wherever you want, you are after all an american and have the right to be willfully stupid as anyone else does. Welcome to america. You however MUST be held accountable for your decisions. You chose to send your money out of the country, fine, you are complicit in this economic turn, by the way, how much money was borrowed from China before Obama bowed so deeply to Hu Jintao?

Take a good hard look at yourself while you ignorantly blame unions for the downfall of the american economy.

George Bush and the REPUBLICAN PARTY is to be blame for the economic mess
President Obama has inherited. It takes money to clean up this mess and it takes time.

Why you want to say this mess up country is Obama’s fault is beyond me.

If you dodo in your pants and someone is helping to clean you up. Your mess up ass is still yours. You are the one who mess up.

mess-up = republican
building-up = President obama and the democrats

Every household stock list:
Many guns and a huge stockpile of ammo, enough food and water to last 18 months. Its coming folks, like it or not.

the sign should be called Bushville, since it was Bush’s Wall Street deregulations that caused the home industry collapse.

LMAO!!! I love it! So VERY VERY TRUE!!! Unemployment is the highest it has been in YEARS! Obama has been in office for over a year now – you can’t keep blaming America’s problem on the Bush Administration…..anyone who takes over a new job is expected to get the hang of it and make improvements LONG before a year if up…or face being FIRED!

IMPEACH OBAMA!!!

All you Obama hatrs are just jealos of what we gonna get. The presidint is for the people an he gonna give us everything that we want. I only hope he do it soon i want a classie ride an a nice apartmnt now.

As part of Obama change we must also surrender our Liberty. Goverment will force us to buy health care or go to jail? Ahhh but if we all decide to live in tents we will get free health care.

While President Bush did create debt, 2 different times he gave money back to American Citizans through a stimulus package. Obama has created a debt surpassing all presidents before him, we are paying 500 million dollars a day just in interest.
We can sit and point fingers all day long and not solve a thing or we can stand together as Americans and get those criminals out of office and make sure they never can hold a public office again.
I would not give Obama the credit even for a tent city even if it is a slap in the face to him.
Since he took office there have been many tent cities popping up around the United States sadly enough.
We need to focus on solving the problem and stop point fingers.

We need to change the House and Senate in 2010,and we need to make sure the scoundrels are not controlling the counting in any state. By electing middle of the political spectrum officials in both parties the excesses of the left or right can be re- legislated by thinking individuals. As soon as the 2010 election is completed; we need to continue get out the voters who are moderate and elect moderates of both parties. The election of moderates of both parties should stop the constant bitter clash of those to the right and those to the left. We surely need to elect a different president.It is unfortunate that our constitution has no recall feature if it did this president would be and ex-president.

Anothr thing you hatrs dont know, Obama is goin to be presidint for his whol life. i know that for a factt

Hattie, you are an imbecile.

Recall the most intellegent president you have ever had?
Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!

Although I’m a person who believes in the mental superiority of certain races, I have learned through experimentation that the best way to slam those of the inferior races is not to use racial arguments, but rather, political or economic arguments. The means justifies the end, which is to purge America of inferior races, particularly those in leadership positions. Please join me in slamming these people without using race as an argument.

While President Bush did create debt, 2 different times he gave money back to American Citizans through a stimulus package. Obama has created a debt surpassing all presidents before him, we are paying 500 million dollars a day just in interest. Obama has not given any money back to the American people. He has helped the arts, he has sent money to communities who have not asked for it. He has sent money to repay those that helped buy him that election. He send $25.00 a week through unemployment checks to those who are collecting unemployment. However….
We can sit and point fingers all day long and not solve a thing or we can stand together as Americans and get those criminals out of office and make sure they never can hold a public office again.

The Bush Derangement Syndrome is pathetic – a blatant example of how stupid one has to have been to vote for our current traitor in chief. Obama hasn’t been in office a year yet, and he quadrupled the national debt, not to mention, has played more golf and taken more vacation time in 9 months than Bush did in his entire last term

This is exactly what is going on. Everyone blames President Bush because this president lies to the American people. Everyone blames President Bush because this president is a failure….you need to really realize who is in office….A FAILURE, A LIAR, A DISGRACE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, A BOWER TO DIGNATARIES WHO THINK HE IS A JOKE!!!! And this president is going to bring down the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. As he said “WE ARE 5 DAYS AWAY FROM LITERALLY TRANSFORMING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”….WAKE UP MY FELLOW AMERICANS, This President is RUINING THE COUNTRY WE LOVE, GIVING HIS FRIENDS AND THOSE WHO GOT HIM ELECTED FREE RIDES. WAKE UP. WE NEED TO ELECT CONGRESS MEMBERS WHO SAY “I’M HERE FOR YOU” AND NOT “F-U”. We need to get answers to what THIS PRESIDENT is doing, and MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AS WELL. We Need to keep these people ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR ACTIONS, and this President MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE, HARRY REID (DINGY HARRY) MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE, BARNEY FRANK MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE, CHRIS DOD(BIG LIAR)MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST CHARLES SCHUMMER WHO SAID “THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT CARE IF THERE IS PORK IN THE STIMULUS BILL (THAT WAS PASSED BECAUSE IF IT WOULD NOT PASS, WE WOULD ALL DIE). So before you all go blaming Bush, you should realize that this President caused this problem that we have now, and he has no plan, and his party will fail because they want to tax us into oblivion, and the media WILL NEVER REPORT THE TRUTH, and they will lie. I COULD GO GO AND ON….THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW, AND WE NEED TO HAVE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE. AS SOMEONE SAID ABOUT THE NAME OBAMA….It stands For

O = ONE
B = BIG
A = ASS
M = MISTAKE
A = AMERICA

Rose,
It would appear there is no limit to what is “beyond you”. You are part of the problem.

and remember who insisted on giving all those “high risk people” exorbitant house loans that they could never pay back. i think barney frank has his hands all over this mess, but of course would never admit to any of it.

“0″ gets free reign for at least a year before he’s to be held accountable for any of our financial troubles. holding him accountable now is racist!

Bryan B
what you don’t understand
when the democrats were voted out the republicans had a lot of cash in the kitty to spend. And what did they do? they spend the country into the red.

President obama inherited a red country, he has to borrow money from china to start getting the messed up country out of this mess.

Talking about jobs, tell that to your business men who carried all their businesses to china , india, mexico.

and you patriotic people who buys “made overseas”, the jobless people should be string you up. You are the cause of the joblessness.

this is life in obamanation

If politics interest you be sure to check out some funny political t-shirts @ http://www.roadkilltshirts.com I’ve found some great ones! Both right & left winged!

terry,
you are the problem.

If I remember correctly there was homelessness long before Obama took office. But of course Obama is to blame, for the war, for the banks and all the other bs that occured prior to him taking office. Hatred of any kind is not good. And what continues to amaze me is that the majority of the haters are CHRISTIANS. Blessings to all of you and I hope you always have because one day you could be homeless also and don’t be so supid that think it can not happen to you. Now blame Obama if you loose your job. Look what jobs were going overseas long before Obama. But remember one day that you to will be judged and the punishment will be much greater.

SO MANY PEOPLE, SO FEW BRAINS, WILL IT BE THE OBAMA”S ADMINISTRATION FAULT IN TH 2ND TERMOR WILL WE STILL BLAME THE RIGHT. I HOPE YOU LIKE THE “CHANGE” OBAMA PROMISED. I DON’T EVEN CARRY CHANGE IN MY POCKET, CAN’T STAND THE JINGLING NOISE. PRETTY SOON “CHANGE” IS ALL ANY OF US ARE GOING HAVE LEFT IN OUR PAYCAHECKS. MOST YOU THOSE STILL BLAMING BUSH PROBABLY DON’T HAVE JOBS AND NEVER HAD A JOB SO THEY DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT WE ARE ABOUT LOSE. GO SPEND YOUR FOOD STAMPS AND HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY.

BryanB

is it not true that Bush borrowed money from China to afford to give-back our money as a stimulus bonus? What ass backwards kind of accounting is that?

It would appear that he created more debt for us and delayed the inevitable brutal awakening of americans…now they blame Obama…lies upon lies.

When you get that through your pea-brain only then will you realize AMERICA IS SCREWED!”

First of all I am not a truther or a birther I am someone that thinks that failures within the Bush and Clinton administrations led to the lapses that caused 9/11, my point was the GOPer’s refuse to accept any responsibility for failures in leadership and governance under Bush that led to 9/11 and instead blame it all on Clinton.
I believe that when it comes to the economy, most of this mess is the doing of the past decade of inept and unwise policy making on both sides and that it will take time to run its course, McCain nor Obama, no GOP or Dem could do much to turn the economy around in less than a year from its near collapse… you folks believe somehow that your guy would have us out of this mess now, and Obama is only worsening it… Obama’s stimulus policies are going to take 2 years to have any impact according to most studies… and the stimulus policies will have an effect, government spending is a portion of the calculation of GDP last time I checked..

You go from the comments I made to calling me a “nutjob that supports Al Gore”,… I made NO comments about the environment or Gore, you assume so much to the disservice of your intellect. For the record I am a moderate democrat who supports the President of the United States whether it be Bush or Obama, I give them the benefit of the doubt and realize the job and the decisions that they have to make are far more complex, and far more numerous than the masses will ever realize. I believe in the system of Govt. that I live under and do not wich to poison it or tear it down because my party of choice is or is not in power… I maybe one of the last moderates around.

Further, why do you on the right, you hard core righties, feel it is necessary to personally attack people when debating political issues…. It shows your level of intelligence and civility… it is poisonous folks like your selves, radicals on the left and the right, that are just as responsible for the deteriorating body politic in this country as the corrupt politicians are. Wow I made all of those comments without calling you names like a first grader… name calling, incivility is a waste of time.

Listen, the buck MUST stop with someone, and the current president is always the one. Bush may have started some of it, but Obama ramped it up 100-fold, and the bottom line is, Obama is president, Bush is history, Obama has the power to effect change now, Bush does not, THEREFORE, whatever the issue is, it is to be squarely laid on the desk of responsibility and resolution of OBAMA, not Bush. Bush is nobody anymore, he can’t do anything. Obama can. Get your priorities and logic fixed…

The economic collapse is the result of a deliberate 30 year trend by the US Federal Reserve which has caused credit (debt) to out-pace GDP growth on a consistent basis. Both Republicans and Democrats have embraced this excess debt growth because it added a good extra 10% to total GDP output, making both parties look better than they should have looked. The Community Reinvestment Act is just one small part of this overall puzzle.

If we allow the Federal Reserve to continue to inflate the money supply faster than GDP growth, this same sort of problem will occur again and again until the dollar totally collapses. The only valid way to stop this is to ensure that the mathematical growth of money never exceeds the actual GDP growth of the economy. There are a number of practical ways to do this but once again, neither party is actually discussing the real solution. Instead, both parties are trying to re-stabilize the system just so they can get the “growth” game going again and pass off the negative results to some future group of politicians.

Obama just bought 200 MILLION rounds of bullets for Homeland Security, the greatest enemy of the American people.

Obama orders USNORTHCOM to increase troop strength in North America to 1 million troops by end of 1/10.

Most Obama haters are Republican haters that are generally unexposed and opposed to the idea someone of different race can perform better than they can. Get used to it haters…. FYI both Bushes were Morons

Bullets and troops??? IMF is about to devalue all world currencies, the dollar is dead. Millions of the middle class are about to be wiped out. Gold to jump to $50,000 per ounce.

The only thing that is very encouraging to me during this time of insanity in our government is that, based on the many comments here, most people seem to have a clue! And I am in total agreement that we need to throw every single incumbant out of Congress during these next two elections and start over. At first, I thought . . . don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. But even my own “conservative” representative has been wishy-washy on the issue of illegal immigration AND he voted for TARP. Now he’s sending a weekly newsletter to his constituents advocating the repeal of TARP because the money isn’t being used as intended! It’s a no-brainer–he’s been working in that cesspool known as Washington, D.C. for too long (14 years) and has been greatly influenced by its toxins. It’s time we sent someone else for a fresh start . . . which is why I’m voting for his opponent in the Republican primary come next Spring! WE NEED TO START OVER!! AMEN!!

I think it’s fascinating how a person would rather makes a sign, that probably cost 30 or 40 dollars to make, when he or she could have used to actually help people that have been afflicted by the downturn. ALl with the hope of battling to create the narrative that this whole mess was actually caused by Obama. Man, you people love smelling your own farts, dont you…?

WE NEED TO STOP GIVING MONEY AWAY TO THOSE THAT DON’T WORK.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR HOUSE, THAT’S TUFF SCHMIDT.

IF YOU REFUSE TO WORK YOU SHOULD STARVE.

NO MORE FREE LIVING

Gary T, Obama is a second Herbert Hoover. Bush would be Calvin Coolidge. Calvin Coolidge presided over the collapse of the economy leading to the Great Depression, but Herbert Hoover was blamed. Tough luck for Obama.

Hooverville = Obamaville

LOL

You think it’s bad now, just wait till the Muslims commit thier next act of terror and we don’t have the might to do anything about it because cowards and speechmakers are now in control. Very soon the World is going to walk all over us because Wonder Boy has to think it over for six months. You will all wish you could live in Obamaville very soon. Enjoy your hope and change.

I wouldn’t even put Obamas name on anything. “Yes We Can” is “Thank You Satan” played in reverse…check it out.

I think Bush couldn’t do anything to prevent the recession because Clinton had already removed all these regulations on loans. That made it much easier for people to go into debt, and down the road, here we all are. Bush couldn’t do anything because he was up against a democratic senate and congress and whatnot. Any move on his part would have been voted down.

30% of America mooches. People aren’t going to return to work for a living when they are given a free ride for not working. Obama should cut off all assistance checks, force the moochers to get jobs or starve.

Hmmm – Truth hurts? Hey Libs? Idiots!!!

Sorry – can’t blame Bush – Franklin Raines came well before this crisis – and was supported by Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of YOUR leaders. Tools!

When unemployment was 6.2%, Clinton ran campaign ads showing the homeless, he beat Bush I. With Obama, the homeless aren’t found on city streets living in boxes… they are getting $1,000+ welfare assistance MOOCHER CHECKS from the great God Obama. STOP SENDING THE MOOCHERS FREE MONEY

Democrats laughably blame Bush even after the whole nation knows it was the two years of democrat control congress that bears most of the fault of the economic collapse and even after one whole year of nauseous needless billions of dollar Democrats spending that will burden our children for years to come and spending that hasn’t produced one single viable full time job. So Democrats can continue to keep their head in the sand and continue to participate and praise this disastrous course with inept leader Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

Gary T. has drunk the koolaid… If you can remember back 2 years it was the demoncrats who first complained that the economy was in bad shape… long before it really was. Since the economy is largely based in confidence, it should be clear that this is a democrat recession through and through.

Doesn’t the democrat congress, who makes the laws, come in for any credit on this? Somehow it’s still Bush’s fault? Is it Bush’s fault that every law since he left seems raises spending (and thus taxes) with limited economic benefit and a resulting loss of jobs? It should be clear we’re headed the wrong direction.

If you believe that Bush did all this then you’re just a sheep, perfect fodder for the liberal machine.

If instead you wake up, check the facts and start getting your opinions from critical thinking rather than Lamestream/democrat talking points, you might find yourself starting to think a little more like a conservative.

Most us us come to conservative thinking through logic and reason, not because someone told us it was so. When you’re ready to think for yourself, we’ll be here to welcome you to our side.

Gimme a break with your trite “slave labor” Marxist talking points. The free market is the ONLY moral economic system in the history of man. Come up with some new material.

LMAO — how “MUST” I be “held accountable” for not supporting the despicable unions, who in turn, support the perverted, corrupt, Stalinist left in this country? If corruption were the only problem, that would be one thing. But the corrupt unions support the equally corrupt Democrat party, which is in the process of destroying this country. And I refuse to participate in, and contribute to, that destruction. I don’t hold the unions alone responsible for the economy, but I do blame them for the bankruptcy of many companies, the absurd, criminal level of taxation they inflict on states and localities and — most critically — the support they provide to the Marxist left.

I happily take “accountability” for my CHOICE to not support the unions and the leftists who are trying to destroy my country. The left is the enemy of American values and the enemy of the Constitution. Yes, count me in on that one. I stand up and take responsibility for that position. Proudly so.

If you have a problem with illegal immigrant labor, join the club. Republicans tolerate it because they provide cheap labor; Democrats tolerate it — scratch that, enable and encourage it — because they want more votes and want to change this country’s demographics because they believe they’ll benefit politically. Because that’s ALL the perverted left is about — their own power, the country be damned.

Haters?……Let me count the ways the liberals hate…anyone successful, anything Christian, anytime someone stands up for America, any unborn child, in general any aspect of American Life!

Its going to take time, perhaps years to undue to the economic crisis caused under Bush.

Fortunately we are seeing signs of economic recovery, unfortunately there will always be homeless and struggling people in America

Obama should of gave the working taxpayer a bailout by not collecting taxes for all working wage earners…. BUT NO, its not for the Obama voting block: the moochers that refuse to work or the IMF/world corporations.

I got a feeling all workingclass taxpaying people will not be voting democrat.

But the moochers and the millionaires will be voting for the dems.

This is a WAR BETWEEN THE PROVIDERS AND THE PARASITES.
Maobama is the King of the parasites and the providers will not tolerate anymore looting!

Earl you Obama sh|teater

There is no recovery, the worldwide economic collapse is still on.
Your Obama diluted dollar is worthless.

Barry is our first “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION” PRESIDENT and it shows.

THROW THE MOOCHERS OUT OF MY COUNTRY. OBAMA WANTS AMERICA TO LOOK LIKE ETHIOPIA, BEGGARS AND HANDOUTS. NEVER PUT A BLACK MAN IN CHARGE OF MONEY.

In nature, if an animal refuses to work, it starves.

In the USA, if a piece of sh|t Obama voter refuses to work, it gets free rent, food, medical and their kids go to an Ivy League for free.

Obama just bought 200 MILLION rounds of bullets for Homeland Security, the greatest enemy of the American people.

Obama orders USNORTHCOM to increase troop strength in North America to 1 million troops by end of 1/10.

2nd Civil War is here, the Working taxpayers vs. the Moochers.

Whenever Democrats lose elections, it’s because it was “stolen” from them. They never look at themselves for reasons why they lose..

Props to the man who had the sign made by stimutaling the economy and giving the sign maker work. I was just wondering if the people were able to use the 8,000 dollar credit tword the purchase of a new home and if it came with parking for the cash for clunkers deal.
One other thing, was the great plan by the new president to borrow billions of dollars from China and just spend it.

LOL. Well, Obama’s certainly not making the case that his race can do a better job. In fact, he has probably set back the African-American case back decades.

democrats have been running the govt since 11/06, but its all Bush’s fault

just ask obozo – he will tell you

all bad is Bush’s fault
all good is nobama fault

its the America hater obama way

For GaryT. Just for your information nimrod. Bush is not the cause of people loosing their homes. How about putting the blame where it goes and that is with the Democrat congress. They were in charge when this happened or should I say when Barney Frank and Chris Dodd demanded lending institutions start letting out loans to people who could just make their apartment rent much less pay a note on a home that is above their means. You Democrats seem to forget that the Dems controlled the congress for a good portion of GWB last term. He was an idiot but this problem was not caused by him

Hmmmmmmmmmmm…………….
100,000 new jobs, ALL Federal Jobs, average Federal Gv’t pay, $71k+,new private sector jobs?.

Don’t know of any, but temps for the NO Holiday Season we’re into.
Average American NON Gv’t worker salary/pay?. $30K+……..
See any pattern here?.This games been PLAYED beforte, and it’s never worked, or lasted, EVER…….in the history of the world.

Frank, and Dodd, refused to rein in Fanie and Freddie( they had control).
As far back as ‘05, MCCain, Bush, and Ron Paul, were demanding controls and regulations be put on the lending at FM/FM………..(Videos of some on You Tube).
Dems say NO……………

Everone deserves a home………….whether they can afford it or not…
They got em, now we getn’ em back, a dime on the dollah.

What ever he say’s, listen, and watch it be 100% the opposite.

The ONE thing he DID not lie about, is CHANGE………….

He sure did mean that, I KNOW, 90% of Amerika did not think THIS kind of change………..
Folks no matter who you think is to blame, better get ready for a lot worse economically.

WE have MAYBE, till 2012 before this house of cards impoldes.

Get your house in order……………and preprae for the toughest times you have ever seen……
Even if Health Scam, and Cap&Steal,Cliamte Gate, do not get thru, it’s still coming……………..

Can’t debauch a nations currency to the point we have and survive…………..

People GET ready, there’s a train a comin’.

Earl you are hilariously hopeless. This may or may not have started with Bush, but Obama poured trillion gallon drums of gas on the fire. Obama, Reid, Frank and that idiot Pelosi will go down in history as the worst politicians in history. They have destroyed our fair country.

Gee Gary T….you really think Barry Soetoro’s (aka Barak Obama) payouts went to a different group of thugs than Bush’s?? Why do you think his appointments come from Goldman Sachs and the Federal Reserve??? Why keep Bernanke, Gates etc. Put the glass down and realize the new boss is worse than the old boss. Obama is out Georging George. Geitner is a world-wide joke. Even the Chinese college students almost laughed him off the stage when he explained his policies and announced the “U.S. dollar is strong.” Get out of the right left paradigm the corporate propaganda masters have talked us into and call a global banker shill a global banker shill. Obama is just finishing what the stooge Bush started in the consolidation of power on Wall St and the slow handover of U.S. economic power to the east. In the 1980’s the U.S. dollar had a 200 ranking on the NYBOT, today it is at 76. If it gets below 60 we’ll be looking like Germany in the 30’s. But that’s ok, we still will have hope and change right?
His Nobel speech: “War is peace”……reminds me of another George from 1984. I hoped he was different, and I took the bait. It’s going to be an interesting year economically.

dread-ful wrote: “is it not true that Bush borrowed money from China to afford to give-back our money as a stimulus bonus? What ass backwards kind of accounting is that? It would appear that he created more debt for us and delayed the inevitable brutal awakening of americans…now they blame Obama…lies upon lies.”

Ok, now we KNOW you’re punch drunk. Obama is the most reckless, irresponsible spender in world history. And second place isn’t even close. This is not a matter of opinion. He has created the biggest deficits in world history, doubled the national debt and that’s all in his first year. And now he’s proposing even more, with his crap and trade scam, socialized medicine and everything else.

This radical is a disaster on every level, but this knucklehead tries to defend him. Fortunately, most of the rest of the country has caught on, even you remain blissfully clueless.

Think about how stubborn these people must be to live in a tent in the cold. Give me a break! Why didn’t they do something to better themselves sooner? It takes years and a lot of ‘burning of bridges’ to become homeless.
Being a former resident of Colorado Springs, I know there are plenty of facilities and organizations that help the homeless and poor. Homelessness/poverty does not come over night. At some choice, it becomes a choice. Choice on what you spend your money on, choice on where/if you work. Choice on where you live and what climate you choose.
By the way, regarding the shelters… if the ‘homeless’ do not want to follow the rules, they are not allowed to stay in the shelters. Smoking, drinking, drugs are not allowed which is why some of these people are electivly on ‘the streets’.

We live in a nation where, on the one hand, morons that believed obama’s bs can not comprehend that he is an incompetent bag of wind that is spending our children’s future down the toilet, and on the other hand, other morons worship him for thumbing his nose at every principal that made America great, just so long as he sticks it to the country — and the paradox is that the very morons that thought they were going to get some pay back from obama aren’t going the get a cent.

I agree with obama, all you idiots deserve IS a cardboard box.

Im just waiting for the rapture

The free loading moochers are in charge for just a few more months

I just about Obama’ed my pants when I read Gary T’s comment. Gary T. is a great example of the kind of reform we need. EDUCATION reform. Obama’s idea of “reform” is top do everything possible to destroy our country and make everyone into subjects/acorns/Obamabot’s (who don’t require much food or heat.) Nice work Gary. You make (your) vile and disgusting leader proud with how his staff and minions have totally crippled your mind and will.

EDUCATION REFORM is obviously the biggest need in our country. How else could any (rational) person explain the mess we are in (freely voting this horiffic president (who consiously is trying to destroy our country) and the likes of Reid, Pelosi, Frank, etc.) into public office.

US President Barack Obama has issued an order to his Northern Command’s (USNORTHCOM) top leader, US Air Force General Gene Renuart, to ‘begin immediately’ increasing his military forces to 1 million troops by January 30, 2010, in what these reports warn is an expected outbreak of civil war within the United States before the end of winter.

Winchester to Deliver 200 Million 40-Cal. Rounds to Homeland Security.

The AMerican taxpayers are Hussein-Obortion’s targets.

Gary T quit posting until you learn proper english. You’re showing your ignorance.

Em, Em, Em

We need to execute all thugs that use a gun in their crime.

No second chance, eliminate 25 million gun-thugs in the two years.
Simple lethal injection costing just 75 cents.

That would save the taxpayer hundreds of billions.

If you use a gun in a crime, you die?
wow, what a novel idea.

Lethal inject all drivers driving under the influence.

Gary T needs to grow a brain, blaming bush is the way of the left and unfortunately
won’t change anytime soon. It shows who the left is in the way they act, the
ducking and dodging of questions asked them directly, the left can’t answer anything
with a simple yes or no, it always ends up in some inane banter designed to confuse
most average folks who don’t speak bullshavik. Get a life libs, and stop your dummy
from crowning czars who have no business in positions of power.
ESPECIALLY FISTGATE BOY!!!!!! GET THAT FREAK OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS!!!

Lethal inject all felons.
Lethal inject all drivers driving under the influence.
Lethal inject all thugs that use a gun in any crime.

well that takes care of half the moochers.

well that takes care of half of the Obama voters

At some point you Obamaniacs have to stop blaming Bush for everything. His Godly Highness has been Pres for nearly a year now, face it, he is a complete failure, empty suit. The whole world sees him as such except for the mind numbed robots who elected him. That would be you!

WOW, lotsa comments here. Most of them blaming Obama or Bush. If everyone here were to watch “Fall of the Republic” at YouTube, we might actually be able to achieve some REAL change. I’ve got a nasty little secret for all of you, come close…closer still, shhhh, until we audit the Federal Reserve nothing, I repeat N-O-T-H-I-N-G is going to change. Read Ron Paul’s books, listen to Alex Jones and you will gradually begin to understand what is going on here.

Idiot conservatives have short idiot memories… Financial ruin follows from Bush’s reign not the less-than-12-months that Obama has been in office…

Where are all the bleeding heart liberals on this deal?.. why aren’t they there helping these folks
