Quote from MKTrader:
I'm getting tired of him blaming Bush Jr. for everything. I expect B. Hussein to start blaming Thomas Jefferson or Gerald Ford before long. Whatever the problem, it's always someone else's fault. And it's always safer to make dire economic predictions that your horrendous policies will fulfill.
It would be comical if the country weren't at stake.
Why are you hiding from reality? Bush inherited a surplus and a healthy economy from Clinton and Obama inherited a complete mess from Bush.
Here is Bush's financial resume:
-Spent the surplus and bankrupted the treasury.
-Shattered record for biggest annual deficit in history.
-Set economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
-Set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market.
-In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their job.
-Cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any president in U.S. history.
-Set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.
-Presided over the biggest energy crises in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed.
-Presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have.
-Cut healthcare benefits for war veterans.
-First president in U.S. history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously go bankrupt.
-Presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud of any market in any country in the history of the world.
-Set the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending increases, more than any president in U.S. history.
-My biggest lifetime campaign contributor presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).
-Spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in U.S. history.
-Entered office with the strongest economy in U.S. history and in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down.
